The competition is good to an extent. The competition is forcing the streaming services to produce more content and hopefully that means better content, but the market is definitely over-saturated with everyone trying to get market share. After a few years, many will die out, we are seeing that in the live tv streaming markets with Playstation Vue failing, despite the product being very good. Now all the others are starting to hike prices and people will drop them. The same thing will happen to the non-live streaming services in a few years.Remember people thought they were nuts for spending 4 billion for Lucasfilm, have to get those $$ back and quite frankly that's what they're doing. Pumping out as much content as possible while missing the boat on quality at time.
I don't think the comp from Disney vs. Netflix is a good thing. Consumers have less content divided between two services at a higher cost.
People will only keep about 3 streaming services on average. A lot of these services will fail because of that, especially as prices rise.
