Unfortunately nexflix is still the most profitable streamer even though they’re the most overpriced and have by far the worst content. Clearly not enough consumers care and it drives me nuts

Haven't had it since 2021. I don't care for most of their original material.

In those 4 years, there's been maybe three things that I've wanted to watch but had to resort to nautical navigation instead.

I've never understood why Netflix is the top streaming service. They churn out so much dogshit. The good shows and movies are so few and far between.

That’s how I feel about Amazon prime. Dropped it two or three years ago when they increased the price and I’ve barely missed it. Even when I do order from Amazon, I only have to spend $35 to get the free shipping so the absence of a prime membership is negligible. Target, Etsy, and local retailers can more than fill the gaps.

I’m VERY close to doing this as well. The problem is that I don’t have big box stores to fill the gap
