What we need is two tiered model. Use your favorite frontend, and subscribe to the content networks you want content from. I doubt we get there, but it's certainly possible.

Amazon have something close now in the form of their channels service, which allows you to subscribe to specific providers who’s content then becomes available in the same way as Amazon Prime Video

That still a kinda walled garden. What I'm imagining is like email. You choose your prefered frontend (email client), and pay for x vendors content (email providers). The communication between client and providers is standardized.
