    The worst thing a subscription service can do is remind you you’re paying for it.

    On an unrelated note, how’s your gym membership going?

      That’s exactly what happened here. HBO sent me a message saying they were getting rid of 4k streaming and I was like, "wait, I’m still paying these guys $16 a month? Wtf I signed up for Game of Thrones and that shit ended like half a decade ago.”

      Edit: I just did the math and I’ve paid these guys like $864 since GoT ended. I’ve watched one other show (The Wire) plus maybe a dozen movies since then. No way was that worth that much money. These dumb fuckers could have kept collecting that money indefinitely.
