If it was like game consoles, where there were 3 or 4 streaming services that shared 90% of the same shows and each had a small number of exclusives, I doubt it would be a problem. That’s not the situation… there’s tens of streaming services each with their own completely proprietary library, and all of them want $15-$25 / mo. It’s cable TV all over again. Cable TV got away with it because the alternative was video rental stores, though. Now, we have plenty of less scrupulous options.
