67. I cancelled because I increasingly found it difficult to search out viewable films

Thu Apr 21, 2022, 10:23 AM

Apr 2022

I am not a fan of dark themes with gratuitous violence and psycho nut jobs, or "action" films with countless explosions and chase scenes that go on endlessly. It seemed I had to "work" too hard to find the kind of films I enjoy which have been easier to find and select on Prime. I had been thinking of cancelling Netflix for years, but never did. Then they increased their rates.

Since I mostly watch films on Prime which is free to me, including Hoopla and Kanopy, I decided to cut the cord with Netflix after being a customer for nearly 20 years.

nothing to do with all the "anti-hitler" stuff.
