    Tip: You don’t have to buy it.

    Streaming services are not something you have to pay for every month like food, or water. And there are plenty of online alternatives. If it’s getting shitty, then stop paying for it and let it rot.

      I’m with you. Works great for those living alone.

      But when there is a household w/3+ people, there is always someone who cannot resist playing the spineless pushover. Granny and gramps are living out their last decade; they will be damned if they give up convenient entertainment in their last stretch.

      So when one person in the household insists on these shitty overpriced subscriptions, then what? You can probably rightfully get the boot licker to pay the whole bill, but then do they have to watch alone? Or do others in the household freeload? It must be awkward in a lot of situations.
