         | The reason Netflix has become so popular isn't that they were
         | "first", it was because you could get nearly everything you
         | wanted on the platform.
         | 
         | Now we have Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV, HBOMax, etc.
         | so forth. It defeats the purpose of streaming, which was to
         | increase convenience and lower costs. If you subscribe to those
         | five platforms, you're already nearly cable-levels of pricing.
         | 
         | No wonder piracy is in a resurgence.
