I think people like you and me who don't like the most stupid shit on the streaming services are not getting value for money. Maybe it's great for people who love whatever comes up there, but Im having a hard time finding something I actually want to watch too.
This hits home. 10 years ago, Netflix was great! It had this huge catalog, so you could easily find something to watch.
Then, bit by bit, they started losing shows. I'd start hearing from friends "Hey, you should check xyz out" -- not available for streaming.
By time I dropped my subscription in 2019, there wasn't much I was still interested in. I think the last show I had watched was The Crown, and there was a long delay between seasons on that one, IIRC.
