    The big difference is exclusive content. Music has a few exceptions but in general sign up for one service and you can listen to anything.

    That forces music services to compete on the overall experience (and price), while video services pretty much exclusively compete based on what content is available and literally none of them offer all of the things a person wants to watch. So nobody will ever be happy with any streaming service.

      I think exclusive content is only a symptom of the larger problem, which is that we’re letting movie production companies run their own (new-fangled versions of) theaters again.
