Tech’s broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap::Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.
The issue is paying for three streaming services, one is already way more choice and variety you get with cable. And I don’t even just mean the quality of the car, I mean being able to request an Uber on an app and have someone pick you up in a few minutes instead of having to look up a cab companies number then call 30 minutes in advance to talk to a dispatcher and eventually have a taxi show up.
That’s not true. With every production company spinning up their own stuff, you can easily end up having to subscribe to 2 or three just to watch Star wars (Disney plus) AND Star trek (CBS)
Having variety doesn’t mean having everything. A grocery store has a lot of variety but not everything, similarly cable doesn’t have everything. A lot of the biggest shows on Netflix have been Korean, usually US cable doesn’t have those.
bro we used to have everything without paying out the nose. that’s the whole point lmao, way to miss it.
Except “we” didn’t have everything, Netflix selection was more US focused, that was it.
