Steve’s Heartburn: The Streaming Service Standoff

Brought to you by TR Williams Insurance

Remember when picking something to watch was easy?

You grabbed the remote, flipped through a few channels, landed on a movie you’d already seen six times, and somehow ended up watching the whole thing anyway.

Now?

You’ve got Netflix. Hulu. Prime Video. Disney+. Max. Peacock. Paramount+. Freevee. Tubi. And probably three more services you forgot you’re paying for.

In theory, this should be amazing.

In reality, it goes something like this:

You sit down on the couch.

You open Netflix.

Nothing looks good.

You switch to Hulu.

Still nothing.

You check Prime.

Maybe.

Back to Netflix.

Then somebody asks the question that immediately turns the evening into a committee meeting:

“What do you want to watch?”

Nobody knows.

Nobody agrees.

And somehow forty minutes disappear while everybody scrolls through thousands of options.

At that point, you’ve spent more time searching than actually watching.

The strangest part?

Back when we had fewer choices, we seemed happier.

Now we’ve got endless options and somehow everybody ends up watching the same three comfort shows they’ve already seen a dozen times.

I’m starting to think streaming services don’t provide entertainment.

They provide homework.

Because finding a show shouldn’t take longer than the show itself.
