I read a article about a survey a while back, and the biggest complaint by young people is that they wished all their streaming services were on something all together to make it easier and more convenient
hmm....
I think Google is trying to do exactly that. They are laying fiber down everywhere they can and they own Youtube. They recently poached NFL Sunday Ticket and Youtube TV is one of the prominent 'live TV' streaming services. You can currently subscribe to Max, Paramount+, Showtime, and Starz through your Youtube TV plan. I'd be shocked if they weren't trying to get deals with Netflix and all the other streamers who don't offer their own live TV service to create a one-stop 'bundle all your favorite streamers here' service.

As Dennis Duffy always says, technology is cyclical.

The Fairness Doctrine was abolished in the late 80s and at the same time Ma Bell went through a divestiture and now we have massive monopolies of media controlled by FIVE corporations.

Google is only doing what the gov wanted; controllingl the narrative.
