Their ridiculous DRM makes the service not even work in Linux, so I guess I'll be forced to pirate anything I want to watch on there. ?‍♀

Though, I do enjoy the irony that their attempt to squeeze every last penny out of people has made it so millions of people can't even legitimately use their service.
Everyone wants their piece of the streaming money pile that everyone will just go back to pirating

This, so much. I think total cost for the most popular streaming services right now is over $60 a month, which adds up pretty quickly. And that does not include all of them, just the major ones like Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Disney+, Apple TV.

I agree, though it doesn't bother me too much when I can just pay for a month, binge what I want, then cancel. Can even do that with free trials sometimes. I wouldn't have much problem paying them if there was something on there that I really wanted to watch, but it just doesn't work. It gives an error.

Sure, but you don't have to subscribe to everything at once. Just subscribe to what you're currently using and cancel the others. I like the month-to-month flexibility that streaming services provide!

No find the email from them on that day that says they are Initiating the withdrawal. There is a Contact Us link at the bottom that will take you to a form to send. Only the phone contact callback works starting on the AP site.
Thanks! I filled out the email form. I have no idea if it went anywhere though.. It seemed like it disappeared so abruptly.

This is what I do. I don't watch a whole lot of TV (mostly because I'm an Audible junkie), so I just have one subscription going at a time. When I'm done watching on one, I pause or cancel it with the others and restart something else. Right now, I just have CBS All Access going because I binged Seal Team last weekend.

That's fair tbh. My brother added so many apps for services (dunno how many are paid for) to our living room TV that I'm just like :redpandadead2:

My big cashout is still stuck in limbo too. It was Saturday. The two small ones (including yesterday) have gone through to my bank though. I hope they get this resolved soon. :mad:
Same here. Of course it would be my big transfer from last week that is stuck! I sent them an email today and will be calling again this afternoon if i don't hear from them.

:raging:
I have a big transfer that has been pending since Sunday. I was able to pull money from savings to cover some stuff, but if it's not in my bank by the end of the week I'm going to be struggling. I'm really looking forward to when we only get one chance to transfer each week. :rolleyes:
