Locking people into contracts will only hurt these streaming video sites. 100% sure people will just cancel and not re-subscribe.
Netflix here we go again.

Queens gambit - one of those rare non fiction series!
There are probably a lot more. Some of those were OK. A lot were good. And a few were exceptional.
When I trialed D+ all I really liked was wandavision, and a couple of the star wars series, mandalorian being my favourite. But I had a 6 months trial and only lasted 4 months before I went back to Netflix.

It appears we have extremely similar tastes in TV/movies ...
Arcane was just immense.
You should give The Expanse a go.

My subs are getting a bit silly. My current list is:
Prime (worth it for the delivery though)
Netflix
Discovery+
DAZN
ITV X premium
Works out about £50 a month, and there’s a TV licence and full sky sub with BT sport on top of that.
Watching TV is one expensive hobby these days

The Queen's Gambit is fictional.Queens gambit - one of those rare non fiction series!

"The story itself is fictional and drawn from the 1983 coming-of-age novel of the same name by Walter Tevis, who died in August of 1984. Put plainly, Beth Harmon is not a real chess prodigy."

So deep down I knew it was fictional then.
I thought I heard someone was trying to sue Netflix because it was somewhat true?
The best taste!
I tried to watch the expanse. I tried to enjoy it. But it made my head spin. I'm a visual person so with so many characters and hopping through time (ie same character, different actor) and subs.. Couldn't take it in.
Other series like this include
-dark: subs plus complex story was too much for me, 1899 was much easier to follow.
- witcher: although I watched it, because it seemed deliberately obtuse in not helping viewers who didn't know the story it made it a hard watch. I mean they didn't even put "location name" when they went between places.

A real Russian female chess player was included in the show but didn’t like that it said she’d never played against men: https://amp.theguardian.com/sport/2...-chess-grandmaster-sues-netflix-queens-gambit
In other news, Anya Taylor-Joy is lovely.

know people spend that amount on a night out.
On the other hand, newspapers are stupidly expensive. Our local rag, Leicester Mercury is £1.40 per day and published Mon-Sat. Some of the headlines were online a few days before!

I'm actually surprised newspapers are still in business.
I haven't bought one in three decades.

Do you think DAZN is worth it? Trying to talk myself into spending £100 to watch the fight tonight and AJs too.

Working at a supermarket, some customers think it’s the end of the world if we have sold out of their paper.

I’m gonna sub till after the AJ fight then cancel I think.

Not everyone likes reading their news off a screen. Personally, I think they’ll always be a place for morning newspapers.

Main issue for me, is they're out of date by the time they hit the streets.

News is just part of a newspaper. There’s other things like editorials, columnists, sport reports, crosswords, TV listings etc
