I just cancelled my subscription. They ask you for a reason and I put "abortion advocacy and etc.".

I’d like to wean myself off of them, too. I just have the 2 DVDs per month deal. We live in No Man’s Land, so internet streaming is poor, at best. (Satellite)

Are there any other services that ship DVDs, anymore?

Has anyone tried Brit Box? We love a lot of the Brit murder mystery series.

I was putting off subscribing and then it became obvious that Netflix pumps raw sewage into our culture just like HBO. No thanks.

Its been predicted netflix will shrink quite severely as other media companies offer their own streaming services, and Disney is poised to take quite a bit of their market. One reason for buying up so many other studios.

Bad story telling.

Everything they have is available on various sources through Kodi.

Reason to cancel the streaming service? The Barry and Mike deal would be more than enough.

I subscribe to Netflix but now I'm getting notices when I turn on my smart TV that there are movies available to rent? I thought just subscribing to them that all movies would be available. Apparently not.

If I have to now pay to rent movies on Netflix with my subscription then I'm cancelling too........

I’d subscribe if they’d make a Rom-Com about The Rookie and The Wookie... Or maybe Uncle Joe Stalin and Nadezhda.

100% for sure. They alienated 63 million customers.

I don’t think it’s alienation as much as it’s their interface that’s driving folks away. It’s hard to find something new to watch without being bombarded by their autoplay trailers. After a couple of tries, I close the channel and go to Prime or HBO. Whoever thought that this interface was a good idea was an idiot.

We had a family subscription, paid by my daughter, the poorest of us all. She quit when they raised the rates.

I never watch TV. I watch select movies from my DVD collection. I saw Casablanca last night, and Howl’s Moving Castle last week. I stopped watching network TV in the early 90s when Cosby and Tool Time went off the air. I watched a little NCIS in the 2000s and that’s it.

Too many commercials, too low quality.

I also watch Youtube channels with educational and sports content.
