Robo, I agree with pretty much everything you're saying. My bits are as follows:
1) I don't want politics in my shows. Seriously! If Whichever Streaming Company+ can deliver an entertaining show to me sans the [opinion] politics, and +++ on the entertainment value, I will subscribe. I don't care who delivers it, and the loser will lose, even if that is Apple (as an example, I could care less about Apple News+ or Apple Music—neither provides anything I care about).
2) I will pay for multiples of Whichever Streaming Company+ because I know they will each bring something different to the table. Netflix has plenty of soft-core porn and crazy-ass dramas; Disney has plenty of family-friendly fun and old timer classics; and Apple TV+ has … something.
3) I will pay up to—but not more than—$45/month for a combination of fun things that fill in the one or two hours I have in a given day for Stupid Time®.
4) I would rather spend time in my garden, in my wood shop, or in my Minecraft than on the boob-tube (yes, I'm old and crotchety and I still call it that, so KMA!
) So, it has to bre pretty good to drag me to the couch.
5) I ain't watching adds!
