MGM controls a massive library of shows and movies. Many are or have been on Amazon videos competitors. These will, likely, all disappear from competitors in the same way Disney is rounding their carriages. The root of the problem is that all of these platforms users are harmed by the siloed nature of the industry, in more or less the same ways. A better solution for the customer would be something akin to the way licensing works in the music industry. Let everyone host everything, charge what they will, and pay fixed royalties out of their income. I'm not an economist, lawyer, musician or whatever. I'm just a very disgruntled consumer that's seen the potential of the streaming industry get destroyed by greed and overpaid lawyers. There are many shows and movies that are, for no good reasons, only available on aftermarket listings for old vhs, and sometimes dvd. Finding these alternatively is even difficult. Companies could be working on UX, social functions, or recommendation algorithms but instead they're lighting money on fire to license a revolving pile of meh that'll juice their subscribers enough to hit their quarterly metrics. I'm entirely disinterested in googling where to stream every show and movie and pay between mandatory ads, and North of $5/episode to watch a show on whichever provider has the rights to stream it. It's such a poor experience that I've returned to a personal media library and have opted out of the streaming industry entirely.
