God, it's cable TV packages all over again. Streaming was supposed to destroy this problem, not become it!

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

The problem with cable TV was that I still can't watch what I want, when I want. With streaming, I can. But the more services there are with exclusives, the more apps I need to get the content I want.

If I can pick the content I want at any streaming service, then the choice becomes about which streaming service I want, not what content I want. I hate juggling apps, and I'd rather pay a bit extra on one app to get more content than continually switch apps.
