I clearly didn’t get over what I meant to then OB, as what I was trying to get over was that I wouldn’t be choosing that because of principle, but because it made consumption of the content not worth the delivery hoops to jump through. Though there are decisions in life I will make solely on principle, I wouldn’t be making one about this one because of that alone. It usually takes multiple factors to make decisions.
I already don’t see lots of Disney content because I’m unwilling to use card info for certain services, so I only see their stuff if it’s on BBC or the like (so it’s old). And another TV provider I downgraded the tier as they wouldn’t allow payment on an existing and now discontinued (to new customers) tier via the payment method being used, even though they will still allow it on both the tier below and tiers above!
Yet another provider of services changed the level I originally signed up for so much that I cancelled. Not that long after they closed that service entirely, so it seems the customers like me thought they were changing too much.
I enjoy TV and films, but if the method of delivery isn’t close to what suits what I need, there are other content providers to take the money. Or I can be patient and wait for it to get old enough to get offered elsewhere. I will find different content from other places, I won’t just stop everything. Not all providers of content will make the same unpalatable changes, or they will offer enough flexibility/options, so the chances of it being a No TV household are very small.
And as my absence from these forums, and elsewhere, these days shows, I have other things happening in my life that I’m more than happy to devote time to now. I probably consumed too much televisual entertainment, but I still have the same delivery preferences and enjoyment of content.
