My frustration is that we keep fucking bundling streaming TV shit into things that don't need streaming TV bundles.
Why does my phone plan need to suddenly include streaming services? Why does a retailer's loyalty service need to include a streaming service?
I'm so fatigued by the amount of subscription services and platforms out there and I'm just absolutely bewildered at how normal consumers... accept this.
- geodel 3y agoThey accept this because cord cutting pioneers pronounced streaming as a nirvana for all the problems with cable. They did this without ever having the slightest doubt or thought on how things will play out in near future once traditional and streaming companies learn about consumers such heavy dependence on streaming. Normal consumers who are not obsessed with things behind the scene took the glorious streaming future at its face value.

Then streaming services want to increase their reach, so their sales teams will do a deal with as many partners as possible to tap more audiences.
