LOS ANGELES: Streaming entertainment is smacking into the wall of the paradox of choice – and the cost to consumers of piecing multiple services together. 

The boom in subscription streaming services has given consumers more options than ever, with an array that includes Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO, CBS All Access, Showtime and YouTube Premium. Even more are coming down the pike with Apple, Disney, WarnerMedia, NBCUniversal and others promising to enter the fray in a big way.
