Not even ad tiers are safe as Disney looks to coax people into bundle packages.
The path to sailing the 7 seas under the Jolly Roger is well marked
The price of my VPN hasn’t gone up, not once in the last eight years lol
Lucky you, I’ve had to swap VPN providers on multiple occasions due to them dropping support for Port forwarding, which in turn breaks your ability to use it for torrenting
Are these people stupid? Their competition is literally free and improving all the time.
If you are having trouble affording these services please check out jellyfin.
Not to mention “trash guides”.
Well, not free per se, DVDs and Blurays and the computer in my closet I use to host Jellyfin for the rest of the home do cost money… But they sure as hell can’t jack up the price after the fact. Quite the contrary; the hardware needed for it is getting cheaper over time. I can also use it even when the internet is down.
They are shooting themselves in the foot. Meanwhile Blurays can be had for cheap
piracy can be had for free
Only if you are ok with piracy
i mean with how these big media people treat us
True
I think it really up to the individual
Once a service introduces a sub + ad tier it’s over and obvious they are just as greedy as cable TV and racing down the same path. I can’t support that. Mostly sticking to physical media these days but still have a couple streams that are sub only no ads or ads without any subscription.

My tier won’t change so that’s nice. But I see now that they’ve created new bundles since I changed my plan that don’t force me to have ESPN, so if I don’t just decide to cancel outright - I actually can save $5/mo.
Braflix, use an ad blocker though.
“Coax”? That’s not at all what that means. 🤌🏾

If you use an adapter at each end, each one with additional power requirements, how much extra power are we using for the sake of convenience?
I’ve used these and was pretty happy with them, but I’ve always wondered about this.

They are usually about 5W, so not much.
Coax as in to gently persuade. I’d say 25% hike is more like coercion though, maybe that’s the point you’re making here?
Thank you for being one of the few (apparently) capable of comprehensive reading, yes. “Coax” here is dishonest at best.
