Once upon a time there was Netflix, and it cost $8 per month to watch pretty much any movie ever made instantly. It made sense. Everybody had Netflix and life was good.
Then there was Hulu, and it seemed weird at first to have two streaming services. But basic Hulu was free and mostly streamed TV shows so it kind of made sense. Soon they charged a small fee for the convenience of streaming TV shows without ads, which also made sense.
Life was very good. People forgot that piracy even existed.
Then a few years later they added about 200 other streaming services, each one costing more than the last, and each stripping away “exclusive” content from the other services, and now there are UNSKIPPABLE COMMERCIALS and the fucking planet is on fire
