Surveys show decline in customer satisfaction with what is available to stream.
For me it’s felt like years of excessive mid from Netflix in particular.
There are some good shows out there, but it feels like there’s 2-3 shows worth watching a year at this point, and that’s across all streaming services.
Agreed. Our household rotates through streaming services. We’ll watch the content we want on it in a month or 3, then drop it. In 6 months or a year later we’ll come back if there’s more content. If not, we don’t re-subscribe until there is.
This is the way. Just cancel. You have other things to do.
We sail the high seas in our household! Arrrrr
Just drop them. Save your hard earned dollars for things that earn them in trade. Stop accepting low quality as your normal.
Go get the master list from That sub and call it good. Subtitles can’t be relied on, but it’s mostly fine. Get a library card. Get two.
If you’re really keen on something do the 1 month, watch that something, then drop it.
I can’t say this enough. Stop paying them for shit content while also having ads shoved down your throat. There will be no limit to the enshittification if people don’t stop paying for the pleasure.
Especially if it’s just sitting there and you aren’t enjoying any of it. Save your money that month, at least.
This yet another place that streaming is superior to cable. The same quality decline happened to cable, but your only choice was “cable” or “no cable”, all or nothing. Further, unsubscribing to cable meant fighting through phone queues, returning hardware to physical locations in inconvenient places or shipping the hardware back.
Now, if a streaming service goes to crap, you cancel it in about 30 seconds with a few clicks, and if another streaming services has better content, you sub to that one, also in a few clicks.
