Great video. I think the actors and writers strikes played a massive role in the death of streaming/things moving back to theaters. Prior to those strikes streaming was incredibly anti-labor. All the talent (actors, writers, etc) wasn't a massive name was paid much less for streaming projects. Production costs were cheaper and anything made this way was a better revenue stream for the studios because they weren't paying residuals to the talent. The strikes changed that & brought pay between streaming and theatrical a lot closer.

My household is mostly Disney+, but having kids I think that makes sense :) Even so, we still cycle between that and Netflix; mostly going astray to Apple TV or Prime, etc. to watch movies that we own digitally

Whenever I look through my list of subscriptions and wonder if I can live without any of them, Netflix always seems to be on the bubble. It's never my first choice if I'm browsing for something to watch, but I just can't bring myself to get rid of it either.
