i also ditched spotify individual for a student plan since i dont listen to audiobooks. | Isn't that how you're supposed to do it? lol
The next level is to only cycle thru free promo trials. I've done 3 months free Apple, then 1 month of Amazon with Prime, Disney at $1.99/mo, pay for Netflix for a while waiting for the next promo. Repeat ad nauseam.  |

If you have a newer TV (purchased mine almost a year ago now) opening the apps built into the TV often times has those promos built in as well.
So I managed to get 3 months free Apple TV with a new phone then cancelled and when I wanted to resubcribe used the promobuilt into the TV

i have the basic netflix plan with ads. it's a bit annoying sometimes but it's nowhere near as bad as youtube can be with their ads. sometimes you get an ad or two for 15s or 60s in the middle of a long show, and sometimes you don't. i heard that some people have experienced more ads than others, so it's possible that the frequency can change over time. if it gets unbearable i will just cancel it all.

the box is stationed at 1 of my tv's and while i've moved it around the house to diff TV's, it's usually stationed at just 1.
even though i have pretty fast internet, the box can lag at times, whether it's live TV or on demand, sometimes making it unwatchable. i'd say it's a good nice to have, got my parents one too, but they haven't cut the cable due to the reliablity factor, but great to supplement with existing services, unless you're OK with the shortfalls

Mom was always in the kitchen. We asians aren't into hugging, but the mom was like always happy to see me hugs and almost kissing............. I drew the line at that.Made great food. Mom wouldn't let me leave until I had a bowl or plate of something. A most welcoming place.
Dad was a cool guy. Always wanted to teach me a lesson in life. He was forever in his basement workshop tinkering.
Anyway....................

I can't argue with that.
i bought another one for my basement for sure.
It does skip at times.. cause I guess the live TV (esp chinese channels) are live and doesn't route to proper datacenters fast enough I guess.
Don't get me started with time zone cause in Vancouver, you can't wait 'local' 6 pm news
