   @jstatepost @edzilla @lauren yep, not sure why it's declined, I don't pay for movies and TV shows. These corporations have enough money and I'm on disability income. They can suck it.

   If they want to match my disability income to a reasonable price point for content I can *own*, then I'll reconsider. I have a feeling I'll be in the ground before I have an attempt to reconsider...🤦♂️

     What's going to happen is that people will go back to piracy, which had been declining for a while.

     🥥 Talk to a local high school student to learn more about this fascinating topic, and how it could save you beaucoup Ameros in cable or streaming fees.
     Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. 🥥

     Streaming services' continuing dramatic price increases are going to make the traditional cable company packages that triggered "cord cutting" by consumers look like bargains by comparison. The deep and pervasive greed on the part of some of these streaming services -- raising prices, flooding the services with ads -- exactly what most consumers wanted to escape from -- is disgusting.
