I just don’t have time to deal with the bull and I’m not juggling five different streaming services.
THIS. Fuck this. Fuck it with a spiked 10m pole. I don’t have the time nor the will to find what streaming service has the exclusive the show I want to watch this month. Is it on netflix? No, wait… their rights expired last week, this month it should be on… Hulu, maybe? No… it’s an ANC show so… it should be HBO, right? WRONG! It’s on Prime’s exclusive channel (that you need to pay on top of Prime’s sub).
TV and movies is stremio for me, I refuse to pay for that shit. It was fine when you had only netflix, but now? You need several different streaming services if you want to follow something, and they are worsening by the day.
For music, I try to buy the music so I can put it up on my jellyfin server. I’m not one who needs thousands of different songs, so in my case, buying an album every now and then is cheaper than paying a sub for millions of songs that I don’t need.
Games it’s Steam for me too, I rarely play an AAA big game, like extremely rarely; most of my games are indies. Generally I pirate games to try them. If I like them, I end up buying (sometimes, months after I finished the pirated game, when I have disposable to spend or when I find them discounted), if not, I uninstall and forget about them.
I do whatever is easiest or works the best. For TV and movies, that’s jellyfin and piracy. For music, that’s Tidal. For games, that’s Steam.
Same. It’s not even about the money. I just don’t have time to deal with the bull and I’m not juggling five different streaming services.
Figure out your shit as an industry or I’m just not bothering. Ergo I use one service. JellyFin.
