I'm pretty sure we'll also see more purchases , I think Discovery would be a great addition for Comcast.
It could work out that way, muppetman, but as you know, Disney is currently taking its content off Netflix, and it is clear from the reducing number of new dramas coming to existing TV channels that streaming services are hoarding content for themselves.

I do agree that some services may choose to distribute some of their material to other services and TV channels, but I don't see much evidence of that yet.

In the meantime, I see that WarnerMedia is aiming to acquire loads of new content from Bad Robot. Content acquisition by the streamers as opposed to dissemination seems to be the name of the game at present.
