   If you live in the DMV, you can get a free DC library card. You then get free access to Kanopy - a good streaming service with no ads. That could scratch the streaming itch without having to pay for these expensive services.

      Lots of libraries offer Kanopy (though it seems like a lot of them have dropped it; I think it's actually pretty expensive for them to offer).

      The Kanopy model is fascinating. Library members get free views but there are limits as the library has to pay for those views. Our county library system has a Kanopy subscription at each library and county residents are eligible to become members at every location. Kanopy supports adding multiple library cards, so you can boost your limit.

      > If you live in the DMV

      I've been to the DMV and experienced hours long waits, and I thought I might never leave, but I didn't know living at the DMV was a big enough group to warrant a shout out.
