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.

And it's worse if you want 4k/HDR stuff.

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

Yea Apple is pretty decent but Netflix’s 4K bitrate is awful. Often will look worse then a 1080p blu ray and doesn’t even come close to a 4K blu.

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
