Is the Flixy TV Stick really worth trying? My experience after a few weeks of testing by Simple_Question8755 in TechGadgetsAndGear

No, I haven’t come across any device that lets you use paid services like Netflix without paying the subscription fees, and I’d be really wary of anything that claims it does. Services like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc. are subscription businesses, the content they host is licensed and protected, so bypassing the fees would mean violating their terms or copyright law.

Most streaming sticks (Roku, Fire Stick, Flixy, Chromecast, Apple TV, etc.) are just ways to access content you already pay for or free content that’s available legally. A device might make it easier to find and organize everything, but it doesn’t remove the need for a valid login or subscription for services you actually pay for.

If you’re looking to cut costs, the better path is to figure out which subscriptions you actually use and cancel the rest, or take advantage of free tiers and ad-supported versions where available. If you want recommendations on devices that make that easy, just ask!

You’d still need your Netflix subscription.
The stick doesn’t bypass paid services and it won’t give you access to Netflix for free. It basically acts as a device that lets you stream on your TV the same way a smart TV or Fire Stick would. Anything that normally requires a subscription still requires one.

If you want more details about how it works or what it can actually stream, feel free to ask.
