People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I’ve noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn’t that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn’t be much stopping them from raising prices even more.

    Yeah we need Spotify-like video streaming services already. Let them compete over features and price rather than exclusive content.

      And yet even Spotify has started having exclusive content in the form of certain podcasts. Only a matter of time before they do it with music too.
