The curse of media fragmentation

WHY IS EVERY ANIME I TRY TO WATCH SPREAD OVER SEVENTEEN DIFFERENT STREAMING PLATFORMS???
Okay I'm slightly exaggerating. But seriously, Non non Biyori season 1 is on some platform I've never heard of called HDive. Season 3 is on Crunchyroll. And season 2 is just... um... not anywhere???? And that's truly just one example of a dozen or so shows I've clicked on, only to find that the listings start on crunchyroll at season 2, or that there IS a season 2 but it's elsewhere. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa it's so frustrating because I don't have the money to blow on one month of all these different services just for one season of anime, and long gone are the days when I was tech savvy enough to sail the seven seas proficiently.
I know we shouldn't wish for the degredation of society for petty and dumb reasons, but if the financial infrastructure of the world would like to collapse just enough that most streaming platforms fail and media can start being consolidated again, that'd be greeeeeeeat.

But I mean, like you mentioned in a previous comment; you might not even be able to find it in physical copy, which suuuuckssss.
If you can find something on Youtube that you like, and are willing to risk it, theres websites that download in mp4 format, so....yeah I dunno. Thats what I do (until I find the show for purchase), but it tends to have the same problem: sometimes people dont upload everything, aaaghh.
EDIT; because I suck at typing on phones, ffff.
Heck, I dunno how much you like reading, but I’d suggest the same when it comes to books, too. Theres been maaannnyyyy extencive power outages in the places I’ve lived, and having a book to ward off boredom is sooooo good; ahh, but thats a different subject!! My apologies~
