The thing with even legitimately subscribing to all this is that there are some old shows and movies that aren't even on any of these platforms.

But I'll be nice and say I want to watch something that's on one of these platforms, which one is it on? Say I want to watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld, Rick and Morty, etc. Am I gonna look it up to a site that shows which service it's on? Then I gotta log into the website, but wait, the ip address needs a verification. I could already be watching the movie or show through a grey streaming site or if it's on my Jellyfin server in the fraction of the time.

Lately it seems every movie or show that pops into my head and I feel like watching, is on yet another streaming channel or service I don't have. The content is spread so thin that we barely get any content on any one platform. Netflix out here saying they have new content, as if I give a damn about random Korean soap operas they added.
