#4Comcast executives are loving this consolidation and price hiking. The great re-bundling and the death of a la carte TV has begun in earnest.

#5I feel bad for Netflix. They pioneered this market segment and now it reached saturation, people are getting tired of streaming fragmentation, their content took a turn for the worse and we are slowly and surely marching towards the next "Netflix of Streaming Services", which is basically Cable over IP.
I wonder of Netflix could have done anything to keep being so far ahead and offer content from so many other companies, or was it always doomed to last just a few years before everyone and their grandma started a streaming service.

Why feel bad? Competition is a good thing. They enjoyed the ride while they could, now they need to fight to win.

Netflix should have bought out NBC, CBS/Paramount, Discovery, or (most significantly) HBO/WB. Or even just their perpetual streaming rights back in the 00's.
Letting Discovery acquire WB was one of the biggest mistakes they've ever made. Just imagine if Netflix had the HBO and WB slate. Game of Thrones, all of DC, Cartoon Network... HBO has the superior content lineup, and they let that slide through their fingers.
They should have bought the LotR rights. They still don't have a major fantasy, sci-fi, or superhero franchise outside of Stranger Things. And that universe is tiny.
Netflix, frankly, does not have content production as a core competency. Most of the shows and films they produce are terrible. Their in-fighting amongst top exec tastemakers is a testament to this fact.

#9Good. This is likely an unpopular opinion but the internet was supposed to bring knowledge, creative expression and so much more to the masses. Instead it devolved into a dopamine delivery machine with non-stop binge consumption and addiction to everyone.

Because Netflix was the competition, the competition for cable and expensive physical media. Now all the companies who took none of that risk are coming into streaming and get to take their IPs off Netflix, copying their system (but worse, Netflix isn't perfect but it has the best interface in my opinion), and taking it back to no real competition just the same big companies there were before with a new platform. And on top of that, a lot of those other companies getting into it are charging a lot more, and some are playing ads even with the subscriptions.
