Oh man, I read this article the other day about how most streaming services have like a 90% churn rate on their movie libraries. People just don't watch the stuff they pay extra for. I fell for the Criterion Channel hype last year, thought I'd finally get into all those classic films everyone talks about. Ended up watching maybe three movies over six months before I canceled it. Its just too easy to pick something familiar like The Office instead of reading subtitles or sitting through a slow burn. Your mileage may vary but I honestly think the fancy services are just for people who already know they'll watch that stuff regularly. The rest of us are just paying for the idea of becoming a more cultured person.

Had a friend almost get smoked trying to cross there last month with her kid in a stroller. She said the timer gave her eight seconds and it dropped to zero before she even hit the median strip. Now she just walks all the way up to the light at Lead to cross instead.
