I think there's an argument to be made that the platforms have been pouring in so much money trying to win the streaming wars that they haven't considered the fact of whether the income from subscriptions is actually sufficient to fund this level of content creation spread across so many platforms.

Consumer will only subscribe to so many services, and while I don't know that equilibrium is, I'm pretty sure it's lower than what we have right now.
