Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

I've no problem with paying for good services, but when I get a better service from a random pirate streaming site than I do from Amazon Prime, why would I continue paying for that?

I'm just sick of things either being exclusive to one service even though they're decades old, or just plain not available.

Oh, and if I'm paying, I don't want ads. Not ever.

Source on better pirate streaming service?

Any of these will do. Prime is not a high bar to get over. Some may work better than others, and I think it's down to where you are and time of day than anything else.

It's not as good as downloading yourself and running Jellyfin, but it's convenient.
