Nearly 75% of Americans are frustrated that the streaming platform they subscribe to keeps raising their prices. With 40% having cut back their streaming subscriptions in the last three months due to financial concerns and rising costs of living.
These companies continue to raise prices, hoping inertia will prevent most people from switching. This is true not only for streaming sites but also for all these platforms.
We need to move away from businesses that exploit their monopolies and try to get your content or goods directly, where possible.
Some alternatives you can check out…
Media:
- Nebula
- Dropout TV
- Corridor Digital
Music:
- Qobuz (buy directly from artists)
- Soundcloud (artist-driven)
- Bandcamp (buy directly from artists)
The same principle applies to Uber, Amazon and many others.
stremio it is then.
normies need to be spoonfed these days, luckily we have that too.
I tried using stremio a few years ago, was really difficult to find links that would not dirupt every 10 minutes. Wondering if things have changed now?
the secret is to find links with a lot of peers, and let it buffer and pick up download speed for a couple of minutes. i tend to use 1080p link instead of 4k too.
