It won't. And "greedy company" is redundant.

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I'm not going to subscribe to dozen different streaming services. If something isn't on Netflix and Amazon, I'll sail the seas. Their loss.

+1

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

You don't have to subscribe to them all. You can pick and choose based on the month.

nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, this. Netflix is my go-to, but I'd probably subscribe to Disney for a month to watch whatever interests me. Assuming it works on the Apple TV box.

Re: nayrt

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, like...I only subscribe to HBO when GoT is on.

[ninety6tears]

I have been continuously confused at people not seeming to consider this. (Though Amazon I think is an annual thing?)

As there are more and more streaming services, you can almost rotate through free trials throughout the year and stick to free services when you're strapped.

Not that it isn't annoying to have to constantly research what's on what. But lots of options can be nice.

[(Anonymous)]

Amazon is either annual or monthly - you can choose now.

Most free trials are only for new subscribers, so it's difficult to come back to them. Sometimes you have to choose the best time to use a free trial. There are some decent free streaming services available, but you have to watch commercials every so often. I like having choices too.

There's a website to help you find what's on what service, and it's being kept up to date for now - I use it all the time: reelgood.com

[(Anonymous)]

It won't, nor should it if it is good. Which it will be. It has Disney films, MCU, and now ALLLLLL the Fox backlog. The Simpsons alone are worth a subscription.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I'm sure the streaming-service bubble will pop, I don't know if Disney will be one of the casualties though.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if bubble is the word I would use. Some services will go under or merge, and some of the smaller services are not sustainable, but subscription streaming video as a sector isn't going away, I don't think

[(Anonymous)]

Bubble is a good word. After all, people still had tulips, real estate, video games, and internet service companies after those bubbles popped. The video game crash of the 1980s is probably a good comparison with more low-budget publishers and games produced than retail space for them. Nintendo clawed out on top of that mess.

I suspect that a lot of minor streaming networks will end up bundled up as addons to Amazon Prime, and maybe Netflix will break their one-price-fits-all policy and join Amazon with "channels." I suspect CBS will be one of the first to go, but I'm biased because it didn't really offer me anything for the price other than Discovery.

[tabaqui]

I think until Cable decides to do a la carte channels (pick what you want for tiered fees), streaming services will continue to thrive. Especially if they put out more quality stuff.

[philstar22]

I think streaming will still thrive even if they do that because people just like watching stuff on their computers. I know when I have my own place, I'll be going for streaming and not cable because I'd rather watch on my own computer than on tv.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I think streaming is going to be one of the media markets of the future. I said "fuck cable" over a decade ago so I'm use Netflix and Amazon myself. My question is how will that market support a dozen different versions of CBS All Access, which had a limited selection, awkward user interface, and significant issues with bandwidth on release? How do you convince my parents, who also use Prime, to pay for and use a growing number of separate apps for British sitcoms, Lawrence Welk, and arts and crafts shows?

I think the Disney service will succeed for two reasons. First they have a massive catalog to deliver, and second because it's a strategic option now that Comcast and Warner have vertical monopolies in some markets.

[philstar22]

Disney is the one company I think could really make it work, though, given how much they own. So I expect it won't fail.

[(Anonymous)]

Problem is they own so much that they will absolutely split the content into several different services that you have to pay for individually.

[(Anonymous)]

It appears that CBS' streaming service isn't doing so well. Around 50% of subscribers cancel when the show they signed up for gets canceled or ends.

[(Anonymous)]

Disney is the first streaming service I'm interested in. Their consolidation is concerning but the fact is they have the stuff I'm interested in. The new stuff they've said they're going to make is more interesting to me than any of the original stuff on other services, and I rewatch Disney stuff more than anything else anyway. I'd actually get my money's worth from a Disney streaming service, although I do wish you could get everything in one place.

[(Anonymous)]

Count me as one of the people looking forward to it. They own so many things that I watch (and rewatch and rewatch), so it will be worth it. I have no problem with paying for products I actually want. Far better than paying for 70 cable channels I don't watch to get one or two I do.

[(Anonymous)]

You say this, but you just know Disney will split those up into multiple packages so you have to buy so many of them to even watch all you want to.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know that actually and have heard no indication of it. So I'll worry about it when I have to.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree OP but that’s a pipe dream. I hate Disney as a conglomerate but thinking it will fail is just wishful thinking. The mouse has too much of a stronghold to the point where I’m wondering when we become the United States of Disney (& Apple)

[(Anonymous)]

I think Disney will success, but it will also be the only one that succeeds. The dust will have settled on this trend in about 4-5 years. Until then, I'm sticking with Netflix and Prime and occasionally iTunes. I'm not a big fan of most Disney properties anyway, but I can see occasionally wanting to watch individual things.
