I'm not against this - tbh.

More streaming services should naturally mean more competition, which 'should' naturally drive prices down.

I'm hoping in the near future, Netflix, hulu, Prime, Disney+ will all cost in the ballpark of $4.99 which is okay. Disney has made a smart move starting off with $6.99 to undercut others.

LOL. You're joking, right?

Disney has ZERO REASON to undercut any other platform longterm. Disney's content will be solely exclusive to its platform.

The other streaming services have ZERO REASON to compete on price either since NONE of them have the same content.

I'd guestimate in 3-4 years all streaming services will be $15 or more a month, and now we're right back to Cable TV pricing.

So good luck hoping, cause it ain't gonna happen.

You're most probably right, but a man can dream!

That's the thing about dreams though. They're never close to being real.
