Apple wants to suck the soul out of everyone.
The one ring to rule them all.
These companies are looking to control too many services. We as consumers better pay attention.

I wish Disney would hurry up and release their streaming service so the sheer amount of competition and exclusive content is so overwhelming and expensive that it causes an outrage among consumers and puts an end to this crap. This is one of those things that's only going to continue to get worse until it gets so out-of-hand that it becomes a precedent where something prevents it from happening again.

Outside of the US this will be severly crippled by licensing wars anyway. But we all knew that this was coming, I'm surprised they took that long tbh.
