CD's used to cost 20 bucks, artists used to make money on their sales.

Now they don't.

There are movies that "don't make money" because of shady accounting practices.

And I paid 100 bucks for cable for the same reason that you pay 100 bucks for internet now, lack of competition.

There are plenty of people creating content on YouTube for what YouTube is willing to give them... and that isn't much. They have a working model because they keep creating content, not trying to squeeze every drop from the juice (over and over).

You might want to go back and look at the Paramount Decree. We would not be here if it was extended to streaming rather than allowed to expire.
