I had been tapering off since 2015.  These are real numbers from my NAS.  I got a seedbox 2 months ago.  This was my last straw: trying to rent some movie on Amazon and was told I had to subscribe to some service to watch it--there was no price to watch it once.&lt;p&gt;The other things I did recently:
1) paused Google YTTV because NBA season was over
2) canceled Netflix because I never watch it&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve been watching content (some of it very old, like &lt;i&gt;The Larry Sanders Show&lt;/i&gt;) on HBO Max, but the app on Roku is *SO HORRIBLE* I&amp;#x27;d rather pirate content and watch it on PLeX.&lt;p&gt;The Amazon app&amp;#x2F;UI is *HORRIBLE*, too.  Like multiple seasons are separate items?  WTF.  I&amp;#x27;ll download series I have access to on Amazon just to avoid that app.</text></comment>
