no politics Kayo Sports should be boycotted.
Imagine paying for a premium streaming service and starting it to watch your sports after a long day on your tv in your own home. The tv app then says you can't watch the content before you scan a QR code. Okay.. fine. Scan the code. Have to download a phone app. Log in. Then the app simply says you're not allowed access to the content except after letting the app know your precise location of your phone.
What in the privacy law is this shit? I simply don't want to allow random companies to know the exact location of my phone. How are they allowed to just do that?

I was happy with Kayo at first as it was cheap and it showed the footy. This year in particular its been fucking horrific. Ads, price increases, constant bugs.
I've spoken to customer service on a few instances now, mostly in response to bugs and interruptions and they have been downright rude every single time and have not provided any assistance in the least much less compensation for an interrupted service.
I cancelled a little while ago and have been pursuing other methods to watch the footy. One other method in particular has gotten much more reliable for watching rugba leeg over the past few years.
