      The last time I watched the BBC, about 10 years ago, I counted 7 adverts between the news and match of the day.

      Every single one of them advertising BBC stuff. Advert Advert Advert Advert Advert Advert Advert.

      There is no way I’m going to pay the license fee AND be inundated with ads AND watch repeats of shit shows all day.

      “Bosses said the increase had been driven by a rise in subscriber numbers….”

      Well I’ll be damned. I thought it was because of the rise in subscription cancellations.

      I wouldn’t mind paying for BBC One and maybe BBC Two, but all the other junk, the nonsense radio channels and ridiculously overpaid presenters? No thank you. Especially not when the letters they send are so aggressive, it’s disgusting.

      The American domination of UK media grows ever closer.

      Why is this talking like you’re only supposed to pay for BBC?

      The utter bullshit rules of “having” to pay if you watch ANY live TV, on any channel, is utterly insane.

      I remember when Netflix clamped down on password sharing and all of Reddit was like im going to cancel now

      Never happened it seemed. Unsurprisingly

      I won’t pay a licence fee when the only valuable thing that results is radio 4. Aside from that it’s all just hacks like Kuenssberg platforming demagogues, and bosses who seem hellbent on slowing the flow of coverage of genocide.

      The sooner the licence fee is abolished the matter. How sending threatening letters once a month to people without a licence to bully them into paying it whether they watch TV or not should be illegal.

      Is there any reason why the bbc can’t just move to an ad supported streaming service already? It’s literally a no brainier

    10. I cancelled Netflix when they decided to introduce ads and increase fees. It’s enshitification and I won’t be a part of it.

      Sadly it seems the UK public as a whole is happy to pay more for less.

      Funny how everyone doesn’t want to pay for the TV licence, but is happy to pay for Netflix.

      Which is kinda crazy at £19/pm meanwhile BBC have effectively lost 25% of their funding from 10 years ago, and keep cutting content, and needing to partner with Neftlix/Disney to even make Doctor Who….

      I stg the streaming sites you can sail the high seas with are so good now. What is anyone doing paying for anything?

      They even have skip functions, auto play, reccomendations.

      I had my latest threatening letter from Crapita the other day telling them I needed to update them on my TV-watching habits, because I’ve not had a TV licence for years. They’re genuinely horrible. Aggressive, rude, nasty. It makes me never want to have a TV licence again. This isn’t so much to do with the BBC, but rather the awful company they choose to outsource their licensing to.

      I don’t subscribe to Netflix, or any other streaming service either. There are shows I enjoy from a range of production companies, but they’re all with different services. I don’t watch a huge amount of TV and it’s not cost effective to subscribe to them all, so what are you supposed to do?

      I’m not suggesting using naughty websites, but…

      I just refuse to pay for a TV license when 40% of the screentime is advertisements.

      That’s just not worth it.

      (Bar BBC)

      It’s simple.

      Scrap the licence.
      Create a subscription plan.
      Release a banging new series of sherlock.
      Profit.

    17. A TV licence is £14.50 and I barely if ever watch BBC. Netflix (for me) costs less than £10 and it has a bottomless pit of content. I’m sorry but forcing me to pay that much for BBC, which still also advertises, just doesn’t work brother. Either lock BBC behind a pay-wall or be transparent with it being taxpayer funded. Making me pay £14.50 a month just for watching TV is just hostile.
