I'm sure the next step will be to require annual subscriptions. Amazon Prime has already normalized it.

  >Amazon Prime has already normalized it. many people might have prime on an annual basis but amazon seems content with offering prime on a monthly basis as well. In fact the only way to get prime video (without prime) is monthly. https://www.amazon.com/amazonprime https://www.amazon.com/amazonprime

    Indeed. I historically have gotten Prime for a month around Christmas shopping season each year, and that's been more than enough Prime for me.

  In my opinion the next step is going to be what network TV did. Single episodes available for a week, then available in reruns a year later. You can see the beginnings of this in shows like “The Boys” that have a weekly release cycle.

    Services have been doing that for a while though... it's to prevent you from joining on a mass drop, binging the season then only staying for a month... with a 10 week run, you're subscribed for 3 months... and you can watch the back catalog any time. Even Netflix has shifted their drops this way.

    To be honest, for some shows, I prefer a weekly release schedule over release of everything at once. It gives you a chance to discuss an episode with friends and speculate about what will happen next.
