Netflix created the bad but successful template that the other streaming services followed: own the streaming platform and the content -- and now they're suffering for it, and so are consumers.

As a consumer, I don't want to have 5 different streaming services with subs coming and going depending on what shows happen to be in season. I'd rather choose to subscribe to one of various streaming services that in turn let me source content from many providers and just let me pay per show or whatever (maybe after a free first episode or something, I dunno).

In a way I kind of feel bad for Netflix, because they were there "first" and for a long time had maybe one of the more "open" (in terms of content) services. Now the studios are in control again. It's not good for the consumer.
