Can't read the article (acts like it's paywalled but the paywall doesn't even come up,maybe ad blocking is borking it), but let me guess... Every time a show gets big, someone splits it off into a new sub service, and people are getting sick of that shit and pulling the plug on the people they pulled the plug on cable for...

My kids hit me up for yet another subscription last week, because they wanted to watch a show. I was very close to cancelling everything instead, and teaching them some slightly sketchy skills, but I took the "high road" on it. They're getting close to the age where that ain't gonna happen anymore though :)

Consolidate yo shit media dudes. You got a finite limit on how many pieces of the pie can exist. When the slices get too small because you cut it into too many slices, nobody buys a slice anymore...

I will pay for one streaming service, if your content isn't available on there it will be on my jellyfin and my kids are happy to use that.

This is roughly where I'm at. I'm paying for one, maybe two. That's it. After that I'm not gonna waste my time, esp. when a VPN is cheaper and can give me better overall service.

Who even needs a VPN?
