I agree, the problem is they don't want to pay for it. And those that will pay for it don't want to pay as much as is required for a profit to be made. if your streaming service cost £50/month, which is probably about where it would need to be for them to start showing a profit, how many people would still be keen to pay it? Revenue increases mean nothing on their own. Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity.
