Tech's broken promises: Streaming is now just as expensive and confusing as cable. Ubers cost as much as taxis. And the cloud is no longer cheap.

Some tech is getting pricier and looking a lot like the older services it was supposed to beat. From video streaming to ride-hailing and cloud computing.

    Yeah man, I’m sure you’ll be able to convince the average person that your process is way easier than just launching an app.

      Actually, now that its setup, its completely automated. “Renting” a movie is as easy as typing and and pressing request with overseer. As far as launching an app. I just turn on my smart tv and launch plex and BICKETY FUCKING BAM SLAM MAN my entire library shows up. Works fucking great and now I provide it to my entire family with no bullshit drama about password sharing, they each have their own accounts and everything. For those too lazy or stupid to figure it out, that is what streaming services are for.
