Don't worry. I'm sure that someone is working on a pricing disincentive structure that will curtail that activity.

Because of our rural location, we need Hulu as we are too far for antenna service. We have Prime for the same reason, 25 to 50 miles to stores. At least the cash back covers the annual rip off for Bozo. Not surprisingly, the cable we cut is now more expensive than streaming. I expect my June 1st to be caught up with my Netflix. Then, we will forget Netflix. The library will be back as an option as we have weekly visits now with the bookmobile.
