I know how to solve this! We'll just bundle a bunch of them together, and offer a slight discount over the cost of paying for them all individually. Maybe offe

  Cable was bad because of forced ads, forced bundles, no on demand, and long term contracts. None of those are seen in the streaming industry. This "streaming is cable 2.0" meme doesn't make sense to me.

    Cable was originally free no? Lets see where we end up in 20 years

      I don't think cable was ever free. Broadcast tv was (and still is) free.

    These things are becoming a reality for streaming. As the prices go up, and the content becomes broken up between more and more services, 2 things happen: * The idea of a bundle that saves you money, adds convenience and leaves you less caught out when licenses change hands compared to 20+ individual subscriptions becomes more and more tempting * The 6-month and 12-month plans for these services are much cheaper and become more appealing. Back when it was only netflix at $7, there was no need for a bundle or a 12-month plan. But when it's all these services at $15 each, a 12-month long bundle would save a lot of money in the long run. Bundles may not exist yet, but they will. Mark my words.

      What's wrong with bundles? The issue is forced bundles that requires you to buy content you don't want.
