I haven't paid for a streaming service since 2020, when they started to enshitify.

Same. Cancelled all of my streaming subscriptions when the price/service ratio switched to higher price and lower quality of service... I was a happy paying customer for years until they decided to get greedy.

They were actually doing good on their mission to "fight against piracy" in my opinion, but, me hearties, greed got a hold of those landlubbers, har har har.
