We used to have that. It was called cable. And for years people said "ugh why do I need to pay for espn why can't I just subscribe to the parts I want". And now we are closer to that world and everybody is saying "ugh why do I need to subscribe to different services why can't I just pay more for a service with everything".

Cable was/is extremely dissimilar to an on-demand streaming service, regardless of selection.
