Do it!
Ill cut subscription to free tier let adblockers do the rest. Profit.
Let me know if it works and I'll follow. I don't need quality, I just need something for my kids to watch occasionally.
If that's all you need, I'd probably just start using Tubi, Pluto, and Plex. Pluto and Plex have some good live channels (Tubi might also, haven't checked). Tubi and Plex have a decent catalogue of on demand shows and movies. Of course if you already have Netflix, it might be hard if there's a specific show they're used to.
By quality I meant resolution, I don't need 4k, but I do need specific shows my wife and kids like.
I have a NAS set up with some movies and whatnot, so I've talked to my wife about setting up a budget to purchase content we want and then cancelling our streaming services. So we'd be limited to what's available on DVD/Blu-Ray, but most of what my wife and kids watch are still available there.
The cost isn't the issue, I really hate ads and I'm worried ad-free tiers will go away (or become unreasonably expensive).
