vkc via PeerTubeI stream nothing, and I am happy.

Anonymous FreakDecided 7 months ago to ditch (nearly) all streaming. (I pay for Apple's "all services" almost exclusively for the iCloud storage, because to buy enough storage would cost *MORE* just on its own than Apple's "everything" plan.)
I have used the money I had been spending on streaming services to buy physical media instead.
Just got my boxed set of The Expanse for this month's spend a couple days ago, and promptly ripped the discs to my Plex server.
The annoying thing is that many "streaming created" shows or older movies aren't available on physical media! Or some things that are currently available on one or another streaming service that has been "out of print" on Blu-ray (or never released on Blu-ray in the US.) And I've done a couple instances of buying out-of-print shows/movies via eBay, only to get crap pirated/burned discs. (Although each one had great *PACKAGING*, looking completely legit… until you open it and look at the disc.)
