With streaming services piling up and costs rising. the platform's original 
promise has lost its luster

Mostly, too simplistic to be credible. Nothing "imploded." In fact, we're only 
getting started, and cord cutting is still accelerating, depending whose 
numbers you read. So, past tense "imploded" sounds like more ... hype!

With way more choice and way easier changing of providers, the streaming option 
has anything but imploded. People may possibly be giving up one fix for a new 
fix, if it comes to that. Big whoop. Nonsensical high drama.
