Consumers don’t pay less if content is bundled together. Indeed, they end up paying for the entire bundle including the content they don’t watch. Wasn’t that supposed to be a benefit of streaming to stop that?

No, jfman. You are the one in denial here. So much so that you frequently resort to this sort of pedantry to try and make a point which we all know is becoming harder to argue as time goes on.

Despite the argument you and Hugh are making that it is against the law, the arrangement is already happening!
There is nothing pedantic about introducing your fanciful posts to reality. It’s very easy to argue that no streamer has a business model for sports rights in the UK, indeed as every auction passes and rights sell for less in real terms than last time it’s obvious.
