They are all getting more expensive and all losing quality content. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a specific show I want to watch. Sometimes it’s on Netflix, other times Hulu. Sometimes something I want to watch isn’t even being streamed. It’s just massively confusing.

And they're low bitrate and often come with arcane restrictions on what device you can view it on without getting stuck with even lower bit rate.
It would be great if we could go back.

I don't mind having multiple services, we used to have that 10 years ago with Netflix and a couple of the TV networks. The incoherent interface would be better if we could just have Boxee back.

It's not confusing to me. I get pretty much all the content from Netflix/Hulu/Prime/AppleTV/Paramount+/etc. from the same source. Usually at the max resolution/bitrate that my equipment can display.

What's more, I don't have to deal with dark patterns or regular subscription price increases either.
