    I don’t like doing it, and I would be thrilled to throw my money at a single service that allows me to stream anything I want at high bitrate 4K. I’d actually be willing to pay a pretty high premium for that. Money is not the issue, it’s the quality of service. I genuinely wish there was a way to pay for a service that benefitted the film industry while providing a quality service to me. Until that’s the case, I’ll continue sailing on a ship that gives me the highest-possible quality content.

      Hell yeah. I’d pay $300 a month if they provide everything over 6 months old and never take shit out of the catalog.

      I’d be super happy not to have to maintain my own catalogs.

        Yo man let’s not go crazy, $300 a year would be on the high end of acceptable for that. The costs to keep more data available when you own the licenses are quite low as a percentage of total operations, so keeping old content up should be the norm instead of something to be lauded.
