Did anyone else see this? 👀

TL;DR: will be getting an ad- supported tier. If they offer this as a cheaper alternative, ok, but if + eventually pushes this on current subscribers unless they pay more a la , I'm out.

We already have an ad supported horror channel; it's called .

@stina_marie @biancotitanio @horror I for one decided to embrace my pirate overlords after being an early adopter and long proponent of streaming services. They don't make sense anymore.

@biancotitanio @stina_marie @horror I think is mostly because cable service was terrible (if existed at all) in europe (and mostly for sports); Netflix offered non-mainstream movies at a tempting price.

@stina_marie @biancotitanio @horror i have over 500 DVDs here, but they are starting to get long in the tooth. Started buying blurays but rebuying half of my collection again is painful (and expensive). Looked at streaming as an convenient alternative to discover movies I did not now if it was worth spending money for.

@biancotitanio @stina_marie @horror ohhh, good question. I used to go to FNAC for all my media related needs, and although it has reduced the size enormously, it still valid for new releases and the staff usually knows a bit about what they're selling. Mediamarkt was good for "bottom crawling", as they usually have baskets of discounted "we have too many" items, so it was a good chance for getting 70-90% discounted movies, and not all bad.

@biancotitanio @stina_marie @horror Nowadays I usually go to second hand stores, as many, many people sold their DVD collection for a pittance and you can find almost any movie and usually in good state. And online shopping of course, specially for tracking "never released in my country" DVDs.
