It's not a profitable model without ads and/or long term subscriptions. Also, the idea that all the season's shows are dropped in one day makes it very hard to finance since you don't know demand before hand. It takes too much money upfront. Lastly, not being able to hype-up a new show by advertising it through other shows makes the possibility of a hit series a bigger gamble than ever before. Given a few more years we'll see streamers adopt all of these ideas in order to become profitable. Also, we'll see the number of streams be reduced via mergers. Basically, we'll have cable 2.0. And, the quality will continue to decline unless the workers involved can make a good living. The available pool of workers will pick other fields of work where they can make a living.
