The streaming market is splintered to max and oversaturated by content. The bubble already burst and now people are cordcutting again or fleeing to independent content. Absolutely nobody wants ads back and all companies do is push them on users for ever more revenue. The model only worked because it wasn't as inconvenient and full of ads as traditional paytv/cable.
So now we've gone full circle and back to lobbies who at some point will undoubtedly create streaming-packages that will include a certain set of partenered services. Can't wait for the +1000€ per year -T-mobile-package-plan! Apart from Spotify who have kept their "affordable music streaming for 9.99€" promise over the last 10 years....the motion picture models have just become more expensive and user-unfriendly!
My parents are paying for YouTube TV through their T-Mobile subscription 🤦♂️
