But what about content quality? Movies are mostly rubbish at the moment. Either redone old stuff or comic related because of the torrent effect - it's the only way studios can make money.
There's an argument that music has gone downhill also because of it. You either do well as a band with the first two albums and translate that into tour money or you are gone. I can't imagine that a lot of artists that don't make tour money like Enya would ever emerge these days - no matter how good their studio stuff is.
Quality series creation driven by money flowing from streaming services is one of the few bright sparks in quality entertainment these days other than gaming. If everyone decides to pirate the crap out of that we end up essentially with middle of the road rubbish as we basically are at the cinema now.
I get the frustration about needing to have so many services, it feels like we have just uninvented cable to reinvent it again (I'm waiting for places to start selling packages of streaming) but the benefit at least has been in programming.
