Forgot "Yes, but you maybe only stream in 720p because you're on Linux :D" 🀑

And its cousin "yes, but your browser doesn't have the right DRM software embedded in it, go fuck yourself"

"I tried to load an ad and failed and forgot where you were in the show so I'm just gonna start over. Oh hey it's the beginning of the show, have an ad."

Worse:

"I'm aware that you're paying nearly $30 a month for our Ad-Free tier; but this content creator still demands we put Ads on this shit. Here's an Ad!" Crashes and refuses to begin playback again when your browser that's configured to block those ads blocks it.

Or the relative of the "Worse" option:

"Oh, you're paying a little extra to limit advertising interruptions? Oh sorry! That only works on pre-roll and post-roll ads. Enjoy your fucking Mid(t)roll ad that you can't fucking skip!"

And it's adopted brother for TV shows, "yes but only the 3rd, 5th, and 12th episodes of the first season, first 3 of the second, none of the 3rd but the ENTIRE 4th season (excluding the finale), and the rest are easily available from 4 other streaming services. Isn't this so much better? :)"

I made the mistake of purchasing a movie advertised as 4k on YouTube once. They wouldn't let me view it higher than 480p on my PC. They also had the audacity to claim it was because too many people were streaming during COVID. Never ever again.

Also the related "Yes, but only we only have a low-bitrate 1080p copy of that 4K HDR movie"
