Bonus points if you can also explain what the deal is with different movies and shows being cycled between the different services!

Users pay streaming service to watch content.
If there is no content they will not subscribe to the service.
Streaming services can buy rights to stream stuff or they can make their own.
If they buy/rent stuff, it will be often content people have already seen in cinemas on DVD/Blue-Ray or on TV, it will also stuff they only have the rights to for a limited time and either have to pay more or give back and see some other rival streaming service end up with the tight. The rights also will most often be only for some region and not world wide.
If the make their own content, it means people, who want to watch it, can only (legally) do so on their streaming platform.
They own the right for it out right and for ever place and don’t have to spend money to keep it or to stream it in different regions.
Making you own exclusive content is more expensive but is a much better draw for customers than non-exclusive licensed content made by others.
