yeah, from the ones I a have used (Netflix, Disney+, Prime, Maxdome) only Prime is atrocious, all others are not perfect but usable.

I found Netflix to be getting worse and worse till I finally cancelled 1-2 years ago. The interface was doing weird stuff, more and more autoplay, weird suggestions, search results turning to shit.

They were working towards being as bad as prime, but prime was "free" if you subscribed to at least one twitch channel, and Netflix kept raising prices.

Technology doesn't seem to be the sticking point that keeps people at particular streaming sites. It's the content that rules the decisions about which service, at least based upon all of the discussions amongst the internets and friends and family.

To be fair, if they started bad and stayed there (kinda like Amazon), I probably wouldn’t have minded as much. But getting worse over time? Thanks, but no thanks.
