When the product is better (easier, cheaper, higher quality) it's bound to happen.
When Netflix streaming (and Spotify, Steam) became popular it made consuming your favourite content easy, cheap and decent quality.
Now, with so many competing platforms, watching your favourite shows is more expensive and more difficult (having to have loads of accounts and remember which show is where, etc). Piracy will bloom.
- jkoudys 7y agoAs a Canadian, it's definitely hte "remember which show is where" part that has me really disliking where streaming has gone in the past year. Time was I'd open Netflix and my shows were there. Now I have Netflix, Prime, and Crave, and sometimes I'll have the same show on two of them, but different seasons. Maybe I'll start using an aggregator that will launch the streaming service that has my show, which seems like what Netflix was originally supposed to be.
