Netflix, Disney, hulu, Apple TV, google, HBO, Peacock, Verizon Discovery, AMC+ Paramount Plus, Amazon video, Roku, Tubi, …. This is insane and low efficient. There should be only one or two dominating the market in the coming future, others will go bankrupted or be taken over. Which one do you think will survive ? Multiple choice
Is it insane? Now you get to pay for exactly what you want versus the old cable days where you had to buy expensive bundles to get what you wanted and a bunch of stuff you didn’t. THAT was insane.
And all without dumb proprietary cable boxes too. What a leap forward
Have you heard of things like YouTube TV, Hulu Live, etc.? Those bundles & packages are still around. Just in a different form now.
Where is cruncheol and prnhub?
I feel like not having netflix is illegal so they have that first movers advantage apple has unlimited money, they can compete forever if they want to Disney fans will pay anything for a disney product The rest is going to be a warzone
Lots of people canceling Netflix these days
Companies with revenue coming from other areas of their business (like Disney, Amazon, etc) will survive, but companies that are pure streaming only (Netflix) will either fail or be acquired.
What about one master interface, so you can sign up for some or all of these services and scroll through their offerings in a centralized place? Kind of like how you can click through a channel guide on cable and add speciality channels, sports packages, etc as you see fit. The master interface could be a nonprofit so no one service controls it.
people dont want to scroll through all those channels in a linear search with everything side by side they want things bundled by interest with a good ui that makes sense for that bundle the cable box ui has been reviled for like 20 years now
Sure, doesn’t have to use the cable ui, but I think the option to sign up all in one place would concentrate users and be good for the streamers who have unique content.
Apple, Amazon, and Google have unlimited money so wither through any storm
Apple will buy everything
Hulu will probably be absorbed into Disney since the majority of their content is outsourced and companies will pull their content off Hulu to add it to their on streaming platforms
Hulu content is already slowly absorbed into Disney+
Netflix is the only profitable streaming service
Google? Are you talking about YouTube?
