I have always been a user of Netflix/Prime & others but everything now just feels like complete saturation and so overcomplicated
I’ve just spent the better part of 45+ minutes trying to watch The Hills (don’t judge, or do I don’t care, I’m on mat leave and tired AF and wanted something nostalgic and easy to watch), and having googled which platform to watch it on, Paramount Plus came up as a place to watch it. So I sign up only to find it’s not there. It also suggested Prime, but on Prime you have to buy it still, same with Apple TV.
It’s on Sky Go. I am a Sky customer but Sky Go can only be accessed on a laptop/phone/ipad and not a TV, and so there’s nowhere on Sky TV to watch it (?!?!)
In the end I resorted to asking ChatGPT if it had any other ideas and it recommended Pluto. Never heard of it before but it’s free and it has what I want, so here we are.
It can’t be just me who finds stuff like this infuriating… like we already pay for so many streaming services and you’re telling me I have to pay again because this specific thing is behind another paywall? When will it end
