Why is there not a marketplace for video content like there is for almost everything we consume? Why are still selling Netflix shows? Can't Netflix just pay content creators per view? Or how about let content creators price however they want, marketplace takes a X% cut?https://twitter.com/ttmygh/status/1158551232153362433 …

Video seems so fragmented compared to retail and it's unclear to me why that is. Why is there a Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney when we just have Amazon?

We have a user generated video monopoly on youtube. I think we have one in China (tudou/youku). Video delivery and warehousing/logistics aren't that different. They seem to scale in a similar way to me.

Kuaishou and Douyin are a different service though. Youku and Tudou are China's true youtube equivalent and AFAIK they do have monopolistic market share. Hulu's in business because they have content. Netflix has more, but Hulu has stuff Netflix doesn't, period.

I don't understand your question? I imagine that if you make a movie you just sell to the highest bidder?

Yeah, I agree that the business models are different. I was trying to figure out why. I think that it's a combination of first sale doctrine (right to resell goods) and content producers having too much power - see the rest of my chain. I attempt to explain it.
