Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced.
We’ll also examine each streaming platform’s financial status to get an idea of what these companies are thinking (spoiler: They’re thinking about money).
Netflix starts killing its cheapest ad-free plan in June
Sony bumps Crunchyroll prices weeks after shuttering Funimation
Peacock is raising prices
Fubo cuts 19 channels
In a seemingly desperate push, many streaming services prioritize revenue and profits ahead of building the best streaming service for customers.
We could go on about how this might force people to reconsider their subscriptions, but we should publish before another service makes yet another policy change.
I’ve really been thinking about that.
what kind of lineup do you get?
reception: clear? (And, only generally, tell me about your environment and population density? Eg ‘wooded rural, hilly, just me and bigfoot’)
outages?
is it easy to find what’s on? Is it accurate?
commercials, right? Good ones?
Any responses - Rufus or anyone else - appreciated.
Signal quality all depends on where you live. An outdoor antenna will get the most channels (I get 44 channels). Most TVs now have a built in tv schedule app. Samsung TVs integrate ota program schedules into their free SamsungTV app.
