Yea, I can pay 7 different services 10$ a month just so I can keep access to the tv shows I like. And pay another 10$ a month per service if I want it in decent quality. And install 7 different slow af apps to use them... and I'll have to hope they just darn cast to the tv this time.

Aw dangit my show isn't on Netflix.. Hulu? no, amazon prime? ah Disney+ perhaps? Ow wait no I have to sign into the tv for that one, where's the darn remote. Oh man, they discontinued one of my shows, I was halfway through!

Oh hey, totally_royalty_free.mp4 is on this 2nd result on google. Adblock does it's job, nice. I wish Netflix was still this convenient. Why can't billion dollar companies work together?

Agree on everything, except

They do work together, just not publicly.

Looks bad when all the banks, supermarkets, insurance companies, oil and gas cartels set their own rules in mateship. So its purposely hidden, oh yes we are definitely in competition when its a duolopy/oligarchy *wink wink
