“You must mean, like Netfix’s own productions.”

Which they were forced to start producing because all the other content producers started clawing back their content to put on their own streaming services. That’s why you can’t watch Star Wars and Marvel movies on Netflix anymore, etc.

That’s not a model that is going to work. People won’t pay for 10 subscriptions to watch what they used to be able to watch with 1 subscription.

“How did the music industry arrive at their distribution model?”

Spotify just broke the law and started distributing all the music that anyone wanted to listen to for a reasonable fee. Ostensibly they claimed they would be paying royalties to the artists out of those fees but really what they were doing was totally illegal. However, they became so popular that the music industry decided it was better to negotiate with them for a piece of the pie rather than destroy them like napster.

What you’re telling us in interesting!

What if the one subscription costs $100. Ouch! All I want is older and foreign (British and Australian) content. Maybe a cheaper option for that stuff.

Amazon Prime which has picked up BritBox is in there now. I don’t see their streaming service disappearing.
