Maybe they can consider redesigning their monetization strategy, and figuring out the endless licensing issues, so people actually have something to watch, for the money they spend. It's either that, or piracy

After Netflix started offering streaming, I stopped considering piracy as a worthwhile option. Now, it's actually easier to pirate whatever the fuck you want to watch than figure out what streaming service it's on, and which of your friends has the account you're all sharing.

If you frequently watch this kind of stuff, your options are to either shuffle subs between 8 different platforms, or just get what you want from alternate sources. It's always a service issue

Not even that for me; most of the random things I want to add to my "to watch" list aren't even on a streaming service

[–] dinckelman@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah... that was similar to my experience too. When I first got a Netflix sub, i was like okay, let's see this movie then. Oh... not there. Next one then. Also not there. Maybe the other show? Not there either, but on Hulu. Except the paid plain on Hulu served me 16 unskippable ads, each over a minute long, all within the length of a 24 minute tv show episode. Immediately removed both subscriptions

Yeah, "the internet doesn't forget" is rather uddated. The internet only remembers tactics to extract money. If there is no money, you'll get no service mist of the time.
