The "entire idea" of the Internet, as far as I'm concerned, is computers talking to each other over a common network. The rest is all crap we made up to layer over it. Both disintermediation and aggregation have been essential forces in the information culture built upon the Internet from the early days. Both serve an useful purpose, and both have their dark sides as well. Netflix is of course free to make and sell their own content how they wish, as is Disney. But the value proposition of Netflix started with syndicated content, and that proposition is diminished the less you find such content on it. At some point, you have to ask whether it's still worth the monthly subscription, or if you should take your money over to the other streaming services instead – each with its own slightly different and uniquely-broken interface, I should add.
