With the rising prices of Netflix and Disney+, are you considering cutting those subscriptions? (discuss.tchncs.de)

I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services).

My girlfriend that used to make fun of me is now considering cutting some of those costs.

What is your stance on this?

Subscriptions are generally a bad idea if themake you dependent. I'd say these ones aren't too bad since you can cancel any time and just lose access.

If something you depend on starts to get shitty, jump ship as soon as you can. I'm considering writing a spotify ripper because the app keeps getting worse and worse to a point where it's almost unusable.
