I gave up on streaming few years ago. I had both Netflix and Hulu which were fun for a few years but it gradually felt like it got worse. It got to the point where I would catch myself scrolling past one uninteresting show after another for 10-15 minutes then turned the TV off and did something else.

I've considered getting Paramount just for Trek and South Park but at this point I could care less about TV And film.

I notice a pattern in television. When it first emerged, they put some effort into the programming. Then when colour TV came about, the same thing happened. Same with satellite/cable, streaming services etc. When they were trying to hook people on streaming, the content seemed to be much higher quality.

Mass media has a knack of producing dull programming and films just now. I was watching some true crime docs, but even within that I have my preferences.
