Streaming Service Wars (Why We’re All Casualties)

[@BrandonBurch]

George is my favorite version of Dave Ramsey. He's my age, he's funny, he's smart, and cool.

[@austinayala]

I completely agree with you

[@laszlobauer5274]

No, he's my favorite. Get your own favorite.

[@nemmrrc]

Which makes Dave the GOAT!

[@CDubya.82]

🤣

[@MijoShrek]

We get it, that's awesome you are supporting your cousin out here. 😂

[@ErikMooren]

My wife said she does not need any streaming services because she can just watch me try to fix something around the house.

[@mark.daniel]

ouch. now that's a sick burn.

[@cos5603]

ohhhh, this is THE greatest comment! thanks! Signed fondly, A wife

[@leeweesquee]

I miss Home Improvement

[@elvalozano5721]

I’m an old granny and I LOVE George! I watch twice, once for the content and once for the snark!

[@oriongear2499]

I wish there was BIG streaming service where you could pay something like $10 or $15 a month and watch all the content you want without Ads (and the fear of censorship of course).

[@tama47_]

That would require these streaming companies to actually work together, which I doubt they will do.

[@pongchannel.]

At least Hulu,D+, Max are bundling. I think we'll be seeing more of those

[@sherriledbetter-freelanceh8743]

We don't stream. We cancelled cable years ago and use an antenna. Funny, when we cancelled cable, I barely noticed a difference.

[@OneWay4D73]

Only have one streaming service a month, and switch them out. They don't come out with new content fast enough, so coming back in a few months, you aren't missing out.

[@Spladoinkal]

This. Only works if you're binge watchers though.

[@OneWay4D73]

@@Spladoinkal or every few months.

[@crystalestrada7799]

Loving the content George. Ramsey is lucky to have you on the team

[@micaylawatkins7284]

Love George! I discovered him on Smart Money Happy Hour (and as a guest on Rachel's solo podcast) and laugh out loud while listening on my way home from work. So funny and knowledgable

[@Geneparmesan]

I canceled all my streaming services except two that I regularly use. I even canceled netflix. I used to have probably $150 a month between all the streaming services. If I want to watch a show i'll sign back up for 30 days and immediately cancel, give myself a deadline to watch

[@whysoblutube]

Another way to save money is to pay for the year upfront. It can reduce the overall bill 30-40%. Where available, of course.

[@Spladoinkal]

If you are a binge watcher, rather than pay for a year of a service, pick one show at a time and ONLY sub to the service it's on. You pay a little more for the service that way but you aren't paying for multiple services at once so you can save a ton of money if you like multiple platforms.

[@mikea.4477]

1:22 You never know. VHS might actually make a comeback! 😂 Would be pretty cool to use a rewinder again lol

Physical Media is the way

How many dvds are you going to purchase?

[@kellyr2984]

Just signed on to KZbin TV for one and only reason...NFL ticket!! Goodby Directtv..we love you George!

[@mikeschneider361]

If you just want a free trial or to churn a service, just cancel immediately. You'll still have the service for the length of the trial or the month that you paid... it'll just be set to cancel instead of bill at the next billing date. Heck, cancel everything immediately. Worst case scenario, you end up resubscribing and paying for the services you use.

[@andrewkisner15]

You are the man George!!! Dave needs to give you a raise. You are worth it.

[@jennthezumbanator5242]

Hey hey hey…I loved that cake show 😂😂😂

[@austinayala]

Honestly, this channel is going to blow up!! I’m all for it though. Let’s go, George!

[@Sisonpyh]

You're on fire with these videos bro

[@Allaiya.]

I haven’t spent more than $10/m in years. I paid upfront for the year for HBO when they had a deal & it ended up being like $5.50/month when you calculate it out. My sis has Netflix. My parents have Paramount +. We share accounts. Before I had Hulu when they had their Black Friday deal of $2/m

[@dynamicphotography_]

Good content. I can tell your Channel is about to take off. Seen you over with Dave. Subbed.

