Netflix had it, lost it due to a more competitive landscape.
Now they all have reached about peak saturation and are struggling to hit those massive numbers where people are doing it willingly, they they think they can strong arm people into it.
Streaming is all about convenience. Can I sit on the couch and put on something relatively engaging for a few that seems relatively reasonable? Ya? Cool.
The further you move away from that model the more people start to look elsewhere.
Pirating has gotten a lot, and I mean a LOT easier, and that arm is only so strong.
I used to sail the seas with great passion about 10-15 years ago. Then music, and video streaming came along and was fairly priced and I happily became a landlubber. Over the past year I’ve begun sailing again because all the services want a slice of a pie that’s just not that big. Sailing is better than it ever was. The boats are much larger, faster and even look and sound better.
the fact that they keep making these shitty greedy moves is undermining their core business model: how am i ever supposed to trust them to maintain a decent library and give me decent access to it when they do shit like this?

The best part is the boats just drive themselves these days as long as you use proper equipment like sonar and radar

Disney Plus limits video quality on Linux to 720p.
The seas give you 4k and 5.1 audio with better convenience.
