For whatever reason. Whether it is a lack of content, clunky menus, constant interruptions in the streaming, whatever it is.

Quickflix - the company tried to be Australia’s answer to Netflix before Netflix arrived. Using Microsoft Silverlight the videos looked appalling. Limited selection, and it took years to navigate the menus.. also it did not remember playback position or keep track if you are watching a series. Also for the first year it was only web based so you had to connect your computer to a tv if you wanted to watch on tv.
They did improve, I even heard they got good after a while, but they were dead once Netflix launched in Australia.

Spotify kept crashing on my phone so I gave up on it and now just use Apple Music.
The WWE Network is also constantly crashing for me recently to the point where I have decided it needs to go....after Wrestlemania of course.

Optimum's streaming is awful. How do you make your service a full screen non-browser client?
Awful.

Just got Hulu, and was surprised at how cheap it was. Then I figured out there’s numerous unskippable ads, which kind of defeats the purpose of a streaming service. They’re lucky the content is good.

They have a no commercials plan for a few dollars more. Like I think you’re paying for a couple dollars more a month than what you pay for Netflix a month. I have that plan (my girlfriend pays for Netflix is why) and it makes things so much better.

I absolutely hate nearly every aspect of Amazon's Prime Video. The interface is terrible and, for the damn largest company in the world at this point, their selection is utter crap.

I used Crackle one time because it was free and I had let Netflix lapse. It was like if your buddy found $600,000 in the road and decided to start a streaming service. Just really bad. Also along thise lines, when one of my favorite shows Community got picked up by the infamous Yahoo! Screen. Yahoo! Screen was like if your other buddy found $300,000 in the road and tried to knock off your first buddy. The content on both was atrocious and the interface was almost as bad as the content. Maybe even worse.
Right now, I have Hulu for a few shows. The content is very good, but the interface is (and normally has been) trash. Netflix is actually very good at putting things in front of you based on what you watch that you would also watch. Hulu is very bad at that, and even if you were looking for a specific show, it would be very, very hard to find without a title search.

WWE network never has worked smoothly for me. There help people keeps saying upgrade to the highest internet you have in the area. When netflix and any other service runs just fine without an issues. There is an issue when it crashes and when I'm watching an old PPV that it would randomly go three matches back on it's own. The newest issue I've had it would play for a couple mins and freeze up where to can't get out of it until you completely restart the gaming console. Once I uninstall and reinstall the app it fine from doing that.

As much as I love the company, New Japan World is a pain in the ass. The lack of a proper app makes it even worse.
WWE Network was pretty sketchy when it first started and still has its issues. It has improved a little, though.
I use Fox Sports Go to watch the Braves when I'm on the go. It works about 10% of the time.

UFC Fight Pass was a terrible purchase. I let my subscription run out and didn't even think twice about it. The interface kept changing and it felt impossible to just search for what I wanted. For having the full library of so many companies, it felt like they had very little outside of the UFC shows. The rest of their catalogue just wasn't interesting. It was also near impossible at times to use on my Roku.

If it wasn’t for articles on completely unrelated media saying what’s new, I feel like I’d never know. Their menu is absolutely abysmal, and they’re getting beasted on by Netflix in terms of new, high quality content from other sources.

Crackle isnt that bad to be honest, but it is just Netflix with no originals and commercials. That said, they do have some good movies on there that I havent seen on Netflix. As for the worst I've ever used, I forget the name of it, but it had commercials EVERY 5 minutes. I can understand why the free channels have commercials, but that one is ridiculous.
