- Netflix's lowest-price ad-supported plan increased to $8.99 plus taxes/fees, prompting the author to cancel.
- The author objects to paying for ads and restricted content, finding the $19.99 ad-free plan unjustifiable for their limited viewing.
- Instead of streaming, the author purchased a Wiscent DVD/BluRay player and physical media series during sales, preferring one-time ownership.
- The author plans to allocate the monthly $10 saved from Netflix toward buying physical discs and may consider YouTube Plus in the future.
- With the subscription ending soon, the author is finishing shows like Stranger Things but has ample physical media for future viewing.
