Seems like it’s just someone whining about their internet connection, in which case, I can see why streaming would be frustrating.
But I’m lucky enough not to experience these issues, and boy oh boy, is streaming better.
No searching through physical disks that could be in the wrong cases, no time delay (going to get the physical disk or waiting days for it to show up) instant switching based on whatever I feel like watching. I’m more likely to look at new types of content because if it sucks it’s easy for me to change.
If you have a decent connection, streaming is so, so much better
- Suppafly 2y ago>If you have a decent connection, streaming is so, so much better This, pretending otherwise is just silly. I can understand that people enjoy the ritual with things like vinyl, but no one enjoys flipping through DVDs or the like.

- malux85 2y agoEvery decision has tradeoffs, but I watch the HD netflix and it works flawlessly. Would I trade all of the advantages above for the (to me) near imperceptible difference in quality? Nope. Wait days for physical media to show up, or drive around and find a store? What is this? 1952? No thanks.
- xenospn 2y agoI guess it’s better in the same way FM radio is “better” than a CD. But streaming is always worse, quality wise.
