I’m kinda surprised that the article only mentioned convenience and completely skipped rising costs, ad injection, crackdowns on password sharing, and more fees.
The subscriptions cost a shitload more, even if you’re a paid subscriber you still get ads, you have to pay more fees to get rid of ads or watch a program that is either new or the service has decided to charge for, and you can’t share password with anyone outside your household.
It’s not a convenience problem, it’s a money problem.
Eh, it's also a convenience problem. If I want to watch a specific movie, good luck figuring out what streaming service it's on. It's so nice to be able to just watch what I want without that hassle.
