    Because after looking at my checking account and seeing Hulu, prime with various channels and Netflix every month, I bought a VPN yearly subscription and sail the high seas instead of adding another recurring charge for a service that will inevitably lose shows or splinter into yet another app

      Not only that, but all those fragmented streaming services keep increasing prices.

      You get more bang for you buck with services outside of peacock. Peacocks draw (at least for people I know) was old reruns of favourite shows. Even if you didn’t want a VPN and a sail, you can buy the DVDs or bluerays.

      Disney +, Netflix, Prime for all their issues, create new content that people want.
