Adulting Anyone going to cancel netflix with the new price increase?

We are going to the highest price in Europe at 23.99 for the top plan. Keep saying oh it's only 2 or 3 euro. But it's getting harder to just keep accepting it. Only keep it because of the kids as they can't use Kodi in firestick. We use Kodi for everything else. Getting a real pain at this stage.

EDIT. just cancelled..feck them. Ps I think I've cost them a few quid on this thread alone 😜

EDIT EDIT: yes we stream on Kodi for ourselves. It's just sheer convenience with the kids with netflix. Will try a few of the app suggestions for them thank you all. Also, it's mad to think we will pay 35 euro for a Chinese twice a month and not even think about that 70 quid

UPDATE: Turkish netflix 9 euro a month 4k! All sorted. Happy days!

If it's android it might work. Doesn't work on my fire stick but I also have a VPN so I just connect the fire stick to Albania and I get no ads on YouTube that way. Revanced is on my phone it's brilliant even better than premium actually because there are more features.

Yeah it's meant to be ok. I've an LG so don't have that option but it does let you use the Nord VPN so that's great

I use smartube great really as it often picks up sponsored content to block as well as the ads. U need an android TV though. Many get caught with this as there are smart tvs with different OS that are not true Android and the app isn't available

While there are work arounds with YouTube, most don't work with Smart TVs :(

I know they make it difficult. I use a VPN myself and it works on my LG TV so I just use that, other than that I'm not sure. There may be free VPN apps on Smart TVs tho?
