With streamers like Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max growing increasingly expensive, subscribers need to think about what they really want and need from these services.
Laws around content producers distributing their own content so we end up with every company with it’s own streaming service. That way we would have 3rd party ones that have all the content and we can choose based on platform features rather than content being held hostage.
I’m sure it would be difficult and maybe impossible to do in practice but I can dream right.
Isn’t that what cable channels were before? I guess some channels were owned by production companies (or at least co-owned), but a lot needed to be licensed. That’s still kind of the case with older shows on today’s streaming platforms, but the self-produced garbage does indeed seem to dominate.
