I agree. There is definitely a market for a streaming bundling service where you pay for a bundle and get subscribed to multiple services for some monthly fee which would be at a great discount to subscribing separately to each service.

You could call it "TV over Wires" or something like that.

Yeah, then comes the inevitable attempt at squeezing more money from people through aggressive market segmentation, and we're back to square one, except now you can reorder programming in time without using a VCR.

I don't think Netflix and Disney will be too happy to hear that one customer is watching 100000 videos per day.

the real question is if it's possible to make the bundle popular without having to discount!

I think the question boils down to the gym membership oversubscription model. People can’t consume (serially) all they subscribe to, but on average might consume X%, Y% & Z% of different streams but the sum is less than 100% of all the streaming services added together.

i would assume the price of the streaming services already take this into account, but i could be wrong of course.
