We NEED a monopoly on streaming. The lack of monopoly is why every company under the sun thinks they can make a successful streaming platform despite having one single good title that anyone would ever pay for.
>We NEED a monopoly on streaming
For that to work, we'd need the monopoly to be content-agnostic. That's not going to happen unless there's direct government intervention, and that is its own can of worms.
All we can do is sit back and let these companies fight and destroy themselves until a duopoly or triopoly remains.
And what do you think will happen when there is one streaming service? They'll make shit content and charge you outrageous fees, run all the adverts they want cause guess what there's nowhere else to go

And you can pick what to watch. You don't NEED to subscribe to all. You subscribe to all and stay when they up charge you tells them they can keep doing it

So you're going to try to peddle that we would return back to simpler times if Netflix or some other comapny somehow became the only streaming service?
Anon, the very moment that were to happen would effectively make the winner corporate cable tier where they will now charge you $80 dollars and ads a month because they now know there's enough people to manipulate.

Not that anon, but to be the devil's advocate, what he has in mind is probably something like a utility. Certain businesses benefit greatly from economy of scale more so than from competition, and arguably streaming could be one of those things. But again, that would require government intervention, and they do not have a good track record when it comes to entertainment and free speech.
The ideal situation would be for some of these streamers to die off. Sony has stayed out of the streaming wars, and so far it has worked out well for them. In another year or two, I think anyone outside of the top 3 will begin to see the silver lining of being neutral.
I'm sad to say it, but yeah. For a few years there I was happy to pay for Netflix, because it had just about everything I want. Now, in order to get everything in one place and not deal with advertisements (I'm fricking PAYING FOR THE SERVICE AND I STILL HAVE TO WATCH COMMERCIALS?) I'm back to watching everything online.
No, they're adding live because Cable is dying but there is still a market for live content like Adult Swim and Toonami. Just look at vtubers as an example. Imagine that but Toonami, where you just have a host pop in from time to time and do a little skit then leave you back to your regularly scheduled content. The technology is there, streaming needs to just take advantage of it.
Can't wait for the mouse to come along and gobble them all up whole.
Disney vs Wokeflix, the final showdown.
>Disney vs Wokeflix
Both are woke
>corporations
>woke
get off /misc/
Corporations have gone woke. Look at any of their logos during pride month and stop being a blind moron
Odd, they aren't broke. Well, any decade now.
How much has Disney lost last two years, HBOMax(WB)? Yeah stfu
Disney will run into monopoly laws if they tried to get Warner. WB is their most direct competition

Duopolies are fine. Triopolies are fine. Right now we have like a dodecanonacenterianopoly.
You're moronic. Competition brings cheaper prices and better content
then why is streaming getting more expensive while the content gets shittier
And what do you think will happen when there is one streaming service? They'll make shit content and charge you outrageous fees, run all the adverts they want cause guess what there's nowhere else to go

ESG directives.
>as long as I have a boogeyman to blame, I can always avoid my own failings
just stick to israelites, you're basically saying the same thing
>disney + Netflix + wb disc become a single monopoly
>they charge you $700 monthly fee because frick you
You're forgetting the single biggest competitor all of these streaming services have: piracy
>and they make constant shit shows with your money and you're left with no other option but to watch and pay your license fee
or I just unsubscribe and sail the high seas for the one show I like
Everyone should've just stuck with Netflix. A 1000 "different" streaming sites was a mistake.
Says you..
I pay for 5 streaming sites and my bill is much cheaper than the last cable bill I had with spectrum
Having a live TV that has CN/AS works would be good.
They share a company that distributes their films on physical media.
Because there's nothing to say about their own dead platform
The real issue is why the frick do they have an ESL working there who writes things like 'a exclusive'?
Predicting it now sounds like someone just forgot to sign into their personal account.
Because kicking competitors when they're down is a specialty of corporations and politicians.
hey school rumble!
nice

Remember a few years ago, when you just had Netflix and the "cable model" seemed like a thing of the past?
It always returns to "yar har dibble de dee".

It's because they're throwing shades since they already have sports on their service
