    Who the fuck pays for more than one at a time anyway, I don’t mind fragmentation because I have no loyalty to one service and will move to one to watch it’s stuff, then move when i get bored of what it has to offer. Competition is always good. We shouldn’t have monopolies in any industry, including streaming

      Competition in a streaming service is an illusion that makes the overall service worse and more expensive. And it’s probably not viable long term. Why? Because there is no competition for any one show. If the platform were all streaming the same shows, that would be competition. Instead they simply share the service with each platform having its monopoly on the shows it streams.
