Netflix offerings have suffered in recent years, but they they still have significant value, considering they do not implant commercials.
I got Amazon Prime on a one-day special at $70 for the first year. That averages about $6/month. Not a bad price for their offerings.
I have tried Crackle, Hulu and similar that have imbedded advertising. Nearly every time I tried to watch a movie or program, it would freeze about half-way through after a commercial break. When I tried to restart, it would run through a dozen commercials — and jam again. They were not really worth the frustration and hassle — even if they are free.
Netflex was bitten by the Produce Our Own but that bit HBO and most of the other pays. I liked Netflix years ago for the Film Nior but there isn’t much of that anymore.
I’d go Stream for TCM and a couple others but you can’t record.
Netflex will be gone as soon as they raise their price.
