You're describing cable, and for years we begged for a la carte options to free us from cable packages. I can't fathom going back to paying $80/month for a bunch of crap I'll never watch when I can jump around for a third of that. I'll never argue that what we have is the best solution, but it's a damn sight better than where we came from, at least from a consumer perspective. It perhaps peaked when Netflix was the only game in town with both physical and streaming to get me everything I could ever want for $20/month, but 8 streaming services is still better than shelling out for a cable package.
No, Cable is not where I was going with this. Cable is for profit. 1Stream is non-profit. Cable buys rights to display content and charges flat fees/package. 1Stream would be 'all content media companies want to publish' with no rights fees etc. You would pay for how much you use the service and media companies would earn based on how much their content gets used. That is not how Cable works at all. Most notably: I've said nothing about ads in this mix either although that could be one way for users to pay.
Think YouTube on a grand scheme, but, Steven Spielburg/Paramount Pictures as the CC instead of Pewdiepie
