I don’t use Amazon much anymore anyway, because the products are overwhelmed with cheap, poor quality trash you couldn’t peddle on alibaba and completely worthless, largely faked reviews and ratings. I order once or twice a year some replacement cable or adapter I can’t find anywhere else reasonably quick, but that’s pretty much it, so canceling over this ad bullshit doesn’t really hurt me much.
Next on the list is my Netflix sub, which I largely use just for oldtrek reruns as second screen background noise while I use my computer. I could probably, uh, procure those shows fairly easy, or splurge on a collectors edition and would still save money.
If it's available where you are PlutoTV is free and has a Star Trek channel. You don't get to pick the shows and it's only original and tng, but you can leave it on for days with almost as much Star Trek as the average fan could want...
Check your local public libary, a lot of them have DVDs you can check out for free.
Mine also partners with streaming services like hoopla and kanopy so I can stream like 10 movies per month.
Nah, most of it is coming from Alibaba, but at a markup.
There’s a used media shop down the street and I’m contemplating getting dvd/bluray box sets of my favorites so that I have offline media available.
Go ahead, I did the same and I really don't miss Netflix. I should also mention I have crappy internet, so it's much better/easier to just download good quality vidéo files overnight than sit through a constantly-buffering 240p stream
