Man, I'm so glad I shelled out $300 for a 16tb HDD and taught my wife how to download movies and shows from a nice web interface (overseer) that I'm self hosting. By the end of the year it will have already paid for itself. No more ads, subscription fees, not being able to watch something because another service owns it, movies and shows moving to other services, shitty UI changes, password sharing crackdowns, or any of the other shitty things about streaming.
Remember kids, if buying it isn't owning it, it's not theft to get it without paying. (Moral advice only, not legal advice)
TL;DR $7 for basic, $10 for Plus
This is the one platform I would truly hate to lose, not for myself, as I can download whatever I want (like I did when Netflix made changes), but because I have a young daughter (5 years old) who discovers her shows through the platform’s recommendations. Downloading and trying something unfamiliar could be challenging for all of us
“cannot have an active Hulu subscription, or an active or canceled Disney+ or ESPN+ subscription.”
Or a canceled* subscription? So if I had one for a month or two I can't be added?

It's just a concession that they have no idea how single sign on works, and haven't been able to hire anyone who has any idea, either.
