    The price hike follows Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney’s decision to bundle their streaming services, Disney+, Max and Hulu. The bundle will be available in both ad-supported and ad-free tiers. While the pricing has not been disclosed, CNBC reported that it will be offered at a discount in an effort to make it a more desirable option.

    Whats even cheaper than bundling is only subscribing to one at a time and canceling before subscribing to the next one. Rotating services make for a pretty cheap monthly streaming bill.

      Even better is your monthly streaming bill being $10 in electricity and a $5 VPN subscription (if you’re in a country where your ISP sends angry letters and you don’t opt for Usenet instead)

        They will send angry letters about damn near anything too. I made the mistake of not having my Windscribe VPN turned on on my tablet while torrenting an exam book I didn’t feel like waiting for at the library. 6MB which took a split second to get and I got a nice angry letter.
