And you know what would be good? Your subscription money will be divided equally between everything you watched that month.

If they want your money, they better make high quality show that's actually interesting.

Let them fight each other for our subscription money.

It's the exclusive deals that fuel the fragmentation. If you could watch the same content on any streaming service, you wouldn't need to subscribe to a half dozen (or turn to piracy).

Of course that's exactly why Netflix, Prime, Apple, et al started making their own exclusive content that they totally control.
