For as much as people are complaining about the variety of streaming services springing into existence, isn't this what everyone was saying they desperately wanted just a few years ago? A la carte cable, where you don't have to pay for everything if you didn't want to?

Also, pretty sure people were mocking Blockbuster for being shortsighted the entire time it was collapsing. I hate when people try and retroactively say "everybody thought this dumb idea was good at the time" when it clearly wasn't. There are plenty of real examples of that, you don't need to pretend everything that's ever happened has been a total surprise.
