Ya but are those other streaming services in 4K? Do they have as much content? etc. It will be interesting to see how things go in the next year or two. I have netflix, D+ and Prime TV but that's it. Won't pay for more and many of the others like say Apple+ is $6 think but not a whole lot of content. Hulu I don't need being in Canada I get it as "Starz" with D+. Paramount+ also does not have enough original content of interest to me and a lot of the other shows that I might be interested I can watch for free on CTV.ca for example.
Some are in 4K I believe (Apple is) and they don't have as much content but I'm reading a lot (thought I saw a comment in this thread) suggesting that people are fatigued by the amount of content that Netflix
does have.
Besides being less expensive, almost all of the other streaming services you mentioned have one thing Netflix does not: live sports, or any type of live content for that matter.
I think Netflix is too big to fail but I wouldn't be surprised if this crash brings on a major change in direction. Wonder if they would ever bid for sports rights. At least for me, that is the surest way to get my money - there's no other way I would pay for Paramount Plus, for example. One way or another, I think they'll have to grow from an on-demand streaming company to an actual full-service entertainment company.
A studio won't buy Netflix (not even Disney). I was thinking more Amazon or Apple.
Agreed. Essentially the only two compatible buyers on earth.
