Sounds like a perfect case for publicly funded infrastructure to me.

> Now we finally have that

We don't. We still have the one or two things we want packaged in with a ton of stuff we don't.

It's actually worse. Each package (subscription platform) has one or two things we want distributed accross all of them, which a bunch of stuff we don't want packaged in.

Not seeing how this is a good system.

Why would it be a case for publicly funded infrastructure? We’re talking about entertainment, not highways or clean water.

As a consumer, yes, I would prefer an option to pay only for the shows I want to watch, but I don’t see why your tax dollars should fund my preferred method of entertainment.

No thanks. My paychecks, after state and fed taxes, fica, retirement, insurance, etc are down to literally half of my actual salary.

I don't want another few percent pilfered so I can subsidize my fellow Americans' NCIS and Dog the Bounty Hunter habits.
