    A 5TB portable hard drive only costs as much as three months and can hold most of the stuff you ACTUALLY wanna watch. To be fair, DVDs and BluRays can get expensive but at least that’s yours forever and you don’t have to worry about the studio suddenly deciding you need to subscribe to THEIR bullshit too. If it’s not available outside of streaming, well Gabe Newell said it best.

      Yup. If I can get it legally to own, I will. If I can’t, I’ll find other methods…

      I used Netflix because they had fantastic selection, a pretty decent UI, and good features on their apps. We recently went on a road trip, and both Disney+ and Netflix had “expired” our downloads (which we had downloaded like 2 weeks prior), so our kids couldn’t watch most of what we had planned for during the trip. So their features are lacking, pricing sucks, and selection is more limited than when I signed up.

      So yeah, if I’m going to have crappy selection anyway, I’ll just buy what I want and save the monthly sub.
