    To be completely fair, it’s been over for a while. Even if you completely forget about infrastructure, between the endless wars for licenses, endless removals of content from platforms, shitty inconvenient apps, and regional locks, it’s already a dying market.

    On top of all of that, they’re implementing the “don’t you have 5 extra dollars” strategy, with skyrocketing monthly prices for each of these. If it was 15$ a month to watch anything, i would still pay. but it’s 15$ for each of them, and they still serve you ads, and sell your data

      Peacock HBO Max Showtime Disney. Fucking DC Universe was trying to be a thing.

      Every media company wanted a streaming service but failed to deliver because of their hubris.

      Hulu and Netflix have been my constant subscription services.

        Disney is an absolute must if you have a kid, and a great value besides.

        Otherwise it makes 0 sense except for maybe star wars sometimes.
