The fact that it provides an incomplete list of 5 streaming services and calls them "affordable", despite the need for the user to have more than 3 of them if they want to actually have access to a reasonable amount of watchably good media, is one of the main reasons that piracy has increased to pre-Netflix days, and the corpos don't want to understand this fact.
Any one of these streaming services has enough content to kill a victorian-era child.
I've never been subscribed to three at once and have never felt there wasn't enough options for watchably good media. I can't speak for you but I think a lot of people get caught up in the trending shows and miss out on the back catalogs.
I think streaming is very affordable but only if you have the discipline to be patient about the most popular show this month not being available to you until later when you switch services.
But that's the thing... Now, that popular show we love so much will not be available on any streaming platform besides the one that produced it. Want to watch The Office? Better have Peacock or put on your trihat.
