Other thing I see is that people fall on the trap that they NEED to watch what everyone is watching.
Just don’t. Rotate if you need to.
I pay Netflix one month per year, most other services even less.
YouTube Premium is the only I pay full year. It’s my TV now.
Or just use one stream .... then if you really want to watch something you can't get ... just put on your peg leg and raise the flag on your ship.
I'm the same with YouTube premium but that's mainly because years ago when it was cheep me and a few mates did a family plan, between the 5 of us it's like $6 NZ per month and they have grandfathered us so the price hasn't changed. (Tho I think originally it was $4 per month) since it's pretty much all I watch it works perfectly and comes with YouTube music!
YouTube is the king of screwing content creators. I just can't justify paying them a cent.
In general these things work on such traps.
