I don't know what the streaming services have been paying for their content, so its hard to evaluate whether the content has been given away below FMV. However, I do know that the way things are moving now into everyone and their dog having their own streaming brand is also not going to work long term. Not for me, and not for anyone else either. No-one wants to subscribe to 101 different services. Either there will be some sort of reconsoliation, or we'll resort to buying shows a-la-carte, or people will switch services every week, or as a last resort back to piracy.

Imagine if someone came along and bundled all the streaming services into one.

or make all content available on demand from any service. the streaming brand isn't important beyond reliable delivery. each show has value to a limited set of viewers. The maximize revenue for piece of content, make it available to any streaming service and deliver it anyway they want, price per plate, monthly fee, with advertising.

Last resort? Nah, minor inconvenience and I’ll go back to sailing.

I agree with your main point.

FWIW, FMV is agnostic of cost.
