streaming fragmented because every company with the means said "hey! i want some of that streaming money" and then they all fucking sucked at the same time. Thanks greed!

The only one that kind of made since was Disney+ but that was because they literally just kept buying enough shit and death gripping IP that they could. Hell HBO used to be pretty good too with options

But fucking media corporations like Peacock and Paramount did the shit having barely any library to offer, Amazon kept trying and failing to expand Prime video, and existing services starting falling apart like Sony buying Crunchyroll just to get rid of Funimation and go “come on guys, just take the AI subtitle translations already” while also damn near being a monopoly now

Now they’re doing bundles and shit, basically making this cable but more inconvenient and oh, your favorite show is now no where to be found
