00:00Apple TV and Netflix over the years have started to put prices up
00:03So it started like made me want to cancel subscriptions a lot and stop paying for things like that
00:08And especially Apple as well. They make you pay a subscription for more storage
00:12So I think that's a bit diabolical. I'm subscribed to
00:16Sky movies and I never watch a flipping movie
00:19So yeah, and when you try and cancel it, you can't just click you've got to phone them and that's an ordeal apart from Amazon Prime
00:26Which I subscribe to simply to watch the Grand Tour and you know, the free musketeers going at it
00:31Most of my media is actually physical
00:33I still own a lot of you know, DVDs blu-rays VHS as you know, which is ludicrous to some people the price is increasing
00:39It's not good. Yeah, the price is increasing
00:41Charging, let's say or ten pounds for ten pounds without adverts
00:45But five pound with adverts like they're trying to get money off of us if we buy subscription
00:50They're trying to get money out of us by putting adverts in and they're getting money for themselves
00:54It's a cycle yeah, we stop the cycle we need to give free streaming to everyone
