Definitely worth a comparison to the audio streaming market...
My Spotify subscription is £9.99 and gives me access to unlimited music from all artists (within reason - it’s very unlikely I find something not on there).
I’m willing to pay more for a video subscription that gives me access to unlimited tv and movies.
But to get everything on streaming I have to buy:
- Amazon Subscription
- Netflix Subscription
- Apple TV subscription
- Disney+ Subscription
- Now TV
- TV licence (iPlayer)
And after I have subscribed to all of these, there are still loads of movies and TV shows not covered.
I would pay for one subscription that had the content mixed in. It would be better to have a single £25 contract and get everything rather than this crazy fragmentation where you pay for 80% of the content 4 times and have to get an additional subscription if there is one series you want to watch on a different service.
