Honestly the judge pausing this merger is peak protection energy because two studios merging would just mean fewer good movies and more algorithmic slop for us. People saying "competition dies" sound like they want cable packages back.

wait isn't stopping this merger kinda limiting our streaming options though? like won't we just end up with fewer choices if these companies stay separate and keep competing inefficiently?

Blocking mega mergers protects competition like antitrust did in the industrial age. Isn't consolidation just repeating history's mistakes? Yeah nah, consolidation bad.

honestly if these studios merged we'd probably have gotten one mega streamer way earlier and crushed competition even harder. judge stopping it might've saved what little choice we have left in the market.

The judge's pause actually protects consumers from ur streaming bills skyrocketing, since the 2023 FTC data showed previous media mergers reduced competition and raised prices by 15 percent. Blocking consolidation preserves choice.
