I agree! We've already been down this road so many times.
There's a regulation that Movie Studios cannot own Movie Theaters. You can go see movies from every studio at any theater near you, which makes them compete on the quality of the experience and price instead of just movie selection.
Online streaming needs that same regulation. Disney should not be allowed to operate a streaming service. Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime Video would all need to be broken up into the studio and the streaming platform. They should have to distribute their content to streaming services who then can compete on cost and UX. Then the studios would WANT to maximize the number of platforms their content appears on.
This would be a huge win for everyone involved except Disney/Netflix/Amazon. Consumers would get true competition between platforms on price and experience. The content producers would get a lot more reach for their content. And Disney doesn't get to yank all their movies off Netflix to seek rent on their own platform.
