They don't talk about quality. Ultimately it's extremely hard to create a quality show or movie. 90%+ of what these services produce is not worth watching. It's ok but do you really want to spend your time watching it? It's too hard to sort out the gems. Large quantities of stuff is not a plus in anyone's life. Streaming has broken the movie business model. What used to be a regular night out experience or a looking forward experience has turned into a lonely one person commonly sad experience.

>They don't talk about quality. Ultimately it's extremely hard to create a quality show or movie. There's no quality problem that I can see. There are a good number of excellent TV shows lately. Yes, it's extremely hard to create quality show or movie, but this is nothing new. It's always been that way. >90%+ of what these services produce is not worth watching. Right; how is this new? It's always been this way, ever since the dawn of television or movies. 90% is generous; the normal law is that 95% of everything is crap. >It's too hard to sort out the gems. No, it's not. It's easier than ever before. Now instead of having to ask your coworkers what to watch in the evening, you can read about it on the internet, and you can watch it whenever's convenient for you, instead of 7PM on Wednesdays. The problem with streaming is that it's become too fragmented. Now, if there's 3 shows you really want to watch, they're all spread across 3 different streaming services, so you need 3 subscriptions, just to watch one show on each. And each show only lasts for 10 episodes for a year. Back in the old days, you just tuned your TV (or later, set your DVR) for channel 13 at the correct time-slot, and you got one episode per week, for 26 weeks. (Then the other 26 weeks, you could watch reruns.)
