I know it's morally dubious, but I'm completely back in pirateland because of all the changes/price hikes/partitioning in the streaming space. My interests make it so I only watch 1-2 shows per platform so I'd be approaching ~100$/month.

And even if I was swimming in money, it's often easier to just download the shows I want and watch them on Plex/Jellyfin than trying to navigate the (often ad-riddled) interfaces of the various platforms and finding where the content I want is.

One example is Rick and Morty, it's made by Adult Swim, but they don't have a streaming service in Canada. It seems to be on Primevideo but under a different system than their regular content. The other way to watch it is to buy it from my cable provider (I don't have cable). So to watch a 20-minutes animated show I'd have to take a +40$ subscription.

You can buy season 6 on Apple TV and Google play for $19 according to this site: https://www.justwatch.com/ca/tv-show/rick-and-morty/season-6

If there is no way to give money for a service I have no problems with getting it via other means -- when Discovery season 4 came out it wasn't available in the UK, so I downloaded it. A week later after the backlash they put it up for sale, and I spent the £20 or whatever to buy the series.

I have no problems paying for netflix, disney, prime, and now paramount plus. I subscribe to apple TV for for all mankind, then I stop when it's finished.

What I won't do though is pay to watch adverts, that was Cable/Sky TV's market, not interested. Sell me the program and I'll buy it, try to include adverts and I'll get it elsewhere.
