New Year's Resolutions for Streaming Services (That Would Actually Make Cord Cutters Happy)

It's a new year, and that means it's time for everyone to make some resolutions.  But instead of focusing on ourselves this year, let's give some much-needed advice to our beloved (and sometimes frustrating) streaming services. Here are 10 resolutions they should really consider if they want to keep us cord cutters happy in 2026:

1. "We will stop adding new channels/tiers and raising prices every other month."  Seriously, we left cable to get AWAY from this madness.
2. "We will stop removing shows and movies without warning."  Don't make us play content roulette!
3. "We will make our interfaces less cluttered and easier to navigate."  We just want to watch something, not get lost in a maze of menus.
4. "We will stop auto-playing trailers and previews at maximum volume."  Our hearts (and ears) can't take it anymore.
5. "We will offer a 'truly unlimited' plan with no restrictions on simultaneous streams."  Let the binge-watching commence!
6. "We will stop making original shows and movies that are just pale imitations of cable TV."  We're looking for something new and exciting, not the same old tired formulas.
7. "We will actually crack down on password sharing... but only for those people who are REALLY abusing it."  Sharing with your grandma is fine; sharing with your entire dorm floor is not.
8. "We will offer a la carte channels so you can pay only for what you want."  This is the dream, people. Make it happen.
9. "We will finally, truly invest in a decent search function."  We shouldn't need a PhD in library science to find a movie.
10. "In 2026, come up with a 10th resolution."  You have a lot to work on.

So there you have it, streaming services. Ten resolutions to make 2026 the best year yet for cord cutters.  We're not asking for much, just a little sanity and a lot more value for our hard-earned cash.  My Streaming Life depends on it!
