The ‘larger fish will eat the smaller fish’ and then, almost ‘magically’, there will be ‘seven’.
Then, three.
Then, ‘One’.

Simple corporate collusion gradually unfolding to ‘legally’ monopolize popular media and entertainment.

We switched to OTA broadcasts in 2012 and 1 paid streaming service for $10-ish/month. That's 1 login. We don't sign up for any other accounts free or not. Every few months, we talk about canceling Amazon and switching to some other paid streaming service for a few months, but never get around to it.
There are basically 4 massive media companies in the US. They won't sell to each other. ABC, NBC/Comcast, AT&T, and CBS. If following the money for most other channels, you'll see their parent company ends up being one of those 4, almost always. There are exceptions, but not many.

7 is still too many for me, including all kinds of media I have 3 subscriptions active (4 at some times).
