The product is getting worse over time due to content providers cutting them off in favor of their own services.
It's a lot easier for Disney and their ilk to build streaming services than it is for Netflix to build Disney's content catalog. Props to Netflix though, they've been punching above their weight in that area.
It's also a lot easier to pirate than it is to sign up for a billion different services. I'd put my money on "Netflix making this work somewhow" over "Cable all over again."
