The Fall of Streaming Platforms

Streaming was supposed to kill cable. Instead, we’ve reinvented it — with more logins, higher prices, and ads on everything. Netflix, Disney+, Max, Prime: all fighting to enshittify faster. This episode breaks down how the golden age of streaming collapsed into the same bundle fatigue we thought we escaped. Expect Doctorow on enshittification, Jenkins on convergence, and a reminder that piracy is just rational consumer behavior in 2025.
