I really think the streaming services have collectively re-created pre-Internet cable television in many respects. If you add up the cost of subscribing to the top six or so streaming services, I believe it's similar to a single cable TV subscription in the old era. Similarly, each service has a handful of quality shows scattered amidst a vast sea of low-quality B-movie type material.
What's really odd is that they don't have what anyone would consider a normal searchable database of movies, they're very much into pushing recommendations using their biased AI learning models. Compared to IMDB their interfaces are all incredibly non-user-friendly.
