> On the one hand, we got what we asked for: _a la carte_. But we don't. It's worse than ever now. Shows are fragmented into way too many different subcriptions (netflix, etc) each with their monthly fee and a bunch of stuff I won't be watching. True a la carte would mean eliminating all those exlusive distributions so I could get any show from any streaming vendor for a one-off price (say, 25 cents for a show, $2 for a movie, or whatever) without having to subcribe to any recurring service. I've given up, I'm not going to subscribe to half a dozen things, that's way too inconvenient and expensive.
