    Can’t wait until Disney own 100% of media and only produces either AI generated or disgustingly corporate bullshit

      The funny thing is I think Disney is on the brink of selling half of itself away to random entities

        I haven’t heard that. Is there a source for this rumor?

    Oh boy more consolidation! Surely this won’t have any adverse effects on consumer choice!

        somehow with alternatives to not make a monopoly though, hence why honestly I see piracy as the only ethical way to go (the socialism of streaming services lol)

        It’s probably going to take 5-10 years more, but eventually companies will realize that exclusives aren’t worth it for 90% of content and we see streaming look more like the video game console market, with most the content available everywhere and a handful of exclusives per platform.

          The problem with that is it would likely require the publishing of watch data, which streamers seem to be hoarding and are unwilling to share.

            They’re likely hoarding because it’s not pretty for most shows. It’s likely the same 5 shows that get 90% of view time.

        Yeah, it’s a fine line. I think we can all agree there are too many streaming services/subscriptions right now.
