    It’s probably going to take 5-10 years more, but eventually companies will realize that exclusives aren’t worth it for 90% of content and we see streaming look more like the video game console market, with most the content available everywhere and a handful of exclusives per platform.

      The problem with that is it would likely require the publishing of watch data, which streamers seem to be hoarding and are unwilling to share.
