Kanopy is great, and very nearly as good as the mainstream streaming platforms in terms of selection and software quality.

Hoopla, however, is abysmal both in selection (though this depends on your local library) and in software/service quality. The search is broken, and it has some of the most confusing UX I've ever experienced. It's as if it actively wants to prevent you from watching anything.

That’s just what the internet was like many years ago, slow, bad search, clunky, jerky not smooth, and with lots of right angles.

Hoopla is just based off a relic.
