Streaming has become remarkably easy, all in one place and free. No need to even sail any seas these days.

I wonder if all the companies considered that as they raised prices and divided the user base.....

They all think they can win the streaming wars and become what Netflix was. They're willing to sacrifice customer convenience in pursuit of that.
