    If you frequently watch this kind of stuff, your options are to either shuffle subs between 8 different platforms, or just get what you want from alternate sources. It’s always a service issue

      Not even that for me; most of the random things I want to add to my “to watch” list aren’t even on a streaming service

        Yeah… that was similar to my experience too. When I first got a Netflix sub, i was like okay, let’s see this movie then. Oh… not there. Next one then. Also not there. Maybe the other show? Not there either, but on Hulu. Except the paid plain on Hulu served me 16 unskippable ads, each over a minute long, all within the length of a 24 minute tv show episode. Immediately removed both subscriptions

        Yeah, “the internet doesn’t forget” is rather uddated. The internet only remembers tactics to extract money. If there is no money, you’ll get no service mist of the time.
