Congrats, you cut the cord. Now you have six more cords. Streaming prices are rising three times as fast as inflation, making escaping cable company greed now seem quaint.

    The seven seas streaming service, however, is keeping its prices frozen for another year making it now the longest streak ever of a service without raising prices.

      Hard drive space is the cost going up whilst on the seas.

        Purge, don’t hoard.

        Keep only the stuff you’ll legitimately watch again. Purge the one and done.

          If everyone had that attitude, things will get lost forever. Someone’s gotta keep seeding.

        Even at current prices, where a 10 TB hard drive is ~$410, that’s only ~35 cents for a DVD’s worth of content (8.5 GB).

          I gotta be honest, my initial reply was a knee jerk response, I did not take any time to do the math behind the storage. Thank you

        I just spun up some old old 12 tb I had from my last bump so I wouldn’t need to prune data.

        I will use this to justify my continued hoarding of obsolete gear for far long than it makes sense.

        I’m not a hoarder, so I watch and delete after a while.

      Yet VPN use keeps gaining more friction. I can’t log into my bank without shutting it off, for example.

        Don’t tell me you didn’t get the definitive ultra mega sppporter infinite plus edition when they launched it? It had a lifetime sub so you didn’t need to pay a monthly fee anymore.

            I’m honestly not sure if you’re joking or just completely missing the topic at hand.

            You can delete items after watching or simply stream shit…
