    Wtf they just raised the price last November by a lot too. I bought a 1 year plan locked in at the old rate before it did and it’s the only streaming service I’ve had this past year.

    They’re moving from cheap prices and lots of shows to higher prices and fewer shows.

    I feel like this was the plan all along.

      Aren’t some of them just learning to type on an actual keyboard? I thought I read they’re a very mobile-first or mobile-only generation. I think it was in the context of the video game market, indie games, and mobile games.

    Lo and behold, the sight of black flags, many of which emblazoned with assortments of ordered ghastly skeletal figures and formations, being hoisted on the masts once more as they dance to and fro with the misty spray of water. The wind bellows, tugging on the many sails, as if beckoning those ships to sail unto the seven seas. They call to those weary enough of the oppressive laws of land as gusts whistle lustfully in their ears.

    (Don’t ask why I did this, I just felt like writing it for some reason)

    Hulu was the last streaming service I dropped recently, looks like at the right time.

    My Plex server is getting mighty full at this point though, time for more drives.

    I suppose the Amex Blue Cash Preferred discount will still only be $7/mo?

    Still worth it (with the discount, since I use the card for groceries anyway), especially with two small kids and a Futurama reboot.
