There is amazing content on Netflix.
If you rate stuff you like, its recommendations to you get better. |

The thing that drives me nuts about the main three is that they make finding anything you want to watch a pain in the ass. I have to use a third party app just to see what movies are available on each of them. This is primarily because Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon think they no you better than you do and they recommend the shit they think you want to see.

I don't care for the new thumbs-up v thumbs-down rating. I prefer the old 5 star rating. The latter tells me more. So if it's 3 starts I know it's so-so but not too bad. Up or down—very disappointing. |

The original content is improving. It's still filled with no name actors talking about feelings. I did like Mindhunter, Stranger Things, Glow, Love, House of Cards and Ozark so I'll keep pAying them. I like the comedy stand ups for the most part. Most are not my cup of tea but then I discover new comedians I've never heard of but are really funny.

yeah I never understood how it became socially acceptable to steal HBO or download movies for free. How that got to be "not stealing" I'll never know.

Maybe the ultimate endgame is to pay for individual shows. I wouldn't mind that, as I would probably watch less television as a result. Of course, Comcast is charging me a large monthly fee and then also trying to charge me for individual shows. That will not stand.

Tried vue. Didn't like it. Plus it's still basically cable.

It was both. If you read others reviews you could see how many stars they gave.

I pay for HBO, not CBS. If Syfy began streaming I'd probably pay for it. No more kids at home so I will not pay for Disney in the future. Would consider AMC and a few others as well. My choice. Exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately it's still in its infancy and what few options are available are overpriced. Give it a few more years.

In that environment. I have a lot less sympathy for content owners whining about illegal streaming. Almost nobody is going to subscribe to a dozen different providers. So of course they will look for other options.

Say all Disney owned content goes behind its own paywall. I maybe average one Disney film a year. If I can buy it one-off for $2.99 from, say, Amazon, great. I will do that. If it requires its own monthly subscription, I'm not going to shed tears about it being pirated. |
