Your argument may have held weight in the past, but now, anyone can distribute video without going through the cable providers regular cable distribution. It’s quite simple technically to provide on demand video at scale, including creating apps for all the platforms. The only issue now is when/if cable companies as internet providers start deprioritizing competitors.

Its really not simple, technically. So I don't understand what you're saying.

It really is. You can use manage services through AWS to set this up at almost any scale including encoding, transcoding, global CDNs, etc.

I don't think you understand what simple means for the vast majority of Americans.

The vast majority of Americans aren’t trying to release content that would have been delivered via cable. Except maybe the public access channels.

That content can be uploaded to YouTube.
