I’m kinda surprised that the article only mentioned convenience and completely skipped rising costs, ad injection, crackdowns on password sharing, and more fees.

The subscriptions cost a shitload more, even if you’re a paid subscriber you still get ads, you have to pay more fees to get rid of ads or watch a program that is either new or the service has decided to charge for, and you can’t share password with anyone outside your household.

It’s not a convenience problem, it’s a money problem.

Eh, it's also a convenience problem. If I want to watch a specific movie, good luck figuring out what streaming service it's on. It's so nice to be able to just watch what I want without that hassle.

Fair enough. I was reaching back to Netflix’s early days where you could get DVD’s of most anything decent even if you couldn’t stream it.

Just about everything's on Fmoviesz dot to. if what i want isn't on the two platforms i'm currently coughing up for, it'll be on there!
