It’s cable TV all over again and it annoys me a lot. My process for watching something right now:
1. Use the AppleTV because no platform streams 1080p+ on Linux
2. Check Netflix
3. Check Primevideo
4. Check HBO (but not available on the AppleTV in my region)
5. Check if I can buy it from iTunes or something
6. Yes, but not in my region
7. Forget all of the above and go to a private tracker and chuck it on Plex.

- avian 7y agoIf you're going for copyright infringement, isn't it then simpler and cheaper to just jump straight to step 7?
- CamelCaseName 7y agoAbsolutely. Which comes back to the core offering of all these services: Discovery. Streaming services should be able to recommend things to me that I genuinely want to watch. Yet, I usually have to dig through their catalog (or use the search function if I already know) to find something worth watching. Otherwise, there really is little value over private trackers for those who don't care about infringement.
