    Instead of spending 200$ a month on subscriptions, spend 300$ on a used PC, take a weekend to learn how to selfhost/pirate and then pay 5$ for a trustworthy vpn like mullvad. If you’re in the EU, send data deletion requests to every big company you’ve had an account with. Start buying things off local retailers, not Amazon. Buy computers/phones either second hand or from smaller/more trustworthy manufacturers…

    And most importantly. NEVER. STOP. COMPLAINING. ABOUT. IT. The moment the complaints stop is the moment that bullshit is accepted…

      Not sure if this is really accessible for everyone.

      It’s probably easy to underestimate how difficult setting up and managing services can be.

        You don’t need to do everything I mentioned, doing one of those things is more than enough… You don’t need to self host, I know it’s hard, I’m just putting it out there as an option :>

          There are IPTV options out there too. Their apps usually work with whatever device you have. Just sign up and get the app.
