Netflix made a bold promise that streaming would be cheaper and better than what existed before. It broke that promise to cash in on its audience.
If it captures Warner Discovery, it would not just remake a major studio, but continue degrading culture by further commercializing it.

@arstechnica we’re all assuming the merger should happen, just not sure who will get to be the buyer, but why are we allowing this crazy consolidation to continue? You don’t get rid of monopolies, or duopolies by allowing unfettered mergers/takeovers of massive corporations.
