MODERATORS
I'm always surprised when people propose monopolies as if a) they're good, and b) that's not what everyone in the game right now is trying to provide.
Everyone wants to be the one collecting the subscription fee. No one wants to be the one trusting the guy collecting the subscription fee to give them a fair cut.
I'm always surprised too. At least the market is sorta working.
In a lot of ways Netflix won. Many people aren't going to bother pirating their content and would rather just pay or at least subscription hop. We're in the greed portion of streaming where everyone wants a bigger and bigger slice. If Netflix did not create original content, I'm not sure they'd still be around.
I don't propose a monopoly but a common platform. The platform doesn't create content. The creators don't fragment the market.
And I say this as an answer to the problem content creators have. Not from the user POV.
