Was discussing Disney+ and Warner Bros, and other tv/movie streaming services that are producing own content and this question came up, it was in regards to capturing revenue going to Spotify/Pandora/Apple

There are 3(?) major labels. Would people pay for 3 different services if combined they are less than Spotify?

Never thought of this, seems like they could cut out the middle man and make more profit, administrative costs aside anyway.

Distribution is dead. Content is king. This will ultimately happen, IMO.
