Dude, convenience literally is the mechanism of the frog boiling the water.

Netflix is the way it is now because of the siren song of convenience.

Piracy levels dropped when Netflix was good.

And look where we're at now. People don't give a crap about video quality, physical media is dying despite it looking and sounding 5 times better than streaming media,

digital media gets to erase history, put disclaimers in front of films about them being "problematic", etc.

And why? Because they offered something attractive up front that people didn't forsee the consequences of. Netflix didn't seem like it was going to destroy blu ray collecting at the time, early 2010s...but now 4K UHD's launch at 30+ dollars, and you can't even buy blu rays for less than 20 bucks hardly anymore.

It used to be, just 5 years ago or so, you could pick of like 70% of older blu rays for less than 10 bucks.

Want a blu ray of an 80s movie you remember fondly? 5.99 on amazon.

Now that same movie will be like 22 dollars on Amazon, because physical movies are becoming a niche area for collectors and whenever something is "for collectors" they know they can charge an arm and a leg for it and morons will still buy it because collectors are either rich or they're just foolish in terms of saving their money and making wise purchasing decisions.

Yeah, it's a bit of a tangent to the point of conveince, but it was the convenience of netflix that made all the services want the same thing, so every film studio has their own streaming service and now streaming is 10 times more expensive than cable because there's like 40 streaming services. Hence why piracy is going up again.

Convience is the mechanism for boiling water in a huge amount of areas.
