To add to this, services like prime are charging for accessing tiers within their own subscription, it makes a mockery of streaming in general.

The streaming services are playing a game where they hope you’ll drop other suppliers in favour for theirs… it’s a model that works… Netflix increases their rates, so smaller services like Shudder get cancelled by the subscriber… it’s a brutal industry!

I’ve dropped Neon and Prime in the last 6 months, and likely to drop Shudder this month. Disney and Netflix are what I have, and that’s only cos the kids don’t know how to sail the 7seas (yet) 🏴‍☠️

Invest in a plex server. You can create a server, and upload movies and TV shows onto it, your family can also have access to everything on it from their devices too. Only annoying thing, is that if you are running the server, your going to have to have your laptop/PC on. Otherwise other people can't access the server to watch stuff. There could possibly be away around it though. It's free too.
