Discovery literally destroyed every channel in their lineup. Every scientific or educational channel is now infiltrated thoroughly with money making b*******.
It was trash TV before they even decided to try streaming it.

You can just write “bullshit” if that’s what you mean. The asterisks don’t protect anyone.
If you’d prefer to avoid vulgarity altogether, there are lots of alternatives to choose from.
hogwash
nonsense
rubbish
baloney
hokum
hooey
malarkey
poppycock
foolishness
idiocy
ludicrousness
ridiculousness
tomfoolery
Voice dictation censored it. Samsung buried the censorship deep enough in the settings that I don't care to turn it on and off and I'm not big on hog wash so you're all just going to have to use your imagination I know you can do it.
LOL, that’s even worse. But I’ll let it slide.
Using my imagination sounds fun though:

😆 It wasn’t even worth paying for at the previous lower price.
I'm so tired of Disney. I try to be honest. I try to be legal. But good grief do they make it so hard.
Why bother...none of them play legal so why the hell should we. Fuck them and their profits, let them drown while we starve
I dumped it.
I haven’t really missed it at all, except that I never got to finish Shogun.
Check your cell provider for free tv benefits. Hulu is included for free with some accounts on t-mobile in the US for example. And Hulu carries Shogun.
Discovery is Warner Bros. which is probably why it's mostly garbage. Disney owns National Geographic which seems like it's still doing good things (and at least can be bundled with Disney+/Hulu)
I had the bundle that includes Hulu and ESPN, but much to my partners sadness we had to cut back. So now Disney and Hulu only with ads. I'm aggravated that as soon as we cut back to save, it's already going up.
