Disappointing streaming changes are happening so fast that it's hard to keep up.

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced.

Netflix starts killing its cheapest ad-free plan in June

Sony bumps Crunchyroll prices weeks after shuttering Funimation

Peacock is raising prices

Fubo cuts 19 channels

        It’s a shame you’ve never done it. Maybe someone here has a link to some sort of tutorial for a criminal that wants to do it. Not me, just someone.
