The Ellisons will eventually fail at Paramount because the culture is largely against their brand of politics, and WB, HBO, etc. could have survived long enough to have be sold off once that happens.
Netflix is going to destroy a load-bearing structure of Hollywood for the sake of streaming slop.
But it’s all speculation anyways, and none of it matters, since they opted for your choice of poison, not mine.
My choice would be a functional regulatory system that entirely prohibits harmful media consolidation and monopolistic behavior but that’s not on the table. The next best choice is keeping neo-Nazis from controlling the airwaves as much as possible.
Pick your poison.

Hollywood destroyed itself, from decades of short-term thinking, riskless projects, trendchasing, and curbstomping creativity wherever it may hide.

And now they’re mad their little club is being undermined.
I’m not a Netflix apologist, but Hollywood brought this upon themselves.
