@coin It will. In the past there was just very little choice. You either had cable (for example) or you had whatever your antenna could deliver... or no TV at all.
These days either someone needs to figure out some kind of bundled service for all of these completely different streaming companies (Netflix, Prime, HBO+, Disney, etc) which from what I see is fucking unlikely to happen or whoever has a bit of know-how will just pirate the crap out of content.
With Netflix, at least for many people - myself included - it was just... the convenience. It was easier to pay $13/month or whatever to have a lot of crap at my disposal. Some of it (other streamers taking back the rights to stream shows and TVs for themselves) isn't really Netflix's fault... but a lot of it, such as canceling good shows definitely is.
