    We have Disney+ due to kids and nothing else. Did Netflix for a bit but eventually didn’t like the price and policy change.

    I had actually enjoyed it a lot since it wasn’t too $$ at first. The price increase and stupid lawsuits made me rethink. Still decided the shows we watched as a family were worth the price and convenience.

    However in the past week they started adding things that were only available with the espn and Hulu subscriptions. So now we are seeing tons of things we can’t watch.

    It’s now really pissing me off. So all the other shit bothered me but not to the point of canceling. This however is going to be the catalyst.
