And present in Netflix as well at lower tier subscriptions.

It’s not so bad to have one subscription service that is like $15-20/month, or even less with ads.

Where it really adds up is having to pay for all of them, like Disney+ and Paramount+, and that is also (relatively) new. One of the reasons I got Netflix in the first place was to watch Star Trek shows… but now those are elsewhere, as too is most everything else, and I’m wondering what all I am getting from Netflix anymore.

Here’s my list:

(1) fantastic streaming tech, I almost never have buffering issues these days (possibly significantly lower resolution but it switches seamlessly)

(2) ability to download an episode to watch offline, e.g. at a gym and it even auto-advances to download the next one in a series.

(3) Netflix produced content, except this tends to be crappy content (not always, but… not worth the pricetag definitely, for me)

(4) Anything that Netflix is successfully able to license from other places, which unfortunately tends to rotate and sometimes doesn’t even get whole entire series (like you’ll get up to a certain season and then no more).

It is licensing that ruined television for everyone, not Netflix, but still… am I getting my value? We’ll see as time goes on.
