Netflix stock tanking got me to thinking (mergers)

Is there a scenario where these streaming sites could begin merging?
Would the government stop the mergers? Could we get to a point to where the only streaming services left are Amazon and Disney?
PS- I’m teaching about the Gilded Age in my class, and besides tech giants (Meta, YouTube, Google) as examples, this is something I could foresee happening over the next decade or so, without govt. intervention.
What say the M/TV board?

I looked at their top 10 trending the other day and probably half of them were woke and gay/ lesbian shows

netflix original content is awful for the most part and their library lost most of its biggest shows

Maybe they’ll merge and you can pay one price for all of their combined content.
Maybe they’ll call it “cable”.

Why would the government stop it? They haven't done shite to curb Big Tech companies acquiring everything. Unless we see a big bi partisan shift for stricter antitrust legislation in the tech industry, I don't see a scenario where Netflix can't get acquired.
Would be kind of funny. They took out blockbuster, then something else takes them out.

Corporate sponsored politicians have gerrymandered so much of the House post Citizens United that I don't think it's possible to break up monopolistic companies anymore. Thanks much Kennedy, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, and Scalia!

Maybe they'll all merge together and we can watch everything for $200 a month?!
AWESOME.
AWESOME.

Netflix has made us pay more in the US while they give it away for free in other countries
Of all the steaming services I have Netflix would be the easiest to part ways with. They’re quantity over quality strategy just hasn’t appealed to me

If so, please let whichever one ends up with Netflix start using the Netflix platform. It is the only one that never, ever buffers on me, hardly ever crashes, and is the most user friendly.

The only decent original content on Netflix right now is their animation department.
Castlevania
Witcher
