The streaming wars seem to be settling into a slog. I dunno how other folks do it, but I sign up for a month and cancel before the next. Netflix once had a near lock on all the content, but now it's so scattered but there is no real reason to pay for multiple services at once.
Anyhoo, as broadcast and cable content producers feel the pinch, I wonder if there will be less content to re-host on various streaming services.
The strikes will definitely put a damper on new content over the next 12-18 months.
IMO most of the quality episodic programming over the last few years has been from streaming services, so I’m not too worried about broadcast/linear tv dying off.
I'm gonna be honest, I gave up on streaming years ago. All TV I watch these days I download to my Plex server
