Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

    I’m probably going to be allowing most of my streaming subscriptions to lapse over the next year or two. Gonna stick with Dropout and PBS, but that might be all.

    They’re going up again?

    I dropped all of those. I just have a couple services now.

    CBC Gem (mostly to support CanCon and local media), one streamer, and I migrated to Qobuz for music.

    I’m the spring I’ll go to yard sales for dvds/blu rays. They’re like a dollar there, which is reasonable.

    A ton of content I liked is now owned by fascists and Larry Ellison, so I don’t even want to buy new media anymore.
