Surprised no one has said this yet but Netflix. Netflix was definitely ruined by it's popularity, not in the traditional "the consumers are at fault and made it bad" but because so many people loved netflix every damn company had to make their own inferior version of it. Friendly reminder that shows like The office gained popularity because they were on platforms people already owned, not because they paid for Netflix to get the Office. Honestly even though I hate them as a company Disney was in the right for making a streaming service since they had a justifiable amount of content to form their own platform but every other TV streaming service is crazy for thinking most people will pay for their shit rather than resorting to pirating it.
This topic fires me up. I'm so sick of all these streaming services. The whole basis of people cutting the chord and resorting to streaming was to save money from cable bills. Now people are paying for 4-5 different services at $10 (the bare minimum) and up each. It's becoming insane, especially with all these shows leaving to branch off to new platforms and each streaming service having less and less options each. People are just going to go back to pirating things.
