I currently subscribe to all three of these and Amazon Prime, and it's less than 1/6 of what I paid for directTV before cutting the cord 9 years ago, and I don't even always keep my subscriptions active all year. I like this way better, and there can be lots of winners. No way one streaming service can provide and create everything. Plus that's not good either, choice is better.

The problem is that you're not comparing like for like. All these services are in growth phase now, they're pricing their services to compete. The problem is that once they've all topped out and growth isn't happening anymore the way they'll continue revenue growth is by slowly increasing the cost per customer. So yeah, right now it's cheaper, but in 10 years time you're going to be exactly back where we were. Right now you're benefitting from a bunch of venture capital, but don't think that the position you're in right now is going to last.
