    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    They say that a persons life is defined by their choices, and nowhere is that more evident than in the vast ocean of popular entertainments proliferation
    of the best streaming services , from the titans of the territory Netflix and Prime Video, to mid-sized destinations like Disney Plus, Max, and Hulu, and more compact channels such as Apple TV Plus, Paramount Plus, and Peacock.

    Every TV network and studio has entered the crowded arena, but its getting convoluted as to where to find your favorite franchises, and with so many options to choose from in our manic digital age, annoying ads popping up like weeds, and subscription prices rising by the minute, getting the most from
    our streaming buck in these inflationary times is of the utmost importance.

    And as many major platforms have shifted toward licensing out their content
    to other premium services for additional revenue flow, you might find proprietary material vanishing from one platform and unexpectedly hopping to another streaming lily pad to the next.

    So as Father Time helps usher out the old year, perhaps its wise to consider switching to a smaller boutique service that offers a multitude of bespoke movies, fresh episodic series, original documentaries, and special events
