So the solution is ad supported services, if I understood the takeaway of the article? Because that's no solution I'm willing to participate in.
you could mix the two concepts... ad-free subscription service and residuals/licensing based on viewership.
it's not like the subscription services don't have the metrics to take a piece of the subscription money coming in, and divvy it up based on total views each title gets each month.
Yeah, that would probably level everything out, but I'm guessing that these subscription services are trying to avoid becoming the open book that Hollywood is. If you're visibly the 4th most successful streaming service, customers might start to bandwagon.
