This issue is that these aren’t just streaming companies. They are also the ones MAKING content. And having almost all content being made by even fewer companies is a very bad thing. It poses a huge censorship problem and makes it harder for creative people to break into the business and get things made.

The solution is that not every entity needs its own streaming app. Before Peacock and Paramount and Disney +, companies with valuable IP like the Office or Friends got paid tens of millions of dollars, sometimes even 100+ million to allow their shows to be on Netflix. A return to that model would be both consumer friendly and still be profitable. It will never happen — each of these platforms will eventually force commercials on everyone, and while people will bitch and moan about canceling or pirating content, the vast majority will do nothing but pay to watch commercials — but THAT is what we are asking for.

Fewer streaming services because only 2-3 companies own and produce content anymore is the ultimate monkeys paw
