I don’t want Netflix to even do Netflix anymore. Competition is healthy so if they all merge and there’s only 2 that’ll be bad imo
Competition is good but I really don’t want to pay $15 to $20 a month for 5 different streaming services just to ensure good competition.
Theres no way you’re watching that much television that you need all the major services at once. I usually have one at a time and if I absolutely need to see something else during that time well yar har matey
My issue is that I have kids, and my wife and one kid really like one service (Disney), and my other kids like another (Netflix), and I want content on a third (Amazon). So instead of paying for three, we pay for two (Disney+ and Netflix) and I play video games instead.
What’s even worse is that all three now also have ads if you’re on the bottom tier, which really sucks. I’m thinking of cancelling both and just buying some shows my kids like, it’ll probably be cheaper long term anyway.
Honestly, I’d much rather movies and shows be like music. I could subscribe to Apple Music, or Google Play, or YouTube Music, or Tidal, or Spotify, etc. That’s competition. Not spreading it out all over. Too much fragmentation can be bad for consumers too. It’s why I’ve been doing my best with buying stuff I really want instead of streaming it. Some stuff I can’t buy, and I get that. But others, I’m doing my damnedest to own it so I don’t need to subscribe for it.
Side note: I know it (streaming movies like music) is a pipe dream that’ll never happen. But still, one can dream.
I get what you are saying, but I want fewer subs. Thanks.
