nobody is putting capital into content at the moment. Almost all streaming services are losing money hand over fist. Even Netflix aren't nearly as profitable as they want to be. They wouldn't be doing this if it weren't for their investors calling for growth.
Prices are going to go up rapidly and the only content we're going to see is lower budget TV. It's why disney just announced major cost cutting and a whole bunch of crappy sounding sequels to guaranteed money making franchises. But those will all be theatre tentpoles.
