We pay too much money for streaming services. We (meaning, me) are TV crazies and watch a lot of shows across a lot of networks. We have been downsizing a little. That includes dropping from an add-free Netflix plan to a lower tier, add-supported plan.
Unrelated (yet), my favorite Walking Dead podcast, formerly known as The Walking Dead ‘Cast and currently known as The ‘Cast of Us, started a rewatch of The Walking Dead this week. I figured I’d play along. I went to Netflix to watch the first episode before listening to the podcast episode.
That’s when I found that the show is not available on add-supported plans. It is only available on add-free plans.
Screw you, Netflix. Screw you, right in your eyes.
Paramount+ there’s something similar with their ad, supported, cheaper package as well. There’s certain movies that I want to watch on there that are not available to me.
I’m about to dump Netflix once and for all I think. I hardly ever watch it. Also, I’m hoping with Disney completely acquiring a Hulu that they’re going to combine it with Disney+ ; so I can scrap one of those as well

Lol (😂), re: “s._.r._w you, Netflix”! Welcome to the “nickel and dime” world of big tech / corporate US of A! I love their ingenuity and conveniences, but zamn. Greedy, much?! 😂 Then again, Idk, lately, I’ve started really playing around with the financial markets. Hey, “if you can’t beat them, join them [and make some mullah with them]!” (And tmi / fyi / in my defense, I promise [!]: My plan—if I get the mullah, is to give 80% of it to charity! 😐🤷♂️😂)
Regardless of all that (👆), thanks for sharing, and please keep writing! ✍️
