Gone are the days of piled-up DVDs, as streaming becomes the most common means of watching literally everything, for better or for worse. Many DVD hoarders dislike this shift, but while disks are still available, they're becoming less common, and most TV fans and cinephiles have accepted the fact that at least one subscription to a streaming service might be the most convenient way to enjoy their favorite TV Shows and movies consistently.

Moreover, there's strong competition among the various video-streaming websites and services, as each strives to feel indispensable by enriching their online libraries, often creating original content or acquiring fan-favorites exclusively.
