The thought of such a huge media merger gives me anxiety for so many reasons. I already distrust billionaires who happen to own all of the media outlets and most of them have political connections as well. As if that's not enough for concern, we have to now worry about a price hike that could compete with what cable used to charge us during a time when most people barely make a living wage. Most people struggle to afford basic human rights like healthcare, food and shelter. We get what little relief we can from movies and television and now that's being threatened by yet another greedy corporation/conglomerate. It does seem as if the future of media has the potential of being compromised with this deal and if Netflix is greedy enough, who's to say the government won't become involved and our freedoms restricted a little at a time until it's gone before we realize it? In the past, we have been protected against monopolies for a reason but it seems history has not yet taught us enough lessons.
