I’m likely not to bother with Netflix once I’m paying for my own TV services instead of just being able to use the ones my mom pays for. None of the “Netflix originals” (with the one exception of Stranger Things) appeal to me, they’ve taken down most of what I enjoyed watching and replaced it with things that don’t interest me, and they’re apt to take the few remaining things I might be interested in watching down at any time. Obviously, I am not very impressed with them.

I do want to at least see what Shudder has available, I might be willing to pay for that since I like horror.

Zero point none. I believe in free TV.


So I'm guessing no cable box.

Sure Netflix may have some great stuff worth watching, but it's also interesting that one who has Netflix assumes that another also has it (but doesn't), the person (the one who has no Netflix) may be viewed as an easy target.

Whenever I say to others, "Oh...I don't bother with getting myself Netflix", a common response from others who do have Netflix is "Seriously?! It's only $12 every month! What're you waiting for?"

I don't have a credit card (in order to pay for a Netflix subscription), nor do I have plans to get a credit card.


There is something called a debit card.

I pay for Netflix and Amazon Prime, but I also have access to Hulu, DisneyPlus, CBSAllAccess, and the Criterion Channel.

Amazon & Plex(one I've set up for personal use via the server and is shared with my family) - watching "Bird Box" tonight(movie). Used to have Netflix, but anything on there can be seen via Plex.

So you must have no bank account either? Do you have no bills whatsoever?
