Easy Streaming Service Guide

This video by YouTuber Videogamedunkey is the best piece of satire I have seen so far about our age of streaming oversaturation, the era where every company thinks they desperately need to charge consumers $20 a month for their content. In this video, a guide to how you can watch King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963) spirals out of control as Dunkey ushers you through a hilarious mix of real and only-slightly-less-real examples of the insanity of the streaming era.

Some highlights:

  • "I am subscribed to Netflix because it was a better deal than Blockbuster twenty-four years ago."
  • "You get the new Spider-Man but not the first one, which is only on Fubo TV. Since Disney owns Marvel, they don't have either."
  • "Netflix has the new Django show and Django & Django but they don't have Django or Django, which is coming soon to Starz."
  • "Tubi is gonna hook you up with the Fred trilogy, which is huge."
  • A genuinely insane explanation of how to watch the entire Pokemon anime that is proof that sometimes reality makes satire obsolete.
  • An explanation of streaming content trades so fake it could be true.

We should gather all streaming executives into a room, force their eyes open Clockwork Orange-style, and show them this video.
