Even in this poorly made comparison shot I made you can tell the difference between streaming and "self hosting"

Man... Im watching Stargate sg1 with my kiddo. My Plex server is down for a bit.. so I switched over to prime for an episode or two..
It's dark, it's audio is horrible, it's 4:3 formatted it's horribly compressed and it has commercials.
Talk about a poor viewing experience.
Not watching is better than watching...
Stargate was 4:3, so there's that....
Yeah I really doubt streaming would change anything to 4:3.
Disney+ famously changed classic Simpsons to 16:9 and in the process, cropped enough to make some visual gags not work, but I can't imagine them preferring 4:3 over 16:9.
i've watched more than a few shows that have been brutally hacked into wide format from the original 4:3. the practice is horrible. they need to stop pulling that shit and let the viewer decide whether to crop the frame or not--or put a proper pan & scan up instead of a blind hack job and leave the original format available, too.
