While there are a lot of problems with this growth in digital walled gardens, one flipside is that it heavily incentivizes the development of killer content, much like how Console makers have extensive lineups of first party games that are often better funded and given more support then 3rd party titles.
Maybe this is wrong.
Perhaps we, the demos should be demanding a sort of "least favoured nation" [do I mean 'most'?] deal where content owners have to make works available to all streamers at the same rate. Disney sell to Disney Streaming Channel? They also have to sell to $streamingChannel at the same rate, then people can watch copyright content without channels manipulating the market by restricting access.
Then, if they don't want to follow that rule we should say 'fine, no copyright for you'.
Seems fair to me. I'm already so over every streaming channel monopolising content.
This is entirely my personal opinion.
