(38,542 posts)First of all, not EVERYTHING is available. There are a few titles I haven't found anywhere. Second of all, it's not like all the offerings are under one roof like Blockbuster. There are so many streaming services & sometimes you're in the middle of a series & the service you're watching through drops the show & another one picks it up. Sometimes it doesn't get picked up right away. You can at least cancel at anytime so you're never out more than a month's subscription if you keep a calendar & cancel in time.
My biggest gripe about streaming is the lack of standardization in how the user interacts with the app. Like how Ctrl +X equals Cut on PCs. Things like how you turn closed caption on & off, or how your favorites are stored. In some apps if you pause during a commercial, when you come back you have to start the commercials all over again. It's crazy inconsistency. Netflix has the best, IMO.
