Any show I've googled has a widget at the top right showing me where it is, if it's included in my current subscriptions, and how much it costs without one. It's been getting confused lately about arrangements like "Paramount+ via Amazon Prime", but it still works pretty well.

How does Google know what subscriptions you have?

If only there was dozens of services for this exact issue. this took me less than a few minutes with classic non-LLM search: https://imdb.com https://www.justwatch.com/ https://streamsearchup.com/ https://www.wheretowatch.stream/ https://streamfinder.co/ https://findmystreams.com/ https://lookupvod.com/en

Yeah sure. My point is that I have to leave the streaming apps and use third-party services in the first place. If finding where to watch something requires another app or website, I’d argue the ecosystem itself has a UX problem

Have you used any of these? Most of them are awful and not useful at all. JustWatch is alright but is succumbing to enshittification.

I'm going to guess there's basically one real one and the rest are scraping it to present with more ads.

This feels like such a tired subject now. That's not to say don't complain, it's just surprising that we still haven't hit any kind of breaking point with this. I thought we were going to have a big die-off followed by re-consolidation. But somehow this is sustainable? Who is supporting all these stupid services?

It's on my media server. Forever. Where did it come from? Content negotiations are not open to public scrutiny. Thank you, good day.

What subtitles does it have? Any you want, regardless of where you are, where your residency is or your citizen status.

And the subtitles themselves will be beautifully authored making full use of features like using color coding and positions to show who's talking. Sometimes you'll even get Area 51 technology where text appearing on signs will be edited to appear translated using only subtitles.

Or the search in the middle of the screenshot that tops the article.
