Absolutely this. Today’s streaming is now worse than cable and at least as expensive. Add to that how the major services are shoving ads back in even on “ad-free” tiers, and it’s time to set sail.

Current leadership is immune to protests, and actively pursuing every measure to usurp the rule of law. There is no one to whom one can appeal. Wishing for diplomatic heroes, because it feels hopeless.
