Pretty much how I see it. I'm happy to pay if you make it easy for me to get what I want.

I reckon that all the streaming services should agree on a standard for distribution via their API's so that third parties can write better front ends that can connect to and search all of the services you are subscribed to.

So I would: - Subscribe to Netflix - Subscribe to Disney - Install my streaming frontend of choice - Connect both services either using an API key or PIN or SSO, etc

Now I can give them my money every month and have one interface to access all the services.

Sure, they may want to offer different features to differentiate their brand but that can be accounted for to some degree in the agreed standard.

Or something. I dunno what's going to fix this miss.

So an online cable company? I was wondering if I'd see the day where the "buy from one get access to all" content consumption model came back, but applied to streaming services.
