    I find that I am LOSING shows that I used to enjoy, now that Disney+ and Paramount+ and whatever are gate-keeping them.

    But yes, there is indeed a ton of lower-quality shows lining up to take their place…

        Indubitably - I have been fairly resistant to that but sadly (to me) it seems a question now of when I get time to research it, not if:-|. It’s been a minute/decade since I was my own captain though, and I don’t want to pay for a proxy service, and I’d want to see if there are Android solutions that are safe, and so on. In the meantime, I’m just 1-2-3-ing my way around, bumming my way on other people’s rides:-).

            When it works, yeah:-).

            Unfortunately, often it does not. Plus I do legit miss the feeling of being totally legit - like even though it is not illegal to stream, still I truly want some cash to trickle its way back towards the content creators. Also, places like Netflix offer a fantastic streaming service - entirely separately from the content.

            So I am not sure what I will end up doing. Maybe I will settle for getting less content, or maybe I will watch less TV entirely and read more books, but I may also investigate going deeper if I need to for a specific series, or even if I never actually use it, just to know what it is all about:-).
