Fucking Amazon. They’re dominating the replacement parts and hardware market so much that even the big box stores are decreasing their inventory for stuff I need daily for my job. Whatever I need, Amazon can get it to me faster and cheaper than anybody else - I know why and I hate that is the case. I am forced to participate to stay solvent in my work, forced to participate in the “land of the free.”

I am outside of the loop and I appreciate your break-down. I am all for paying for useful services, but I have such a backlog of media that I need to watch, I don’t benefit from Trakt. I like a paid business model, though

We should all question a “free” app that lets us spend 1 or 2 or 8 hours a day on their platform. We’ve gotten greedy, thinking that everything should be personal data or advertiser supported. It stinks that Trakt is cutting features while raising prices, all for a pretty simple service, but I think subscription services that protect your privacy are worth funding.
