Subscription Fatigue: Nearly Half of US Consumers Frustrated by Streaming

The convenient thing to me is that you can just subscribe to a month or two of whatever streaming service has the show you want, and then cancel it when you're done. In this fashion you can just rotate the service you subscribe to over time, see everything you want and only maintain one subscription. Could be more challenging with families all wanting to watch different things, but maintaining two services also wouldn't be too bad.

My friends used to be jealous of my giant archive drive full of TV shows and movies. Then for a time they made fun of me, asking me why I would download things I could already watch on Netflix or Hulu. Now they're jealous again.

Different companies from CBS to YouTube want to win the streaming wars, but they&#x27;re going to end up popping the streaming bubble, and I&#x27;m sure there will be alarmist articles claiming that streaming &quot;just isn&#x27;t viable&quot;. Everyone wants to be next Netflix, but they don&#x27;t seem to stop and think if they should. The more that the content I like becomes desperate among various services, the more I&#x27;m going to say &quot;f<i></i>* it&quot; and go back to torrenting.

Not just streaming video. The same storm is brewing in gaming. Google, nvidia and MS are all launching game streaming platforms. Actual...think sony too

Its astounding people still have streaming subscriptions when you can just lookup and find a free version for whatever you wanna stream.

Movie Streaming all though partly good is like an all you can eat buffet. There is plenty of food to choose from but nothing you want to eat. Compare that to buying movies ala carte food aka buying quality movies.<p>Plus buying movies your movie viewing do not get data analyzed in the same way especially not if you buy physical media.<p>You can then build a personal media library.

My solution: There Can Be Only One. If it is not on Netflix, it does not exist. That&#x27;s bad for my range of choices, but see also: the paradox of choice.

People will really be excited when all of their software goes subscription too!

I do Amazon Prime Video +1<p>Just canceled Netflix going to spin-up HBO for a few months.
