You're also having a problem that the new forms of distribution don't seem to replace the revenue of old forms. A lot of people hoped that they could replicate HBO's approach to streaming, but it turns out that it doesn't work well if every streamer tries to be premium cable.

And if you raise prices too much, people stop paying.
