As far as I can tell, it is just habit, laziness and convenience. My wife literally prefers to scroll Hulu for 30 mins and settle on some 10 yr old trashy reality TV show. All in order to avoid browsing Jellyfin. Some people want to be passively fed junk TV, instead of actively seeking out quality shows they intentionally want to watch. She chooses to pay for this kind of interaction. Boggles my mind too.
My partner fought me tooth and nail not to cancel all streaming services. What got them to change their mind was the “request board” I put a short cut to a text file on every pc that points to a file on my pc. Whenever I see it updated I go out and find whatever ridiculous request they put on there. It’s always the worst trash tv one could possibly think of but thats ok I don’t have to watch it.
Now they has an endless supply of brain rot and I got to banish the blood sucking leeches that are streaming services.
