Netflix was great until everyone else caught up in the streaming war. Everyone else holds the licensing authority and they don’t give Netfli what they want. Plus, Netfix keeps killing their popular original content for reasons that fans don’t understand.

Music on the other hand is so strange and different. I knew the big 4 tried again and again in 2000s to offer form of music store but failed. Since none of the existing large music streaming services (YT. apple, Spotify) license, labels are happy to hand them licensing agreements.

Everyone else jumped on the video service bandwagon because they wanted to kill off netflix and bring us back to the days of cable TV. It's slowly working, and netflix being terrible at producing quality content for their library, littering the service with more and more ads, and refusing to give users features they've been asking for, all while jacking up prices is only helping.
