Don't we have a marketplace already? If we take the game example we have Steam, Origin, Epic, and other stores competing to sell games. There are differences in offerings but they all still do a healthy business.

On the streaming video side it is even harder since we never license or pay for videos, just the ability to watch as long as the service persists.

The cost of production will come down dramatically.

Big name directors like Villeneuve and Nolan are already yelling at the studios, but the days of their massive tent poles are over.

I think we'll probably wind up subscribing to our favorite creators directly.
