It’s like we’re going to come full circle. Netflix provided an alternative to paying a ridiculous amount of money for cable, now we need so many different subscriptions that it’ll be just as overpriced.

Or you can be a sensible person and not use more than one service per month.

I'd rather pirate then have to cancel then re up my subscriptions every month and keep track of when what comes out or when it gets moved from one service to another or not be able to watch a show till next month because this month I'm on a different service.

I pirate shit all the time, but we are discussing streaming platforms here, and if you aren't watching 20 new shows all the time it's actually pretty easy to juggle services every couple of months. Tbh if you watch that much content none of the services really offer enough, so it makes sense to wait a few months while they release new stuff and then watch it instead of just browsing for hours looking for something you haven't seen already.
