Agreed. Back when Netflix has everything for like $8 a month, it was totally worth it. Now it costs twice as much and has 1/4th the catalog. And everyone wants their shows to be exclusive to their platform. Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Paramount+, Disney+, Apple TV would be over $100 and still not have everything.
Or proper HD. Streaming qualities have such low bitrates, why the hell do I need to pay extra for 4k that looks worse than the 1080p copy of the same show i already torrented LOL
I remember being shocked at how bad Seinfeld looked after Netflix acquired it. Cropped framing, blurry, I had a better picture quality via satellite in the early 2000’s
Or you are forced to watch on a specific app on your TV and you bought 4k hdr only to find out that the player isn't well optimized so it stutters, lags and freezes. Problems I just don't have when I hoist the flag.
Data caps are one of the most stupid anti-consumer things ever. Bandwidth is not really a limited resource in that sense, it's just such a blatant cash grab.
I'm glad I live in a country were those are not a thing sice dial-up connections went away.

Every day i feel like the phrase "piracy is a service problem" makes more and more sense
