    I would laugh if it wasn’t so bad that it makes you wanna cry. At least I’m lucky since this is the american perspective where all those services exist. Here in europe opening 90% of those streaming services webpages just says that the service is not available in my region. Some of them with new branding or different branding are not even available like max which is still hbo max here which changed recently enough.

    I only know a few of the services names because I spent a few hours today before on wiki pages searching for legal tv apps and came across all the insanity. I only knew common names like hulu and roku which are things that don’t work here anyway. Ended up installing pluto tv again to experiment but then had to fight turning on vpn properly to counties where it actually is available. And all the countries have different channels and contents anyway.

    It’s all insanity and horrible and sailing the high seas is honestly the only true no pain experience.

    Stopped using netflix when they went after the accounts sharing. Only have hbo max and prime apps installed because my ISP bundled the subscriptions. But I never open them to watch anything anyway. Totally useless services.

      Yep it’s hilarious that because all the streaming services trying to wall off their own content and region-lock it means that the illegal way is the only reasonable means to access the shows even if you would be willing to spend some money to see it.

      Each one comes with predatory practices trying to lock you into long term costs, some have “ad-supported” plans, most have stupid space-wasting apps, and every single one has some onerous EULA they make you agree to.
