The streaming wars are a good thing. In order to attract customers, each streamer will have to make good content that people will actually want to watch.
Just dumping filler shit on your service isn't going to cut it when people can cancel and jump ship to something else.
I actually agree. pirates win the most though as they get the best picks from all of them without the garbage.
nah the people who pay for this crap have the lowest standards. discerning individuals such as myself pirate
Based Pirates
For some reason Yea Forums either doesn't understand basic economics, or refuses to acknowledge supply and demand.
Which of course is hilarious because it's what the entire industry hinges on.
Honestly?
>Criterion for certified kino ($10.99/mo)
>Disney+Hulu+ESPN for everything else ($12.99/mo)
Less than $25/mo for all your streaming needs. Apple TV+ is dead in the water. HBO only has a couple good shows, not worth. Prime has nothing, only good if you want 2-day shipping. Netflix is pure shit and full of shit originals.
It's not a good thing because it divides quality IPs across too many platforms. Those IPs and resulting media may end up in rights limbo after said TOOMANY services go down.
I feel bad for anyone with qualms about pirating.
The problem here is those brands becoming an oligopoly and taking over internet laws through lobbying and making the internet itself as shitty as cable.
Oh fuck, lizzy'a been pulled, guess i'll wait till it's up again
>Waits 26 months while still paying for the bill
Oh it's back again cool
Fuck streaming man, I'm literally only paying for prime so they'd actually deliver my packages on time instead of waiting months for them to show up, i hate this cuck shit but £7 isn't too bad, but imagine on top of Spotify, Xbox, Playstation, Netflix, Amazon, that shit adds up quick and soon it'll bank the consumer, the lads over at Redlettermedia satirise this perfectly
>already has a play station
>stills pays for Xbox plus and owns Xbox
oof
The problem is that, at some point, good content has to be made consistently
the tight coupling between content manufacturers and content delivery services is counterproductive from consumers' point of view. this shit should be broken up.
I know, its unfair! How else are you going to get you manbaby content and be excited for new manbaby content coming up!
Can't u just Google any show or movie and add "free stream"?
The virgin streamer vs the chad torrenter
>In order to attract customers, each streamer will have to make good content that people will actually want to watch.
they really don't
i pay for HBO, Hulu,Netflix and Prime and it's still cheaper than cable. Thinking of dropping netflix though.
i disagree
In theory, yes. More than likely though Disney & Hulu will package their services. Amazon and HBO will package theirs. Netflix will fold. Apple will eventually fold. Prices wont go down and any competition will be an illusion. We'll basically be back to where we were with Cable, except with fewer "channels" and Disney/Amazon owning even more shit.
It's bad because eventually it's just going to end up like cable all over again where people will eventually just get bundles, only instead for channels it's streaming services
There are too many subscription services, it's going to end up like MMOs where eventually your average person can't afford to pay for all of those subscriptions and will turn to piracy and a bunch of them are going to die off
I just pay for Hulu and Netflix which I'm thinking of dropping. Still cheaper than paying for cable which was close to 300 a month with Comcast
>tfw I know five people who got Disney+ for three years
Cable packages are making a comeback, boys
do they know the marvel shows arent coming until late 2020-early 2021?
Are there retards on this board who actually pay for this services or is it all larping? I honestly can’t tell. surely people can’t be this retarded when torrenting exists.
Competition is vicious. It's like Yea Forums. Every time gets referenced, gets bumped.
Every time gets referenced, gets bumped.
Then there are the star trek threads. &c
I'm paying for Netflix and Amazon Prime but if everyone is going to have their own streaming service anyways I'm just going to pirate everything.
OH BOY LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE JUST SAW THE LATEST RED LETTER MEDIA EPISODE!
VERY COOL
I log into my parent's account for streaming or I just go to the library and rent movies, tv, and vydia for free.
WEBRIP
How long until there's a anti monopoly rule that prohibits studios to own streaming platforms as they do with cinemas?
Subscribing to streaming services is literally being a cuckhold. You're subsidizing production for the bull to come in and pirate the media for free
>each streamer will have to make good content that people will actually want to watch
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
"Supply and demand" is mostly a buzzword for the twentieth century dream of treating complex systems as systems of linear equations. That is, "how much you can sell and for how much is related in some fashion to how much people want it" is fine, but going from that to "price is the intersection of two lines" is not.
When I read Disney I threw your comment in the trash bin.
libraries are based except for all the homeless
I do the same shit, just use my parent's account
Wait, shouldnt the red line be aligned to the black woman as with the white woman? I mean it would make her forhead as big as with the whitoide, the blacky just has her head neaning backward
this. normieNPCs will literally watch anything
This. SCOTUS should come down hard on content makers who own their primary exhibition platform (streaming service) behind a paywall just like they did to the big studios with their theater chains in the 1940s. It's pretty basic anti-trust violation that these companies own the content and the only legal means of showing it.
