Well perhaps there shouldn't be 45 different streaming services then? If it was just one streaming service that I could pay you for and then everything I wanted was on that site then there wouldn't be a problem would there?

Also that would solve the problem of content being removed from streaming services because they got a better deal on some other service that I'm not subscribed to.

A lot of these streaming services are ultimately owned by the same company. Ever had a favorite show, where only seasons 1,3 and 5 are available on one "service" and only seasons 2 and 4 are available on the other? This lets the owner of the series double-dip customers on subscription fees.
