You could actually go even further and draw more parallels between newspapers and streaming (especially podcasts). Yeah, you could store huge archives of old newspapers that are difficult to organize and look after. But it was fundamentally ephemeral, printed on cheap paper and all. And, that nature lent itself to a business model that lasted many decades. (Newspaper companies would have had a hard time surviving, after all, if you just kept reading the same twenty papers from your bookshelf)
