    So truth. We’ve had so much times situations at home, when we wanted to watch a particular movie, yet it was not available on any streaming service, and you had to be subscribed even to check if it is present on the platform. Piracy just ended up the only available option that times…

    I know this is a meme, but the only service I’ve found that doesn’t follow this exact pattern is MUBI. Too bad piracy is way more convenient than that, anyway.

      Apple TV is basically the only streaming service I have respect for at this point, and I still hate the UI. They just have so many good shows.

      They’re the only ones making great science fiction imo. Almost everything else is pure slop.

        I do agree. I think they purposely make the UI bad to make it less obvious how small of catalog they have compared to Netflix/prime etc.

        I’d much rather have a small catalog of mostly high quality shows, compared to whatever the fuck everyone else is doing.

    i thought it was missing ‘random sandler slop’ but then i realized it was already there, several times.

    I hated the moment Netflix started doing that, especially for titles it used to have. “Oh, we know what you’re looking for, but sucks to be you. Here’s what you can watch”

    I use JustWatch to hunt down movies and series, but often the one I’d like to watch exists nowhere.

    Only issue with that page is that no matter what you’re looking for, it advertises Prime as “has similar!” in a sneaky way that gets through adBlock. Luckily it’s easy enough to make a filter.
