> I think the critical mistake that all these megacorps are making is that people don't actually want to pay for a bazillion streaming services.

I don't think anyone is making this mistake. It's just still in their interest to sell that.

And to be quite clear, it doesn't seem like there is a viable alternative that's priced at a level most people are willing to pay.

Of course people want a super convenient option, that's all in one place, and that's cheap to boot. But... it doesn't work economically. People would also want to all be driving Rolls Royces that cost 5 cents. For some reason, when it comes to physical goods, people understand that that's impossible, but when it comes to digital goods, they don't.
