    Will you drop stream subscriptions

    Yes, I’ve got one foot out the door already. Shits too expensive, they kill all the best shows, they take down movies and stuff before I get a chance to watch them. I don’t even have Netflix, in my opinion is one of the worse streamers. I cancelled HBO a couple months ago, I only have ESPN+ and Apple TV

    what about banks

    If you’re not using a local bank or credit union I can’t help you, shit sucks and who is actually going to the branches anymore. Bank where old people bank.

    Beyond that Google search is ass (everyone knows this) Gmail is fine but only because it’s “free”, you can easily switch to a cheap alternative. YouTube is the only compelling product Google has anymore and honestly I’ll just pay for nebula if I really care about losing it

      Wait Nebula is actually built out? The YouTubers I listen to make it sound like it’s in its early infancy.

      Google search is ass

      It feels incredibly weird using Bing… I don’t even use it as an FU to Google, it’s just somehow weirdly a better search engine right now.

        I use kagi, all that money I saved from not paying for cable (streaming) lol

        Yeah nebula rules, (practical engineering legaleagle minute physics etc) I’m procrastinating dropping Apple TV for it but I figure as soon as I do I’ll be happy I did, YouTube isn’t so good anymore either. The other good one imo is dropout tv, it’s comedy and dnd type stuff with some surprisingly big names imo

        The through line is that now figuring out streaming services is cheap enough that smaller companies can do it, so buying a streaming thing from a company the creators actually work for is a better business model for both viewers and creators than YouTube or other streaming platforms

          Sounds like a Uoptian paradise. I just assumed there wouldn’t be enough content for it ever to be worth it.

            Things sure are dire when healthy competition feels utopian ;)

            whether it’s worth it is up to you I think, personally it’s worth it to me but it’s certainly possible that it’s not for others, and that’s ok! but the options exist, they’re out there
