And the weird part of it all is how they have all moved to more and more restrictive paywalls over this time period.
Why would I maintain 5-10 subscriptions for content that is 80% the same?
I think the streaming video services are speed running the same issue.
As a very casual TV watcher, why would I bother to pay $10ish each to NFLX, Disney, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount, HBO, Apple for the 1-2 shows each I may care about.
In a way its not even the total cost, its maintaining accounts/billing info/worrying about cancellation policies across a dozen companies.
