The films and shows that are "streaming-only" in 2019 are the equivalent of "straight-to-DVD" in the 00s.

Besides marquee projects like House of Cards, Fleabag etc, the vast majority of original programming on these networks are badly made formulaic pap with actors no-one's ever heard of. Were it not for the recommendation algorithm (and the removal of the user reviews), I doubt anybody would bother watching them.
