I've talked with several of my friends about this. EVERYONE was universally willing to pay Netflix their monthly sub when all the studios just sold their content to Netflix.
NO ONE has subscribed to all of Disney+, Apple+, Paramount+, Peacock, etc. in the new everyone-built-their-own-netflix era.
They're all either making do with less content or sailing the high seas mateys yo ho. In many cases they've even DROPPED Netflix.
I don't see how the current over a dozen streaming media provider status quo stands for much longer. Some (many?) are going to have to fail before everyone gets pissed off and goes elsewhere for their entertainment.
- tzs 4y agoI don't know how big a factor this is, but note that some of those have bundling deals with other services. For people that happen to use those other services this can as a side effect greatly reduce the annoyance of the things one wants to watch being spread over different non-free services. I have Hulu as part of my Spotify subscription. I have Peacock Premium as part of Xfinity internet. I have Paramount+ as part of Walmart+. I have Amazon Prime Video as part of Amazon Prime. Some T-Mobile plans include Netflix and Apple TV+.
