Let’s add more: “is it on HBO?”, “is it on CBS all access?”, “is it on showtime?”, “is it on Stars?”
Not to mention some local options where I live: “is it on dplay? Sumo?”
You may say that’s ridiculous, but apart from Sumo I think each of those services has had exclusive rights for something I would like to watch.
How many services do these people realistically expect me to check, not to mention pay for?
It’s a fucking mess, and piracy is clearly more convenient at this point.

- LegitShady 7y agothat doesn't solve the fragmentation subscription problem, it just makes it easier to check which subscription service has content. the point here is that there are too many subscriptions. You're not solving that.
- dewey 7y agoI was referring to making the part “How many services do these people realistically expect me to check” easier. Fully agree on the fragmentation issue.
