I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.
“I wanna watch X, let’s see if Netflix has it…”

“Hmm… Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I’m just gonna say I’ll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let’s still confirm that Netflix doesn’t have X…”
Next thing you know, I’m watching Y off my hard drive.
Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point…
The quality is often terrible too. I’ve literally been watching Netflix and the pixellation/stuttering has been so bad that I’ve shut off the film, spent 2 minutes downloading it, then just carried on watching the downloaded version from where I left off.
So I’m not the only one! Can’t remember when this was since Netflix was cancelled a while ago, but back then it wasn’t even possible to select the quality or get the true quality. 1080p was actually streaming 720p. IMO, that should be worthy of a fine, but ain’t nobody got the time. Much quicker to just find it elsewhere.
