    Streaming platforms should not be allowed to produce content and vice-versa. That’s how it was with movie theaters. Ever wondered why there are no Paramount theater, or MGM theater and so on? Because studios aren’t allowed to own theaters.

      It’s basically the Live Nation/TIcketmaster issue. They sell the tickets to the events at venues they own. Conflict of interest much?

        Live nation/ticketmaster is worse than that, if you try to open a venue without giving then a cut in some way they’ll blacklist you from the industry.
