Thank God there's Kodi

  you will probably get down voted on HN for that comment but I think you bring in a good point. How are they going to compete with the likes of kodi which is something even my parents can manage to use. They keep adding cost while lowering quality in my opinion. Yes they may have added a few things but the user end experience is just bad and I can't see how they can win me back.

    I'm not sure about the ability for your parents to manage to use it... Either you're configuring a media app and a paid service for better streaming options and a vpn on top of that if you're careful. Alternatively you want to go through a handful of torrent options, download to a seedbox, then download to a local file share then watch on TV. I mean, I'm willing to do this for some thing (often because a new release on a streaming service breaks 3 episodes in because of capacity issues), but not everyone is willing to do so. I'd be willing to pay $25/month if they got all the content that is no longer available back and included the disc at a time service back. Right now, you can't even watch most of the entire line of movies they do have (like all the MCU movies, or all the die hards, etc). Most of their original content I don't care for, a lot of the rest isn't great. And the dropped the handful of shows I really fired up the netflix app for.
