We&#x27;re in Canada and have been cable cutters for almost five years now. We&#x27;ve gotten by on Netflix US and YouTube with the occasional pirated streaming site, but we&#x27;re barely ever using Netflix anymore.<p>We&#x27;ve turned to Kodi. We don&#x27;t want to pirate, but it&#x27;s hard to make a compelling argument against it when you get everything you want even easier than torrents.<p>Add to that the abusive monopolies of Shaw and Bell, who each now have their own streaming subscriptions, services like Hulu and HBO Now either being blocked here or controlled by Shaw or Bell, and the Netlix subscription increasing by 50% in May for a lacklustre catalogue.<p>With all of that, the three movies I go to the cinema to see each month, and my Netflix subscription, it&#x27;s hard not to feel like I pay my share for content. Not a popular opinion, I&#x27;m sure, but I&#x27;m not getting a dozen streaming services subscriptions.
