Yeah. Not that I'm against more competition in the market, but it feels like in this case it's only going to cost us more money by splitting more and more popular shows into their own streaming services.

Indeed. If you like anime, wrestling, and Star Trek in addition to whatever Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video have and don't want to miss any of what you like, here's what you'll need:

Netflix: $11 ($14 for premium)
Hulu: $8 ($12 for commercial-free)
WWE Network: $10
CBS All-Access: $6 ($10 for commercial-free)
Crunchyroll: $7
Amazon Prime (needed for Video): $8.25 or $11
Anime Strike (Amazon Video channel): $5

So, we're talking at minimum $55 in subscriptions, potentially up to $69. That's approaching basic cable subscription prices. And it's just going to keep getting worse as everyone wants a slice of the pie and we see more and more streaming services pop up.

Someone should package them all and sell them as a separate subscription. Then with profits, lobby to have separate services banned from broadcast into various regions of the world - so consumers will have to pay for bundles. The model's genius! No one has ever thought of it before!
