Streaming prices climb in 2025 after already surpassing inflation rates | Five services started charging more in January

Yeah it's mostly YouTube for me these days. The rest of it I get with Kodi or Stremio.

The only way to get them to atop raising prices is to cancel and unfortunately our society is incapable of denying themselves little treats

[drapermache@lemmy.world]

That's because the only thing American society are the treats. We don't have healthcare, we don't have a third space ( a place besides home and work where we can just enjoy life without spending money), we don't have a house we could ever afford, but damnit, we can buy $5 jalapeño poppers at Chili's and buy streaming services! American society has placed importance around net worth and what material things you have.

Prices will never ever go down because it's honestly the only thing we have.

Your library may also have streaming services like Kanopy and Hoopla

It's all bread & circus and they're cutting down on the bread.

It's still 5€ per month.

Dems remove Corporate phallus from mouth

"Why don't you plebes appreciate us?"

Fair warning to everyone, it's an older doc (2006ish), but very worth watching. And I liked, later, going and watching the movies that it uses as examples to talk about issues. I'm especially thinking of "But I'm a Cheerleader", but there are lots.

Over the next year I am more curious about how much the Democrats will go mask-off versus the Republicans.

The republicans will do much worse things, of course. They took off their mask and burned it. But while they’re catching all the news coverage and committing their atrocities, will the democrats just continue to expose themselves as a foil for the republicans in the overall story of funneling money to the oligarchs, at the cost of literal human lives? That’s their starting point with a lot of people anyway.

There’s no looming election now. The pragmatic folks who threw you anti-Trump votes were not enough in the election, and they won’t help you at all now. Come up with something good to present to the people. Ask Bernie if you need ideas.

Oh yeah! Good addition
