I can see why you would come up with that number. The reality is I tend to watch my movies multiple times. This would give me seven new movies per year. On top of all the other movies already own. Plus I still have cable TV, which there’s a good chance I may shut that down and just go with antenna. Which would still give me all of my local channels.
Right now I buy on Blu-ray, but there’s a good chance I’ll probably start buying on 4K once I get my new TV.
I pay for a single netflix sub, crunchyroll, and a vpn service.
After netflix announced ads i’ve been more and more considering dumping them and just focusing on that vpn service. I have paid for years and years of streaming services but I can’t possibly comprehend how prices need to go up again and again, almost always by double digit percentage points. The cost of storage and bandwidth goes down over time, servers get cheaper over time… there’s hardly any first party new media that is worth watching so i’m struggling to understand why i’m paying more.
The most bizarre thing to me though are people who pay for live TV… why in the world would you ever do that in 2024 with all the better options out there?
