The quality also went downhill. In my region Disney+ removed HDR support from all titles and dropped the bitrate to very low on top of that there are so many ads. Video quality is shit now. Even with subscription I’m watching PSA encodes.
Are PSA encodes terrible? The file size is always appealing but I guess there’s a reason they’re small

PSA encodes are one of the best for popular shows and movies. Just give it a try. Generally their encodes is to be consumed as it is and 4k versions might not work with some devices since they only give HDR10 and Dolby Vision encodes.
If you intend to watch it with media server with transcoding better go with QxR
Okay thanks, good to know the quality is decent with the file size

Streaming went to shit when everyone made their own. It was good and worth the money when it was one portal with everything available.
Now i am back navigating the stormy high seas, to avoid the treacherous shores of bankruptcy

And the funny thing is, rather than competition driving down prices, they only seem to be competing for who can charge the most while showing more ads.
Yep, there can be no competition with exclusive access

fuck them. I built my own streaming service on my NAS and pirate everything. If there is a consumer friendly service where I can watch everything, I am willing to pay for content again.

Paying is for people who don’t know how to download.
Most content on those services isn’t even worth your time.

I’m still waiting for this shit to come full circle back to how it was with Cable, where someone links the various streaming services together in one convenient app and they tell you you can switch and save!

I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.
It’s llm regurgitated garbage. Welcome to the new and worse internet.
Time to go back to just reading books (those written pre llms)
You’re not kidding. 2nd paragraph in I stopped. 3rd graders can write better than this.
JUST LET US TURN OFF THE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS BOOTUP SOUNDS IN EVERY APP!!!
For me it’s: remember the last user on this device!
If I open Hulu and I have ONE account, why are you making me select the ONE account? I have to select it every time. They should know.
if(accounts.length === 1) { setAccount(accounts[0]); }There. I fixed it. Give me a job.
Triple equals? I’m no expert programmer but I’ve never seen that before.
Other people have answered, but if you’d like to know more it’s a JavaScript thing:

They’re not truly competing because they make every show they can exclusive to their platform
