It's really a shame. There are very few streaming services left where I feel like I can pick something out with little to no research and end up finding a gem. It's been my go-to "No idea what to watch but I want to watch something good" service, and it's disappointing that it won't be around for that anymore.
As a movie buff, this is sad news. It was my go-to source for Criterion Collection films, and many of the films in their library are hard to find and are often only available on out-of-print DVDs.
Dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18310037. I liked to the official FAQ, whereas the other thread is a Variety article.
I cannot find any details as to why they are stopping the service, but I suspect it has to do with the ATT acquisition. ATT is probably planning to fold many of their streaming services into one.
