What we actually need is a ban on exclusivity. There aren't nearly as many complaints about music streaming services because most music is on all of them.

Plus if more TV and movies were on multiple streaming services, they'd have to start competing on service instead of exclusive content and maybe actually improve the experience...

I keep thinking that too but I highly doubt greedy hollywood execs will attempt anything like that..

Take a read through https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Paramount_Pictures,_Inc.

Real shame this was terminated rather than extended to streaming platforms.
