I spent the holidays overseas, with no access to my regular paid subscription services, and to be honest, I didn’t feel like I missed them all that much. Sure, it was nice to come home and catch up on my favorite shows, but it got me thinking about how much time and money I spend on streaming TV and how often I experience “burnout” from having too much content at my fingertips.
I wasn’t prepared to stop streaming TV entirely — that would be unthinkable — but I wanted to reach a happy medium that would allow me to dedicate more time to hobbies and interests and save some cash on the side. The answer lay in my trusty Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, which I purchased for the bargain price of just $29.99, as it would give me access to a range of high-quality free apps without paying for subscriptions.
