I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."

*Opens webpage*

"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."

Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....

So I'm not the only one! Can't remember when this was since Netflix was cancelled a while ago, but back then it wasn't even possible to select the quality or get the true quality. 1080p was actually streaming 720p. IMO, that should be worthy of a fine, but ain't nobody got the time. Much quicker to just find it elsewhere.
