    I’ve had a Netflix subscription from before they even did streaming. I had the 4k plan, and even when I wasn’t watching much on there anymore, my kids would use it often. The price hikes just would not stop. Then they started moving into video games, and I started seeing headlines reading “Netflix plans to open brick and mortar locations” - followed by more price hikes and ads being integrated. It started to feel like I was just funding their dumb business moves that I’m not ever going to benefit from.

    So now I have a beautiful new NAS running Plex. Just accounting for the Netflix subscription price, I’ll break even in 2 years, and I’m using it for a lot more than just a media server.
