I mean sure, turn to streaming competitors, but they are not going to be any better in the long term.

The entire subscription model sucks. It's really bad value for the consumer and makes us pay huge amount of money every month for nothing once we have watched what we want to watch.

My new streaming service is powered by open source software and has a black flag on the rear end of the ship. I'll be fine.

In the end I'm one of those pirates with an enormous inventory of movies purchased on YouTube and other services, I just don't want to support services that pride themselves with cancelling after season one.
