I'm resolved to just watch from my own collection even as I'm checking Netflix (lemm.ee)

I am over being disappointed by streaming sites.

"I wanna watch X, let's see if Netflix has it..."

*Opens webpage*

"Hmm... Netflix usually sucks, they probably wont have it. I'm just gonna say I'll watch Y off my hard drive instead. But let's still confirm that Netflix doesn't have X..."

Next thing you know, I'm watching Y off my hard drive.

Streaming services suck so much nowdays that I already resolve myself to watching something else before I even finish checking. Gotta shield myself from disappointment. Why would you pay for each channel on a TV? Just get the hard copy at that point....

I haven't looked at any streaming service in at least 5 years.

Want to watch something > Open Ombi > Search title > click 'request' > (request is processed by the arr stack) 15-25min later receive notification 'request ready to watch' > Open emby from anywhere > stream request from my home pc.

Most of the time the media's already been acquired from previous requests from users, monitored imdb lists, friend recommendations randomly tossed in throughout the week, etc; and can just be streamed immediately.
