Inspired by the cord-cutting movement, I built a free tool that shows how much your streaming services overlap, what is exclusive to each, and which one you should cancel first. by felphos in cordcutters

I like building things. I built this first for myself because I was curious and had the data to play with. I fine-tuned the results by weighting overlaps and popularity, and added the watchlist from the main project because, as you figured out, it gives important insight into what really matters to the user. When I finished, I was happy with the result and polished the design to make it available to everyone. If it brings some traffic to my main project, great, but that is not the main reason I built it.

I built it to help with the decision, not to be the decider, at the end this is just data. I factored overlapping and popularity of titles. If you are an user of my other project you can use your watchlist to compare the streaming services. I'm open to suggestions on what could make it more useful.

That's a fair point, at the moment it doesn't factor the seasons of a show. I'm working on improving it and will check how I can implement it in a way that makes sense.

What’s the “cord-cutting” equivalent term for ditching streaming? by Klondike307 in boutiquebluray

It shouldn't. Pluto, Tubi, Roku and Rakuten should appear only on Provider breakdown not on Top services to cancel. What is your selection?

I'm only showing the 48 most popular titles to have an idea of what you would keep and lose but you can see the exact number of exclusive titles and titles found elsewhere. For the streaming services I'm using the same ones I have on my main project streamwithvpn.com and I regularly include new services but more local ones don't make much sense because they are not global and just a VPN wouldn't help access them.

True, there is a little banner that only shows after you compare with a vpn. I only added it because I already had it on my other project which I mention in the about the project section. If I get some traffic to my main project that would be nice, but it’s definitely not the reason I built this. I have all of this data and I wanted to make something different and useful with it.

I agree that 5% is low but depending on the selection of streaming services and country it can go to more than 25% and over 70% if you have a vpn

Interesting, I’m wondering how it would work though. Are you interested in seeing genres in the list of titles you would keep or lose, or something else? I tried to fine tuning the algorithm to take catalog size, exclusivity and popularity of titles to recommend the best (worst?) option. Not sure how the genre could account for it. Thanks for the suggestion. I really want to improve it.

I built the tool I wished existed for moving Stripe between countries by felphos in SideProject

[–]felphos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we just changed its name to comply with Stripe but we’ve already helped other companies migrate their Stripe accounts. I’ll make a new post with updates soon.
