The only one actually worth paying for me. Especially since Funimation absorbed them and expanded their library.

HBO seems to know how to produce content. Still pretty underwhelming though

I try not to be a pirate overall, but between having a Prime membership and never finding anything worth watching, having had a Disney+ membership and only having watched Loki and Hawkeye in all that time before cancelling, having used a cousin's Netflix and not even feeling an ounce of disappointment when they finally disallowed sharing of memberships, I really see little value in video streaming.

What is especially a shame is that streaming essentially killed Blu Ray rentals, before 4K even became a thing. Never, and Nowhere can you watch a 4K stream with anything resembling UHD quality. Instead you have to pay $30 for a BluRay purchase. I am not sure I know many people who have actually seen how good 4K can look without streaming compression, a decade into 4K TVs being mainstream. Is that not crazy?
Definitely with you there. Always amazed me watching people spend thousands on a really nice tv, then never actually use it close to it's capabilities
