There is considerable mental overhead involved in trying to remember where your choice is hosted, cycling through redundant apps and menu pages, waiting through load times, repeatedly entering the same search terms without a proper keyboard, getting blasted with different promotions from each service, etc. It's a stupid and frustrating experience and every time it happens is a reminder that my interests as a customer rank dead last after all of these companies slice and dice their cultural fiefdoms into separate packages to squeeze a little extra revenue. Calling it a few finger budges is reductive, it's an insulting and tiresome rigmarole of hoops that I have to jump through just because they wanted to squeeze some more money.
