People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I’ve noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn’t that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn’t be much stopping them from raising prices even more.
If there was an aggregator of sorts that would charge let’s say even $25 to watch whatever I’d pay happily. That’s what Netflix kinda was before other streaming services started popping up and each asking for a hefty fee.
Yeah we need Spotify-like video streaming services already. Let them compete over features and price rather than exclusive content.
And yet even Spotify has started having exclusive content in the form of certain podcasts. Only a matter of time before they do it with music too.
I would be happy to use a service that auto subscribes for a month when I play content but also auto cancels renewal.
I’m happy to pay for them when I use them but if I don’t happen to use one for a month it would be great to skip that bill.
Id even settle for a “master” app that just lets me log all my accounts into it and lets me search for whatever I want and if it isnt on something I have tells me what service its on.
You may already have this. FireStick does this, Apple TV so does this, I’m pretty sure Roku does this …… my problem is the opposite: I want to search only the content accessible with what I already pay. I’m tired of search being an upsell
