The suspension triggered strong responses across social media and beyond. Hashtags like #CancelDisneyPlus and #CancelHulu trended as users shared screenshots of their canceled subscriptions.

With cancellations surging, many subscribers reported technical issues. On Reddit’s r/Fauxmoi, one post read, “The page to cancel your Hulu/Disney+ subscription keeps crashing.”

Just dig up an old laptop and setup the full *arr stack with jellyfin. Takes some work up front but after that it's basically painless.

People keep saying this but I don't understand how it works at all.

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ah.. just try other streaming services like Sportsurge.net for now if you are not very technical. Also install uBlock Origin ;D

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 1 points 1 year ago

Nice tip! Thank you!

Live sports is the real question. Hard to get on the free scale.

Sportsurge.net

I’m an avid sports fan and all I pay for is my internet connection, currently watching a live ball game

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Will check this out! Thanks!

Yo ho ho matey. Ironically, it was location/blackout restrictions on stuff like NHL tv that I was willing to pay for but simply couldn’t watch that led me down the path of free live streams. The business screwed themselves out of a subscriber with their own DRM

StremIo is the move

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Let me check out!

[–] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

AH nah.. I still need to pay for subscriptions here.

[–] Makhno@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No subscription required for stremio

[–] Faildini@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

One subscription that's a fraction of the price of any of the major streaming services and gives access to anything you could want to watch. Trust me, it's worth it.
