That's unfortunate. I hate seeing this news because it means that all the other streaming platforms are going to follow suit soon, which brings us right back to cable, essentially. Must subscribe to 5 different streaming services each in order to have access to all the programming you want, no more splitting up accounts with friends.
Glad that I just setup a Plex server, looks like I'm gonna need it.
I am kinda hoping that with increased revenue, they can afford to get more licences for other content. But I think the video streaming services is too fragmented now for that to be a reality. Unlike audio streaming where it’s a lot more sensible.
Really, the only way to get the streaming in order is a law where a company that makes films and TV cannot distribute it. That'd get rid of the company-only model and get us to a decent concentration.
