> I wouldn't write them off yet. Disney, Apple and Amazon seem the only real competitors as this is a game of scale.

Their play here might just be waiting for Paramount+ and Peacock to throw in the towel and license their catalogs.

As a consumer that's exactly what I'm waiting for, I don't need yet another streaming service. Would rather save my money and let those niche streams starve

Exactly; what we all want is a Spotify/Apple Music situation for video streaming, but it sadly never happened. This is where I'd like government to step in and require content licensing. If you offer it on your platform or for physical sale, you have to offer it to other streaming providers at a reasonable (this is complicated) price.

That would break lots of copyright laws.
