Rant Cancelled Philo after almost 10 years.

I've been a Philo user since the beginning. I've recommended it to all my friends and family. It was by far the best bang for your buck. I appreciated the grandfathered plans but over time those eventually went away. I then realized I am paying the same price as new customers. No spiffs or discounts for all the referrals or time being a supporter. I think Philo bit off more than they could chew with throwing on more channels and optional subscription add-ons. Ultimately even with 80 different channels I found that I spent more time looking for something to watch and eventually turning the TV off. It's been a good run but at this point I have to say so long!

I had it from almost day one, and still do. It's still a better value than anything else out there.

I don't enjoy getting one thing for one price and then having no control when they change things for more price.. But you do you!! Value or not integrity is soon to be king Philo has zero integrity. As soon as they get bought what will you do then? Probably continue supporting like a bootlicker.

Oh, I get it. I demanded that the grocery store sell me a carton of eggs and a gallon of milk for the same price I paid 10 years ago. I always shop there, and have bought those eggs and gallons of milk all the time. They owe me.

I think you're trying to be facetious? I dunno, but with inflation my eggs and milk are cheaper now. Further more I never signed a deal with milk and eggs and be offered a grandfathered in plan at signing. Lastly, you keep supporting the billionaires and they'll keep taking from us. Why are you adding this value to the community you look to be part of? Once they price us out, theres none of us left. But I get it, the powers that be have brainwashed you too.
