As content producers yank their content from other streaming services to start their own, the good content is being dispersed over a larger number of services so the average ratings of each are going to go down. They hope their good content will be enough to get people to subscribe, but I have my doubts.
I recently switched from Netflix streaming to DVD because it was going to cost $15 per movie to see some movies I wanted to watch on Amazon Prime (the only service that had them). Plus, I hated trying to find even a half hour of TV I wanted to watch at night on either Prime or Netflix: I usually spent 15 minutes trying to find something, then 5-15 minutes of watching it before realizing it was terrible. And if I did find a series I liked, there's always that nagging feeling about whether they will cancel it abruptly without a decent ending.
With Netflix DVD, I only get around 4 movies a month, but that's 8 hours of entertainment and I wasn't getting nearly that from the streaming service.
