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…
Eventually you’ll reach the point where instead of checking Netflix for X and settling for Y locally, you’ll just download X and watch it.
This. I feel like watching Das Boot. Okay, it streams on Fubo. Maybe I’ll watch K-19. No, that one is on Peacock. The Hunt for Red October? No, it’s on HBO Max.
Do they really expect me to subscribe to all those different services when I could just put it into Radarr and have it a few minutes later?
