Why big tech companies suck right now. Looking at you Amazon, Netflix, Uber, Spotify, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube... (sponsor was here)

Nah. Netflix used to be a reasonable price and a very decent alternative to the rip off prices of cable and satellite TV.

Then of course every other media company wanted to charge the same price each time splitting off shows that used to be on Netflix.

It's reached the point that it would cost the same ripoff prices to get all the services needed for most people to watch what they'd like to watch.

This is just too much to pay per household per month for entertainment.

Bring back one service that provides all the TV (not even movies) for less than 30usd/25 gbp and I'm there. But I'm not subscribing to them all. It's ridiculous.
