Why are you typing like that?  

Why?  I don't see how less competition is good for the consumer.  

It's pretty obvious. Some competition is great. But, when there is too much, especially with these streaming services, things aren't great.

Everyone's seeing the success of Netflix and Hulu, and instead of just getting paid to put there content on there for everyone, they want a bigger piece of the pie. So, now everyone is removing content or making it too expensive for those services to pay for that content and keep their sub price low, moving it to their own service instead.

We are actually getting to the point where it is more expensive to sub to all of these services than it was to have a decent cable package. Something that wasn't supposed to happen with this great streaming future.

That makes no sense in this case.  This wasn't a service that fractured the market, it was a service that tried to be inclusive.  It was the opposite of what you're saying.
