It seems like every streaming service catalog is deteriorating. Almost every time I've looked up a movie to watch on justwatch, they're only available for rental/"purchase." I'm done paying my hard earned money for dogshit services.

I've also just kind of given up on watching much of anything, I have better things to do than sit in front of the TV for hours on end.

I hear that. I watch way less than I used to. I've also made it a point to stay out of other people's algorithms as much as I can. I only pull exactly what I want from youtube then go do something else. You can't doom scroll Lemmy because you run out of doom after 30-40 minutes.

My guilty pleasure is still binging certain series, but I try to wait to watch stuff until it's canceled or at the very least until the season is over and I can just catch up in a weekend.
