Streaming platforms should not be allowed to produce content and vice-versa. That’s how it was with movie theaters. Ever wondered why there are no Paramount theater, or MGM theater and so on? Because studios aren’t allowed to own theaters.

As of 2020 move studios can own theaters

Sad to think people might switch to watching meaningless uncanny valley slop. Then again reality TV won over shows with actual vision.
