Yes, it's usually possible to get one or more hacks to work well enough
to achieve the desired immediate goal -- $NextStreamingService to work
on $SignificantOthersDevice.
But, how much time and effort ins required for each
$NextStreamingService that comes down the pipe and the associated
ill-will of $SignificantOther?

When is the proper time to give up on hacks and take one, relatively
simple, step backwards to avoid all subsequent time / effort / ill-will?
