I’m calling it now. Streaming services are going to continue to double-down on artificial scarcity for flagship shows until we 100% converge on cable. They’re going to reinvent broadcast schedules after slow-drip weekly episode rollouts and half-seasons (you are here) don’t get the results they want.
I was imagining they were eventually going to go bankrupt and consolidate, with their IP ending up in, like, the Disney or Warner vault. Cable has evolved too. I’m not selling here, just explaining. Your streaming service could get offered as part of a cable package or even part of your internet. SaaS is taking over so streaming might just become another part of some software package like a cable channel.
