I feel like every time I sit down to actually watch something, I spend forty minutes just scrolling through a dozen different apps trying to remember which monthly subscription I need to reactivate. It used to be that you just waited for a specific thing to come out on a certain channel, but now everything is scattered across these niche platforms.
I've noticed a pattern where the really high-quality, artistic stuff—the kind that actually wins awards at festivals—seems to be getting tucked away into these tiny, specialized corners of the internet. It’s great for the creators, I guess, but it makes it so much harder for a casual viewer to actually discover them. I ended up missing a couple of great indie films last month simply because I didn't realize they had moved to a service I don't pay for.
Does anyone else feel like the fragmentation of media is making it harder to actually enjoy cinema? Or am I just getting old and tired of managing ten different logins?
