Are you tired of managing multiple subscriptions for streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Disney+? With the rise of so many streaming platforms, it can be difficult to keep track of which ones you’re subscribed to and how much you’re spending each month.Wouldn’t be better to have all in one place? wouldn’t be better to watch always in full resolution? wouldn’t be better to have it locally so you don’t rely on an internet connection?
there was drop for year. A platform where you watch your fav shows, that remembers where you stopped watching, auto loading next episode, skip into, persistent subtitles and dub options.All of those were winning them business from people who have money but no time.But now if a friend recommends a show or movie to watch. In time it takes to figure out where can I watch it, subscribing etc. I could be already watching it from torrents.I dont have to mentaly juggle subscribing and unsubscr
Yup, it's increasingly becoming the solution.I have memberships to a handful of streaming services and yet somehow everything I've looked up to watch over the last month is not available on any of those services. Some of them are really old too; like the movie "Con Air" for example, but the only place I could find it was Amazon and it was only available to rent/buy.Relatively speaking, this almost feels worse than the cable and video rental offerings we had two dec
Same... i have Netflix and HBO (and my local countries tv service) but recently i get so annoyed by searching for "where i can find a movie" and then not finding it, that i don't even look anymore, i just go straight to torrenting which is a 99% success rate.Also the Netflix auto-play-previews thing annoys me, trying to constantly force me to keep consuming.I'll probably cancel both soon.
Netflix was great but it got more crowded due to everyone wanting a piece of the cake. Now there are few shows or bunch of movies interesting to me that are either distributed evenly on multiple services or not available at my location at all. I’d be okay to pay as I go if there was at least one central way to access all content without ads and on demand but no one seems to be interested in that.
why do you think everyone wants to watch the same things? what's the downside of having a big library? why should my subscription fee pay for the license fees of stuff that doesn't interest me? (just like Spotify, although their library is impressive).
This guy is missing out on the present waiting for a future where Netflix has all content availaible to stream for 9.99$ a month.As far as I know, you can stream much more content from say Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, Crackle, etc. Just need to be willing to pay. You can also buy plastic discs from a lot of places. And if you don't want to pay, you can torrent the world.So I don't really understand what's his complaints about? He preferred it when Netflix was a mail rental c
I was recently rewatching a popular show from the 00's on either Netflix or prime, I was 1/2 through the show when one day I woke up to find it completely gone from all services i am member of...Guess what, it does not just disappear from my Plex/Emby server...Online stream services was suppose to resolve the CableTV problem of paying for 1000 channels to watch the 5 you want.Now Every network, every media company, every one is creating their own streaming service with a
Streaming yes. So get a DVD subscription. Though, sadly, they’re allowing their back catalog to degrade significantly.
Compared to other streaming services, not buying physical media.
