    Why do you need to subscribe to 10 different streaming services? I always thought this was such a dumb take.

      Because the days where if Netflix or Amazon didn’t have it, it didn’t exist are over. Once the content owners saw how much money there was to be made, they let the streaming licenses expire and built their own platforms instead so they could potentially grab a bigger piece of the pie.

        But do you really need to have immediate access to everything that exists at all times? I only signup for Netflix when I want to watch a certain show, then stop my membership.

      I think some do it because a lot of the content they want to watch is spread out

        Maybe it is, but I’ve seen people argue about this before… Same like people that used to hate on apple releasing a new phone every year.
