It‘s always interesting when people like monopolies one day and call for antitrust the next.
Besides data sovereignty and user manipulation, the relationship between competition and convenience seems like the biggest issue in tech now. And there are no real solutions. It‘s obvious why tech is so consolidated. Marginal cost of growth is pretty much zero. 2 to 3 platform for a given use case might be the most „efficient“.
Chances are that quite a few of the new streaming services will disappear/consolidate soon enough.
- imtyler 7y agoI'm a fan of what Disney did with MoviesAnywhere-- buy a movie once and it becomes playable through all participating linked providers. So you can, for instance, buy a movie on Amazon and play it back on iTunes. The catch being that it only applies to movie purchases by participating studios. No rentals, subscription based streaming, or TV shows. But imagine if that's how other services worked. One can always dream.
