Default Streaming, having to pay for more sites and more questions

Has anyone noticed that more and more sites for streaming are starting to charge.

I downloaded PBS as a free site. Watched Masterpiece Flesh and Blood Episodes 1 and 2, great mystery show and I am hooked. Then to get Episode 3 I had to either join PBS Passport with a monthly charge of $5.99 or I can pick it up on several other British sites and pay by the episode.

This also happened with another really good crime show my husband was watching. I know the cost is far cheaper than going out to the movies, but I have already purchased the main site where it is located and cannot get more than two episodes. Am I correct in thinking that the original show has been purchased from the BBC and to watch it you have to pay either the BBC or the site that buys it.

Also, does anyone know what the new Exfinity Peacock is all about. I got a full page blurb from them recently asking me to sign up for it, but with no cost provided.