[@Spladoinkal]

So my wife and I are binge watchers when we get into something. It works out for us because we pick a show to watch, find out what platform it's on and sub to ONLY that platform until we finish that show, then unsubscribe and move to whichever platform our next show is on. Bonus points though if it's Amazon Prime Video because we use prime for shipping for our businesses so that's the ONE service we stay subbed to.

[@alexacox2206]

My husband and I are in the 15% that doesn’t pay for streaming services. We’re weird. 🤣

[@michaelaweatherman7682]

Is that because you use someone else's password? 😂

[@alexacox2206]

@@michaelaweatherman7682 Nope! We’d just use free streaming services like Tubi for us and RightNowMedia or pbs kids for our kids.

[@bookwormbon482]

8:14 with free trials, you can cancel them immediately and still access the service until the end of the trial period. Then you don't have to remember to cancel. Often its worded in a way that makes it appear you will lose access if you cancel the trial, but then you don't

[@DREWTampa1]

I love these videos on stuff you’re interested in and want to talk about! Keep it up! 100k subs soon!

[@theydontknowmeson007]

This is where nerds like me with home servers are awesome 😎

[@Smedley-d2l]

Just done myself the biggest favour ever and free'd myself of all streaming services. Best decision of my life.

[@imperfectxennial3008]

Pause at 2:30. What can I do about it? I canceled every streaming service. I started collecting Blu-Rays again. At this point the trash coming out of Hollywood is so bad I won’t give them the time of day now, except to buy older movies and tv shows.

[@scarpfish]

"How have the other 15% survived?" Well, as a member of that 15%, I find engaging hobbies that don't involve me passively watching something on a screen and getting fat. There is nothing on television, cable, streaming service, etc worth paying a subscription fee for.

[@B.Ch3rry]

I’m trappin’ of the bandwidth heavy right now!!! 🏴‍☠️

[@arock1988]

I only pay for discovery+ $5.59 for that sweet sweet TLC, HGTV and Food network content. Koodo had an interesting thing to tack on and stack some streaming with that service, but so far I've stuck with d+. I've had Hayu before -- and once I was done with the content I unsubscribed. It sits on my googledoc spread as one of my monthly payments so I can't forget about it.

[@crissydv1]

The editing clips are A1 I’m dying over here 😂😂

[@jacquelinefiander2588]

You got the IT factor George love it from Canada:)

[@philsowers]

I love supporting creators & and finding everything ondemand, but I just cut them ALL off and realized it was $150 a month! I still get everything for the most part, albeit a litte later. I'm ok with that delayed gratification. So keep an eye out for those apps, streaming services, youtube membership join buttons, patreons and the like.

[@melanierhine593]

I love the little funny clips you put in, so funny! 😂

[@ladyjoyarcher1187]

Were old fashioned at my house. We buy dvds for $1 when theyre no longer new at red-box,& then rewatch our collection that we know we like& is clean. Occasionally my husband & i will date night in & rent for $3 off you tube videos to see if we like something. This avoids all streaming fees& helps us only spend $10 a yr to rent movies; saving more $ than our coworkers towards our HYSA

[@MrBrewman95]

Just use one service at a time a month. It takes you month to watch whatever show on whichever service anyway.

[@Matt_in_TEXAS]

Great Job George Kamel with a K! We cut the cord back in 2020 and haven't really missed it- I'm a big Astros fan and just listen to them on the radio (or app on my phone) and watch the highlights about a hour after the game on KZbin. The only service we subscribe to is Disney+ because Star Wars baby! Great topic- Keep up the Awesome work!

[@nils704]

😅😅😅😅 😂😂😂😂 the hits keep coming!! But all jokes aside, George is spot on.

