Heh, no big deal, that "like" in the original was crucial and easy to scan past. These things happen.

More generally I think the Internet and the markets growing on it would be a hell of a lot healthier if we outlawed the creepy & dangerous mass data collection that encourages lock-in and monopolization, and the video market specifically (including streaming services like Netflix and friends) if we outlawed certain kinds of vertical integration there. Economy of scale is quite enough to push things toward monopoly, no need to have those factors amplifying the effect and increasing the harm of such monopolies.
