There is nothing inerrantly wrong with streaming, it is the fact that all the streaming services suck. The experience to watch a show through streaming is:

1. Look up what streaming service its on.
2. Realize you don’t have it, pay $25 a month for a subscription.
3. Watch the show in 480p even though you paid for 4k.
4. Realize you are using the “wrong” browser & try chromium
5. Realize chromium doesn’t work either and install their proprietary app.
6. In the time that you were getting their app working, they lost the rights to the show. Restart on new streaming service.

If it were instead:

1. go to any streaming service of your choice
2. Pay $35 a month
3. Watch on Firefox on Linux in 4k, a lot fewer people would pirate.
