>>15512072well i think the main issue is that historically speaking these sorts of things end up as monopolies or just 2 big companies and everything else is totally irrelevant. like how dailymotion could disappear overnight without anyone noticing because youtube has orders of magnitude more traffic. same with streaming and twitch/youtube or online shopping and amazon/maybe ebay
the concern isn't that they're losing their place as #1, it's that they had an undisputed stranglehold on the market and that level of brand recognition was a lot of what was keeping them afloat. even if we reach an equilibrium where multiple services are popular, the chances don't look very good for netflix to be one of those services when they have to compete with companies that can just outspend them 100 to 1
yeah i'll admit i realized after posting that uber is just a service, but that's still distinct from the product-as-a-service model and i don't think what they do is comparable to streaming services at all
