@elisse it's a 🏴‍☠️ life for me and I still can't keep up with new shows and movies, so streaming seems like a doubly wasteful expense. I used to pay for crunchyroll when I watched more weekly anime (and was employed), and I also used to pay for one of the two of our Canadian sports channels, but I don't even want to look at how much they cost per month now.
