1. Script
   "Streaming services are getting out of hand. I'll be honest, at first, I really liked the variety of streaming services because it was still pretty easy to watch whatever I needed to watch. I mean, I only needed like three of them: Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney Plus. But now, I'm really starting to question all these platforms. I genuinely haven't used Netflix for anything in so long because everything they have sucks. Disney still hasn't rebooted the best Marvel shows like Daredevil, for some reason. And HBO Max, while it's doing fine, but still. And now there are even more streaming services with stuff I want to watch and can't, case in point: Hulu. I heard about a TV show that was on Hulu called 'Rami,' so I thought, okay, let me just try the free trial. And then I learned Hulu has ads, even if you pay for a subscription. And I know that me not knowing about this for so long is so dumb, but like, why? Like, this is a genuine question: who the heck is paying for a subscription and still dealing with ads like every five minutes? It's ridiculous. Also, why does the service even exist? Hulu is owned by Disney, yet they still keep Hulu and Disney Plus separate and make one infinitely worse."

3. My Story
   "Lately, streaming services like Netflix, Tving, Wave, and Disney Plus are really getting out of hand. I'll be honest, what once seemed like a treasure trove of variety is now making me question their appeal. For instance, Netflix hasn't had any captivating content for ages, and while Disney Plus does okay, it still falls short. Tving and Wave, though diverse, also lack compelling shows. This situation has me genuinely questioning why I'm still subscribed when there's hardly anything worth watching."
