somehow with alternatives to not make a monopoly though, hence why honestly I see piracy as the only ethical way to go (the socialism of streaming services lol)
It’s probably going to take 5-10 years more, but eventually companies will realize that exclusives aren’t worth it for 90% of content and we see streaming look more like the video game console market, with most the content available everywhere and a handful of exclusives per platform.
Consolidation of media companies: BAD
Consolidation of streaming services: GOOD
I just want the content available in a few hands, rather than the hands of the hecatoncheires

Yeah, it’s a fine line. I think we can all agree there are too many streaming services/subscriptions right now.

The problem with that is it would likely require the publishing of watch data, which streamers seem to be hoarding and are unwilling to share.
They’re likely hoarding because it’s not pretty for most shows. It’s likely the same 5 shows that get 90% of view time.
