Already going "hybrid" when it comes to content and Netflix only survived the last round because family members voted "stay". Not sure about the next time, especially since their little fabricated "crackdown" on sth. that was once not only tolerated, but actively encouraged definitely rubbed me the wrong way.
Streamers are currently benefiting from the actors strikes as no new content is being bought and made while they continue to receive subscription payments for old content.
This, and price hiking is simply greed, nothing more.

Don't care, fired them two years ago.
The whole industry is a profit driven capitalistic trap to squeeze as much monies from us as possible. The same companies behind extortionate CD / DVD prices and market control are behind the streaming services. While the coast is still semi-clear and we can pirate what we want, they've slowly infiltrated the governments around the globe and introduced stupid copyright laws so that they can go after the common man. I expect that the future is bleak, with more governments succumbing to the industry's lobbying and making it harder for the average user to pirate, so much so, that we'll be forced to pay as much as they ask us
Arrrrr!
You literally Google, Kodi or Jellyfin whenever you want, and start building your own media library. Then you can cancel all these crazy subscriptions and just enjoy your shows/ films
Why join NAVY when you can be a pirate..
