Apple TV, google play, Amazon, and all the other video stores are no harder to use than Spotify.

You don’t use them because it costs 6 bucks a pop.

That’s a price motive not a service issue.

I think anyone who has tried to figure out which movies & series to watch where and how to line up the billing cycles to move to the next service when you run out of content, will disagree.

This is fundamentally a service issue, providers aren't competing on price or the quality of the service, but by monopolizing the availability of content which makes the user experience objectively worse.

Even if these services were free, I would still prefer BitTorrent. Why?

- It has a wider selection of content. I don't have to faff around looking for which content is available on which service.

- There is no DRM.

- Do these services even work on Linux? I know BitTorrent does.
