"We keep raising our prices and having content splinter off between dozens of competitors, I don't understand why the people won't just pay!"

There's nothing Netflix can do about content splintering except make their own content and revenge splinter it.

They could've paid more for the rights to stream it, especially if theyre price hiking anyway.

They are paying a lot more for the most popular shows they can get. Some other shows just don't have rights. Companies like Disney refuse to sell the rights because they want Disney+ subs.
