You will have to explain to me how that equates to increased payments and less choice.

Because if you want access to all the equivalent new content previously provided, before on-demand subscription services existed, by channels, you have to pay for all the on-demand services and this amounts to much more money than the previous channel bundles.
Say each on-demand subscription was £6 a month. You could get 5 content sources for £30 a month, whereas with the old fashioned channel bundle you'd get content from MANY more than 5 content sources for the same money.
If you like content from a large number on content creators the old channel bundles got you more and wider array of content providers.
And yes you could dip in and out of content providers, but if you like certain content on a monthly basis, especially if it's time sensitive (e.g. spoilers or live events), you can't really do this. Plus it's a right palaver/hassle/annoyance.
