"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....

AppleTV: you wanted to watch this movie, that’s great, it’s on Amazon, BellTV, and Crave

Open any of those apps and it’s only available outside my subscription and I have to subscribe to some weird ass TV channel I’ve never heard of and didn’t even have their own app.

With the additional channels available on Prime, they tend to offer a free weeks subscription and they reset about twice a year so you can do it again.
