Streaming was supposed to be simple. Instead, somewhere between your Netflix password getting cut off, your Apple TV bill doubling and keeping Disney+ just for the kids, you're now spending $80 a month on television. And for what? Six different apps that you scroll for an hour before giving up to rewatch the same comfort show you’ve already seen three times.
The great irony of the streaming era is that as more platforms launched, TV became more expensive and exhausting. Cutting the cord was supposed to save us money. Instead, streaming has quietly turned into cable, just with more passwords.
