Streaming is the new cable TV. Feels like years ago since I've seen refreshing content. YT is just a advertising platform now. I use it for shirt videos and just refuse to extend this time with +150% unskipable ads. Netflix seems to be milking the same series. I rarely actually want to see something and if I do it's in some weird streaming service. This fracturing of the services and the ridiculous addition of advertising is making me move towards piracy more, like it was back in the days when it felt just pointless to watch a movie with +60 minutes of added commercials added on the cable.

Couldn't understand why people would wanted to see 5 blocks of the same commercials interrupting their movie, can't understand how people keep subscribing to all the services or don't mind watching some 20 second unskipable ad on a 5 minute how-to.
