I would love to cancel it. I almost never watch it and there's nothing I do watch that I couldn't live without. Unfortunately, my mom does watch it constantly, and she'd just sign up for her own account if I got rid of mine, so in the interest of keeping her bills down, I'm kind of stuck. At least I got her to dump Hulu's outrageously overpriced live tv option, so I got that going for me.
