I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

I would’ve but I had already cancelled over a year ago because Netflix doesn’t have anything worth watching.

Yeah, I have been wondering just how bad their content has gotten, or of I somehow got pigeonholed by their filtering algorithms. Somehow almost everything was rated two stars out of five and just plain bad, or in some random language that I don’t speak.

I’m really pissed off when the same movie keeps appearing in every section with different thumbnail. Yes I’ve been fooled by both the category and the different appearance but I don’t recall ever being tricked into watching something, only annoyed and frustrated

What I'm finding and what's really annoying, is that every streaming service out there has like 1 or 2 shows and a couple of movies I want to see. Someone will bring up a show, but oh sorry, it's on Crave. Or nope, that one's on Disney Plus. That other show? It's on Prime.

I recently canceled Netflix and moved to Crave, and I am certainly no happier. Thank God I barely care to watch TV as it is.

I never gave them money to begin with, we are not the same.

I told my family I was going to cancel when they cracked down on our households sharing and they haven't yet. My parents are still enjoying it at their house, and me at mine.
