Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I got rid of Netflix a while back and I don't regret it. There's some good stuff here and there but even a lot of the good stuff seems to get one good season and then decline in quality after it has successfully hooked people. Add in the frequent heavy handed, awkward tokenism and 'messaging' and it rapidly killed my interest.

This. We'll see if they'll scale it back now that they're in some trouble, but for as long as the above remains true, any "offers" to re-sub will go straight to the trash bin. The sole redeeming feature of Prime is you can pick and choose what to rent and it has some practical benefits separate to its streaming service, but I can't say I'd watch any of their own productions...

The two reasons I keep using my mom's Prime Video is The Boys and The Grand Tour. Rest is just white noise for me.
