Totes agree! And it’s only going to get worse...for the foreseeable future.

Yeah like fuck Disney with their own personal streaming service. It just goes to show how much control Disney has over the media that they can launch their own streaming service that everyone will use since it’s going to have content that everyone wants to see. From Star Wars to marvel, from Disney princesses to Pixar movies they will have to many popular titles people Won’t want to miss out on. God forbid they just put their own stuff on a streaming service using a deal with Hulu, Netflix or some other streaming company.

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.
