Compete on the service. All streamers have access to stream essentially whatever and they compete on price, quality and value added service.
Music streaming is almost there imo, if they paid the artists more, you want the highest quality? Go to tidal. You want infinite playlists? Deezer flow is where to go. You want podcasts? Spotify... I kid, Spotify's ease of conectivity is an industry envy. But they all have, essentially, the same music, if you allow essentially to do some work.
I'm an outlier in that I buy music on Bandcamp. Renting music feels like a bad deal to me, but for some people it might work out.
I think I repeat listen to albums a lot more than I repeat watch stuff.
Still, I'd consider a service that was like "pay $10 for this movie and it's yours, drm free, forever". A quick search shows WandaVision on DVD is like $50, and you'd have to like rip and self host yourself to stream it.
I think the subscription model is often user hostile, but it's very lucrative
Deezer flow has completely replaced commercial radio for me, except the DJ is at my behest. I listen to the radio at work and while driving, then albums at home.
Exactly, most of my irl friends pirate shows/tv but they all have spotify. Im considered "extra" by them for pirating music
