We just took our first step and cancelled Netflix! It's a small thing compared to some of you, but we're here to stay! Becoming more and more aware and striving to buy European!

I cancelled Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ a couple months ago. No more streaming subscription services for me! I'm very anti-subscription.

Except for Curiosity Stream, which is like Netflix but for educational documentaries. Even with the cost of my subscription doubling in the last 4 years, I'm still only paying about $30/year for it. Way cheaper than Netflix, and highly educational too!

I also set up my own Plex media server, then ripped all my DVDs and Blu-rays to my computer so I can watch them anytime, streaming from anywhere. I don't have to worry about content disappearing because the only time something vanishes from my Plex server is when I manually remove it myself.

Plex itself also has tons of free movies and TV shows streaming through it too. Mostly stuff that's open license. So even if you don't have your own media server set up, there's still tons of stuff to watch without paying for a subscription.
