Why do people complain about multiple streaming platforms existing? - eviltoast

People (including me) complain about monopolies all the time for various reasons. At the same time, I’ve noticed a ton of complaints about the existence of multiple streaming platforms. But isn’t that a good thing at the end of the day? If streaming platforms consolidated into 2-3 companies, there wouldn’t be much stopping them from raising prices even more.

    I would be happy to use a service that auto subscribes for a month when I play content but also auto cancels renewal.

    I’m happy to pay for them when I use them but if I don’t happen to use one for a month it would be great to skip that bill.
