Interesting article in the FT suggesting that the only streaming service winners will be YouTube and ByteDance (a Chinese service similar to YouTube).

Comcast would not lose out by having a free version as their income on sub-free services would emanate from commercials. I think most streamers will be offering both subscription and subscription-free versions of their services in the future.
