Amazon does exactly this

Yes, and many others too. But most people seem to use subscriptions instead.

And that's just a price thing

I simply won't pay 10€ for a tv series I would binge in 3 days while in background

That's unfortunate. It would have cost way more before streaming.

The point is that you don't have to compete with low production budget TV anymore , you have to compete with high quality, limitless and free youtube videos

Your value proposition has to be good.

Cinema is still around because it offers a good experience and exclusivity ( while you can see a film online the day after it came out of the cinema the quality is really bad)
