I was recently rewatching a popular show from the 00's on either Netflix or prime, I was 1/2 through the show when one day I woke up to find it completely gone from all services i am member of...

Guess what, it does not just disappear from my Plex/Emby server...

Online stream services was suppose to resolve the CableTV problem of paying for 1000 channels to watch the 5 you want.

Now Every network, every media company, every one is creating their own streaming service with all of their content "exclusive" so I would need to sign up for like 20+ services to get access to about 60% of the content that I want to watch as the other 40% is simply not on any streaming service at all it is either too new or too old

Justwatch.com has more than 85 Streaming Services in their database... that is crazy
