I saw great potential in streaming. Then physical media started to evaporate. Then everyone started to have their own streaming platform. Then came the ads.
By the time I could have afforded them, it got enshittified. Back to swashbuckling I guess.
Was the plan all along. You gotta pay the same price, but now also watch ads and have it all gone once you stop paying for subscriptions.
