After years of inflation, Americans are used to sticker shock. But nothing compares to the surging price of streaming video.

Last week, Apple TV+ became the latest streaming service to raise its price—up from $6.99 to $9.99 per month—following the example of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and Netflix, which all hiked their prices in October.

Half of the major streaming platforms in the U.S. now charge a monthly fee that’s double the price they charged when they initially came to market. And many of these streaming services haven’t even been around for 10 years.

I've been making fun of them for years and they just keep doubling down on their stupidity.

I've lost hope for this generation.

You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

Just make sure you have uBlock Origin installed.

Use your brains, not your wallets. (unless you're a useful idiot)

Ok, question. I'm totally tech illiterate, but have heard these kinds sites are used to farm for crypto? Like I'd rather just not watch new shows or movies at this point until I can take the time to learn to pirate again safely.

Even if that was true, why would it be bad? As long as they aren't overdoing it, why would you care?

What the hell. Can people please cancel en masse already? Why are consumers putting up with this? The price increases stop once it’s not profitable anymore.

I guess the complexity to pirate things. Or people forgot how to.

I've been sailing the high seas for almost 20 years now. It's never been easier to pirate things. Stremio and a well known service honestly beats all steaming services both in quantity and quality of the "catalogue". At least for English language content.
