I think the dream was that Netflix would actually become the one-stop-shop for absolutely everything old and new. That you could watch the latest GoT as well as get your fix of all of the old Schwarzenegger movies for 10 bucks a month. Obviously that never worked out. For me it's clear that in the near future every production house will have its own streaming service and they will essentially become stream-channels once an aggregator comes in and gives you a package deal. You'll save 10% if you bundle up 10 different streaming services, etc. I'm sure the next step after that will be to re-introduce commercials? Why not profit even more by having people pay monthly and serve them ads at the same time? At that point the cycle will restart as a new wave of piracy will begin because obviously people don't want to pay a fortune to watch ads and have access to a bunch of crap they never watch.
