"Starting to reveal"? The first time Netflix had to remove content from their catalogue because a competing streaming service was getting set up by the license holders, this was both the inevitable and immediately obvious conclusion.

There was a brief utopian moment in time where you could just watch what you wanted, when you wanted, the way you wanted, `from a single service, and then reality kicked back in. In the same way the internet was a weird and free place and then reality went "actually, no, we can make more money if we make it a terrible place and charge you a fee to temporarily make it slightly less terrible for you".
