I didn't say click random, the point is that there is a ton of content but most people only watch the 0.1% that they pump all the marketing budget into but there are tons of great award winning critically acclaimed shows and movies that people don't bother with, that they would enjoy. I use justwatch.com to filter content.
Sure, it would be great to have access to everything all the time, all I'm saying is that if you have a small amount of discipline and your life isn't crushed by fomo then subscribing to one at a time is sufficient while priced reasonably.
Any one of these streaming services has enough content to kill a victorian-era child.
I've never been subscribed to three at once and have never felt there wasn't enough options for watchably good media. I can't speak for you but I think a lot of people get caught up in the trending shows and miss out on the back catalogs.
I think streaming is very affordable but only if you have the discipline to be patient about the most popular show this month not being available to you until later when you switch services.
Movies have been very expensive in the short term period after theatrical release, that’s why blockbuster would charge $60 if you lost the tape, it’s how much they sold to rental stores for before wide release. This higher price is absurd to me but to the studios it’s a premium for all the hype they built up, the price will come down after a few months. They are still working out the new models and testing the waters to see what floats.
And we’ll come up with a name that merges climate and technology, let’s call it skynet.
