I cancelled my Peacock subscription the day Curious George got taken off. It was the only thing my daughter watched.

I went to best buy, bought their Sony blu-ray player and a 128GB USB stick, went to Walmart and raided their $5 DVD bin, downloaded a bunch of old children's content from archive.org onto the jump drive, put it in the blu-ray player, and now my children have more quality content than they could ever want to watch. I recommend any parent do this instead of paying for streaming, the experience is 1,000x better.

No more streaming subscriptions. I'm done with the corporate greed.
