remember the nerd crew video taking the piss out of streaming services? it's still true and honest.

The problem with streaming services is very simple. Netflix like a decade ago (when it was new and you could stream the shit on PS2 of all things, when they really wanted to push it) was really great. It seemingly had everything and it was like the old DVD rental service but instant.
Then every single movie studio decided "we want money" and Netflix/similar wanted to do "original shows" since AMC's pivot from "old rerun channel" to "hey look it's like HBO original shows but included in your cable sub" (since everyone remembers how even shit roach motels offered "free HBO" and how you had to pay more) caused everyone to chase that.
Now fast forward a few years and what's happened is twofold: an endless sea of slop nobody watches with money going down the drain, and endless streaming services. Everyone and their mom has this one streaming service, you can only watch certain movies and originals of varying quality on it, and it's dogshit. Oh and also you need others to watch different libraries. The rise and fall of the scamdemic fucking theaters over really changed things too, from big budget movies going to streaming just to avoid losing money, to theater owners being more pissed than arcade owners were at console ports.
