I have a lot of free services. like I said, I watch older stuff mostly. I have watched a lot of low budget independent stuff, some more modern stuff, mostly scifi, that is low budget but done very well. It's really amazing what they can do with talented but unknown actors, And stuff like sets that make sense with displays that mean something, instead of having randomly flashing lights.
Actually, I have read that the rights to old movies and shows are often more convoluted than modern ones. Then there is the demand side, “one expert argued Netflix probably doesn't see a large enough audience to justify the cost of acquiring old films”.With as many streaming services as I subscribe to, you'd think I'd be able to watch most anything I want that's older, which is mostly what I watch. I don't want to pirate stuff, I just want more bang for my buck with these pay to watch services.
Yes, I know, first world problems.
I’m including me in this group, how the heck did they make us all so cheap? We used to pay $2-$6 a movie at the video store, often $20 a weekend in the winter. Used to buy LP’s, tapes, and CD’s, spending $10 a pop and think nothing of it, but tell a friend you pay $15 a month for Spotify and look at the horror face. “I only listen to free music.”With as many streaming services as I subscribe to, you'd think I'd be able to watch most anything I want that's older, which is mostly what I watch.

Makes perfect sense to me because 95% of the movies made today suck so most won't pay for the current fare.
