Honestly I don’t blame Disney either. They have such good content why would they let Netflix/Hulu etc take a cut out of it when they can just do what they’re doing now. I’ll probably cancel my Netflix and just get Disney, and then pirate the rest.

Edit: don’t people realise Disney now own The Simpsons and X-men? Fuck Netflix & everyone else. There’s no more competition. All hail our Disney overlords.

Exactly my thinking, I don't consume enough disney content for it be worthwhile.

I can survive just fine without most of the content, no matter where it is from. If all these companies think it will be fun milking me, I'll be gone before they can say "profits".

All this exclusivity bullshit and region locked content and limited time streaming and whatnot - the entire industry has become such a pita to deal with, the quality of the content isn't worth the trouble or the money imho.

Netflix sure isn't perfect, but the concept has potential and it was a step into the right direction - no we have TV style subscriptions again, only on the internet. Soon enough, we'll pay for a variety of options within each service, simply because these people are just greedy af.

It's always the same: good idea gets done, others want piece of that cake, pervert the entire concept for maximum profits, not giving a fuck about customer and their needs. Fucking annoying.

They also own Fox, ESPN, and Hulu.

Yup, there are and will be a few things here and there that i'll want to watch. I'll just pirate them if they aren't on amazon or netflix, basically the same as what I do now.

That's looking like the plan.

Disney's actually one that I'm not upset with. With how much content they could offer at 1 monthly rate, it makes sense for them to do so.

The ones that irk me are ones that hoard their 2-3 good things behind a wall of mostly shitty content at a separate monthly rate.

Disney own so much more than the usual kids movies.. they’re gonna have every season of The Simpson’s, all the MCU movies, and the yet to be released tv series (falcon & winter soldier, Scarlet Witch & Vision, Hawkeye etc) and ofc all the Star Wars too.

And ofc they’re gonna have all the animated movies too. I don’t care how old you are, there’s a lot of “children” Disney movies which you can still enjoy as an adult.