[@jonsmith9728]

I don't use any streaming, just barely have enough time for a few youtube/rumble vids.... my monthly subscription is the gym membership, i'm not one for being a couch potatoe..... (you should do a segment on payday loans, i live in chicago and areas with currency exchanges and payday/title loans have increased lately even into middle class areas, kinda scary)

I just share login information with friends and family. I only pay for Prime but I have the ability to watch HBO, Peacock, Paramount+, Showtime, Disney+, and Hulu. The only ones i'm missing are Netflix and Apple+, I think.

I know the rules with credit cards, but my American Express card gives me a $7 dollar credit on the Hulu+ package. I get Hulu ESPN+ and Disney+ for 12.99 which is before my $7 credit. Only streaming service I pay for.

[@stlguy1976]

Most of society now does not actually pay outright for their streaming services. They piggy back off their friends/family accounts/

[@patrickflorence4695]

Bottom line: HULU is for my ABC & FOX; PEACOCK is for my NBC; PARAMOUNT+ is for CBS. All for my primetime shows I can watch the next day because I work 2nd shift. And also, MAX for such shows as White Lotus and SUCCESSION. 📺

You know you were addicted to Kiefer Sutherland in the early 2000's when you **EASILY** recognize that 24 clock tick in the countdown timer.

[@gamequestdq1]

...aaaaaaand Netflix cancelled. Didn't even shed a tear. Disney+ is likely next, we just don't watch enough to warrant the cost. And maybe a small message is sent with enough of us following suit.

[@Spladoinkal]

If you're a bing watcher consider doing this: When you find out about a good show you wanna watch, sub to THAT service and ONLY that one until you finish the show then move onto the next. For instance, I just finished the Mandalorian season so I'm about to unsub from disney till the next star wars show season comes out (you can wait till the season finishes and watch it quickly in one go).

[@maddywadsworth4312]

We cancelled all TV services and only keep the Disney+ and Hulu combo for $16.23 monthly and watch the ads. We love the Star Wars content on there. I won’t pay for anything else!

[@LiefLayer]

I just subscribe 1 month and cancel it as soon as I paid (so I don't forget) only if I use that service that month. You cannot watch more than one show at a time anyway so there is no reason to subscribe to multiple services. Also I try to pause streaming for 1-2 months each year... I love playing videogames so it's not like there is nothing else to do.

[@emoney1231]

Rather than bundling, I'd suggest only subscribing to one at a time. Watch all the shows you want on that service, then pick a different one 6 months down the road and keep cycling through them.

Just funny reading all the comments here talking about “I don’t do streaming, I pick up DVDs” lol is that supposed to be a flex??

[@sorvoja]

If you treat your time like a precious resource, just as you do with your money, DVDs can be a fantastic choice. Streaming services often lure you into endless hours of binge-watching. However, by selecting 3-5 top-quality DVDs from the library each month, you can have a clear idea of the time you'll spend on entertainment. Plus, libraries typically offer these services free of charge, making it both an engaging and cost-effective option.

I use the free services of streaming, true, it might not be as good as payed streaming service, but there are a lot of free good content (with ads), I have a Roku stick, and I love it. They even have originals already (even though I haven't seen any of it). Besides the content from Roku I have other apps with free streaming, like Pluto, Tubi, Crackle, Plex, Angel Studio, etc. Among those you can find a lot of good movies, programs and series. Again, is not the same premium experience, but is free and it's good, there is a lot of content.

It really is Disney's fault. Too greedy to want more money. They should have been happy with Netflix paying licensing fees to make my life simpler.

[@Spladoinkal]

Yes but what are they consequences for them? They're making more money overall this way so they have no reason to change back. We already know that Disney does NOT have a bleeding heart or follow any kind of ethics other than what's in their own heads.

6:30 "Just say no." Or how about cable gives us even more good reasons to say yes. If the people behind cable can make the price more worth it, maybe the big price would help animators at least a little bit. Seriously, guys, start fighting for it. Don't let it die out.
