“More competition” meaning less access, people having to pay for multiple different services instead of having it in one place.

The competition should be about having the best platform, not exclusive content. There’s no reason why the same show couldn’t be on two different platforms. And available globally. Practically, all you really need is more local servers for where there’s more traffic.

Those both sound like competition to me. What you are really asking for is “I want things to be cheaper” which is a separate and sometimes related issue to competition, but separate nonetheless.

The path to lower prices the way you want would be government-mandated price controls on the industry.

Now you’re just talking dirty cause you can.

Mandatory price controls can be tricky economically. I could certainly consider them on thinks required for living (food, housing, fuel), but putting them on optional entertainment like streaming? That sounds very counter productive.
