Most of the streaming services are going to get swallowed up, it's just untenable at the moment. They try advertising, but that was one of the main reasons people left network TV in the first place. No-one is prepared to invest in subscriptions to watch all the content on all streaming services. Also, it requires all your friendship circle to have the same subscriptions or people are just going to say, nope, not seen that, so shows lose out on word of mouth recommendation (free advertising).

My guess is they will start charging a re-connect fee to discourage people cancelling a sub and re-enlisting when their favourite series come back on.

For me, the only winners are the pirates
