It seems strange to consider that at one time, streaming was seen as a revolutionary idea. It was going to change the realm of entertainment. Instead what we got is basically the continuation of what we saw with Cable TV. Cable became the same as broadcast, lacking any sort of vitality to it.
Streaming is becoming the same thing. Who is to blame? It is Netflix of course.
Netflix was on top like a Monarch on this throne.
Now that it has been on top for so long, it feels little need for any innovation.
Streaming used to be interesting but now it is becoming more like the old television model. Such a state of affairs is a reason why people are starting to migrate to freemium streaming or even platforms with just ads on content which is offered with advertising to pay for the cost of running the servers.
Netflix’s grip on streaming has taken a toll on actors and people writing these stories. Until we have actual power shifting in this area, streaming will continue to be a wasteland of missed opportunities.
It is time for streaming services to start actually competing and innovating in this space.
