Completely agree, but they never seem to learn.

The plumbing companies (like Netflix) look jealously at the content producers, and they desperately want that sweet content revenue.

The content producers (like Disney) look jealously at the plumbing companies, and they desperately want that sweet plumbing revenue.

Sometimes grabbing for the other revenue stream works out (like for Netflix) but most of the time it doesn't.

Disney was so eager to get into the plumbing business that it forgot how to create compelling content and now it can't do either.

If anyone is genuinely curious, you're looking for "south park panderverse".
