Theoretically, having multiple streaming platforms should be good, as it prevents a monopoly. Problem is, they all have monopolies, on specific shows. Choosing the streaming services you want isn't about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have. All streaming shows should have all shows available. That's the only way to properly decide which service is worth paying for

But then they'd have to compete on features and usability, and no company wants that. They prefer to set up roadblocks and extract tolls.

Imagine selling a service by virtue of the quality of your service. Ridiculous

Netflix is literally 6x more expensive while having like 6x less content too. and the content they do produce is garbage.

What do you mean, they have lots of good shows that get cancelled after one season with the story on a cliff hanger
