Weird! This went from the home page to completely gone from the list in the time it took me to read a few paragraphs of the article...

TV and movies, but no longer music?

Because the Spotify business model, so far, does not play silly games releasing, then removing content.

It is very frustrating to pay money to streaming services and they remove content you're watching or they have partial content

They have a better example in Spotify, or will causation go the other way?

Even now living in the states, I cannot comprehend how someone can end up paying hundreds of dollars a month for tv streaming. Can someone enlighten me?

Live TV streaming such as Youtube TV is just cable TV packaged as an internet streaming service which costs something like $80 USD per month. In addition you have a $10-20+ Netflix subscription, Disney+/Hulu, Paramount, HBO etc. All that on top of your $50-$100+/month internet service. I know people spending over 250/month on multiple streaming services.

If you subscribe to cable or satellite, your bill will somehow trend up to around $300/mo for what the CSRs inform you are perfectly good reasons unless you play the 'pretend to threaten to cancel' game every now and then. It's a form of market segmentation.

Google ‘more fios tv’

As I understand it, the difference is sports channels. Sportsball stars’ high salaries are paid from TV rights, and the subscription cost reflects that.

This doesn't seem sustainable.

The old economy is never sustainable because the people it props up die.

Growth is slow but collapse is fast because it takes decades for those people to build, earn their status.

With our eggs in one basket, a small group of elders, they all die off within just a decade or so of each other. A much faster process than the 30-40 years it took to for them to grow their worth to trickle down on us.

Entropy tears apart all structure. Its mechanism for tearing apart society is generational churn.

Time is non-linear. No thing has the same epoch and erodes at the same tick. Endless linear economic growth will never be because once dead belief the elders were rich has to be rethought.
