    It’s just cable tv all over again. Pay for 8 services to get a handful of shows you want to watch with the other 90% not being touched , now with ads creeping back in too .

      at least you can choose to pay for one streamer at a time, binge, switch, repeat.

      (for now, anyway… until they all quit the full season drops and/or start putting their catalog on a rotation like the ‘disney vault’ was to home video).

          they’d go a ‘no refunds’ policy first, which they’d totally get away with in the u.s.

          Yeah, this is what is next. Another thing might be to split up one service into subcategories, like family, sci-fi, cinema or whatever and then charging for each individually. Obviously ending up more expensive if you get them all than what it is now.
