Streaming prices are out of hand. What are cheaper alternatives?

for streaming movies/shows just find something on fmhy or if you want to set up your own server download the stuff off like 1337x and put it on jellyfin.

For music you can do the same with soulseek/nicotine+ and navidrome on a server. OR sign up with Qobuz. I use Qobuz and I like it. artists get paid more on there than spotify and since I don't care about podcasts it's not an issue.
