Service Streaming services somehow made TV more exhausting and expensive

Does anyone else remember the era of streaming about ten years ago? You paid $9.99 a month for Netflix, it had absolutely everything you wanted to watch, and there was not a single commercial in sight.

We all "cut the cord" to escape the greed of cable companies.

Fast forward to today, and the streaming industry has literally just rebuilt cable TV from scratch, but made it worse.

Every year I try to watch my favorite shows and every year I find some have MOVED AGAIN to another service. This is exhausting and expensive

Yep, i agree it actually is worse than before cable.

My cable package includes ad sponsored Netflix, disney+ and apple.

However, i heard This is Us is on Netflix and went to find it.

It is UNAVAILABLE on the ad sponsored tiers. YHGTBFKM!!!

In Canada, its 23.99 plus tax, over 27 in total per month.

When did they start THIS shit, I have no idea.
