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.

    Having variety doesn’t mean having everything. A grocery store has a lot of variety but not everything, similarly cable doesn’t have everything. A lot of the biggest shows on Netflix have been Korean, usually US cable doesn’t have those.

        Except “we” didn’t have everything, Netflix selection was more US focused, that was it.
