While TV mega-conglomerates transition into the future focusing on what they think works best for their business model to maintain/increase revenue, others like myself see what it should be, access to everything whenever access is wanted. "Unraveling" television isn't what's happening, it's a huge knot that needs to be cut out. Netflix is now successful as a content producer, not just a distributor. Netflix has become a channel, and I'm okay with a handful of channels that collectively have all of the content that I get to choose which I subscribe. Make it simple: Two all you can eat options: 1) Subscription w/ no ads 2) No subscription w/ ads. - Any pre-recorded video content should be on demand through a subscription service or rental service. - Any live content should be streamed online, with rental/purchase access for the time of the content, unless content is under one of the subscription umbrellas - Implement better filtering systems to find content based on studio, talent, reviews/ratings, date, and the other categories already established - Major networks need to pull the bandaid off, and stop this confusing business of licensing per device (content removal after expiration, only on web not on mobile) While I understand this is easier said than done, we all know what the best experience would be in the end, and eventually we'll get there, but communicating that to the TV heads of yesterday shouldn't take stripping them of viewers and revenue by moving over to services such as Netflix. It's such a slow transition this way.
