If you\u2019re still paying for subscriptions like this, I\u2019d suggest setting up a Plex server and spending the equivalent of a streaming subscription each month on purchased media \u2014 be it DVDs and Blu-rays to rip or digital downloads that you can strip the DRM from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start building up a library of content that you own to eventually opt out of this whole subscription nonsense.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been building a small movie collection of films I love enough to not rely on licensing deals to be able to watch. Recently, as we’ve been thrifting, I will gaze along the movie shelves, as I did at the long-forgotten Video Den of my youth, for DVDs and Blu-Rays to purchase for pennies and add to my own streaming service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I own my own streaming service. I can watch what I want when I see something interesting I can buy, it’s a simple download away then it’s available from own media empire. I don’t need to worry about who bought the rights or if removing mountains of movies will make the stock price rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
