Yes, but this is a further step to the "cableization" of internet tv. It's really getting to the point where it's not much different than cable. Each network has exclusive shows, so they are not competing on customer experience of the streaming service (such as interface, recommendations, etc.), but on content. This is not necessarily a problem, but it dilutes what some expected from cord-cutting. Now if I want a breadth of content, I need to subscribe to Netflix, HBO, Hulu and possibly some smaller services. That adds up and isn't really as "a la carte" as we wanted, considering the small number of competitors in the space.
Again, it's not bad, per se, but it's not a smorgasbord of content in one service with one interface.
