    Reader comment: “Hi Rob, I’ve enjoyed reading your column over the years. Regarding your recent article: “Netflix is the brazen exception to falling inflation,” I’d like to share our strategy. We use the hotspots on our cell phones instead of cable and stream movies on free apps such as Kanopy, Plex, YouTube and Tubi. The movies on these services tend to be older, not first-run but just as entertaining. We have not paid subscriptions to any streaming services. Our phone plan gives us combined data of 165 GB per month, which is more than ample for our viewing needs.”
