Fragmentation is certainly accelerating things. One company tries something like price hikes, ad tiers, password sharing prevention, bundling, etc and sees no consumer pushback, then they all do it.
I don't think the OP is victimizing cable. They are just saying that these companies swooped in with something better that was cheaper to disrupt the industry only to end up rebuilding said shitty industry. Different players, same game.
