Privacy.com saved me again. I created a Brilliant account to see what all the ad reads were about and used a Privacy virtual debit card to access the premium mode under a free trial. Eventually, I decided to close my account within the free trial window and disabled my Privacy card. Later, I found out they tried to charge me $129.50 anyway after I cancelled and closed my Brilliant account, but Privacy didn’t let the transaction go through.

If there's a dry spell of creativity in the film industry, perhaps it's best to consider other forms of entertainment. There's books, audiobooks, video games, and spending more time with family and friends. Heck, take the time to go out more. Learn a new skill. Don't compromise your standards in sync with Hollywood's creative decline. You don't HAVE to keep consuming as much of a single form of entertainment as always.
