The Best Streaming Services

YouTube launched in 2005. At the time Netflix was a matter of waiting for the DVDs to come in the mail. In fact, Justin TV, the early incantation of Twitch even started streaming before Netflix.

Now, in 2022, there are over 200 streaming services available. The idea of opening up the TV guide to watch the big three networks is no longer even a thought. We can binge entire seasons of television shows, past and present. In many cases, depending on the service, we don’t even get a break unless we hit pause to run to the bathroom or get a snack.
