Theoretically, having multiple streaming platforms should be good, as it prevents a monopoly. Problem is, they all have monopolies, on specific shows. Choosing the streaming services you want isn't about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have. All streaming shows should have all shows available. That's the only way to properly decide which service is worth paying for

I think we should make publisher/distributer combos illegal, that'll solve the problem real quick.

Want to run a streaming platform? Great, you just can't be a publisher too

Want to make/publish content? Great, you just can't run your own streaming platform

It's how it used to work for the longest time until Comcrap bought TW (Or was it TW buying Comcrap?)

"Cool, Netflix streaming and Natflix publishing are now subsidiaries of Notflix inc. Soon to launch their new 18+ streaming service, Nutflix.."
