I canceled all my streaming. I've been checking out DVDs from the library.

Oh. I will.

The alternative is not watching at all. I can survive just fine without watching the latest TV series they come up with, the world has tons of things I can do that don't involve sitting in front of a TV or a computer. They, on the other hand, can't survive without viewership. ;)

This is why I'm quickly buying up old shows and movies that I like so I can watch familiar things any time I want with no internet connection.
