And in many cases, I have to deal with fragmented shows that are scattered among several services.

Meanwhile, the seven seas offer a free or extremely low-cost alternative in which I can watch everything without restrictions and with an even better UI than many services.

Add that the economy nowadays make people fear an unexpected 100€ expense because it would mean you can't eat that month. And they are surprised that customer count is falling?

The "disrupter" business model led to new market entrants who once stablished, become the new enshittification / price scalping vampires.

Product claims to be the future -> Lot's of investment -> Product is dirt cheap and great -> doesn't turn a profit ever -> loses investors -> gets enshitified -> less users -> less investment -> dies

repeat

It's almost as though younger people are less likely to be able to afford increasingly expensive luxuries right now.
