        They are hoping to get enough people to forget about their subscription during this hike.

        They even admitted most of the new subscribers were from Olympics and third party signups like Xfinity, T-Mobile, etc that give subscriptions out for free.

      Yeah, exactly! This should serve no purpose other than reminding people to cancel their subscription from the Olympics or last season’s NFL playoffs.

      TBH, I was shocked to find out that it’s already higher than $8 a month. Absolutely laughable prices here.

    It didn’t take long for having to buy 3 or 4 streaming services to replace cable became more expensive than cable.

    Anyway, I have a poopdeck to scrub and a wooden leg to polish.

      I’m pretty sure people only sub for live events. Back in the day the only reason I had it was to watch WWE PLEs.

    I have that bundled for free with a different service and can’t even use it, they are one of the few streaming services that go out of their way to block Linux users.

    On the upside at least they let me know it’s unusable when free so there’s no reason to ever pay for it.

    If streaming shitty shows doesn’t work out, they could always change the spelling to “Pee Cock” and do porn instead.
