Also the content production ecosystem is currently reliant on big successes making up for failures and/or niche content. That's why cable companies bundle channels together instead of letting you pick and choose the ones you want. If it wasn't for this, the industry would become even more risk-averse, and we would see a lot less diversity of content, or risky unproven ventures. In the end I believe this would be a net loss to everyone.
