It’s “shakeout” time as losses of Netflix rivals top $5 billion | Disney, Warner, Comcast, and Paramount are contemplating cuts, possible mergers.::Disney, Warner, Comcast, and Paramount are contemplating cuts, possible mergers.
Honestly, I’d much rather movies and shows be like music. I could subscribe to Apple Music, or Google Play, or YouTube Music, or Tidal, or Spotify, etc. That’s competition. Not spreading it out all over. Too much fragmentation can be bad for consumers too. It’s why I’ve been doing my best with buying stuff I really want instead of streaming it. Some stuff I can’t buy, and I get that. But others, I’m doing my damnedest to own it so I don’t need to subscribe for it.
Side note: I know it (streaming movies like music) is a pipe dream that’ll never happen. But still, one can dream.
