Digital Shrinkflation in Streaming Services

Amazon made bundles inside Prime Video. Sound familiar? It’s cable, but digital.

We’re paying more for bundles again. PART 2 — Less for More: Digital Shrinkflation You’ve heard of

shrinkflation — paying the same for less product. Streaming does the same thing,

just digitally. You’re paying more, but getting less content. Netflix used to

have thousands of movies and shows. Now, many titles have been removed.

New content can disappear fast — canceled after one season or taken down to save money

or for tax reasons. Then there are ads. Streaming’s promise was “no ads ever.” Now,

almost every service has ad-supported plans.
