The obvious solution seems like some kind of service which tracks all of the shows you watch and are interested in, and changes what service you subscribe to every month.
If there is a new season/show coming out on one service that you are interested in your next subscription will be that service, otherwise it is some kind of random/RR and you get a notification of which app to use this month.
All the shows are available to watch when you want, why bother to have all the subs always?
- thenewnewguy 7y agoBecause the argument for streaming services is _convenience_. And that's especially true when we're comparing them to piracy. Having to switch streaming apps/programs every month is not convenient. Having to wait up to a month to change services if I learn about a new show I like is not convenient. Having to pay for multiple streaming services if I happen to like content by multiple producers is not convenient (or cheap). The streaming industry honestly seems like a "prisoner's dilemma" like scenario. Each streaming company (presumably) benefits over their competitors by having exclusives and limiting where certain shows can be watched. But the streaming market as a whole is held back by this.
