Netflix was also a preferable monopoly, because this warring fiefdom bullshit is not competition. You wanna watch a show? Fuck you, $20/mo and another password to lose.

We broke up movie theaters for that shit.

Netflix was always bound to the shareholders desires, Valve was never and as far as Gabe and his successor are concerned, it won't. This and Valve's unique hierarchy are big factors into why they haven't enshittified.

Netflix didn't do anything wrong. They got fucked over by everyone they licensed from deciding they'd steal Netflix's business model, and then they would be the biggest fish in the pond. All of them. At the same time.
