We are now at the point in the history of show business where a bad experience is free and a decent one costs extra.

Except that's not the case. *arrs and plex(probably jellyfin as well, haven't tried it) is a vastly superior user experience than most of the streaming apps. So the good experience is free and the bad experience costs money.
