I used to watch honestly because it was relatively straightforward. You find a show you want to watch and you press play. But it’s gotten to a point where I need to scour the web to find which streaming platform has what I want to watch, then subscribe, then have a talk with the missus to see which subscription I can cancel and then I can watch what I want. What ended up breaking the camels back was when the first seasons of The Rookie were on one streaming platform and the later seasons were on another streaming platform and the only reason they were this way was because of some stupid licensing agreements.

I decided that if I’m going to waste so much time juggling different streaming services while paying for the privilege to juggle them I might as well take that time and money and not spend it on a problem the streaming platforms themselves created. If I can create a better service in my home I’m not going to waste money on a subpar service. The only service I’m paying for is my local IPTV because they’re local and they’re actually providing a good service.
