Damn!
How will that affect the torrent seeds?

Don't see how it's dying with that much subscription.

Maybe it was never dying and people were just saying it

Hope everyone who has Netflix is ready for a price increase.

I cancelled netflix 8 months ago when it went to $18.99 CAD for the ad free one

One stream to control them all
And to bind them

We're going to have Batman in the final season of Stranger Things

Dying? *looks at revenue*

In my opinion, Warner bros obsession over Suicide Squad and Harley Quinn was their downfall.

Wow, and I thought the Disney Fox Merger was big.

This is a little concerning in the context of monopolization… but people do complain a lot about too many streaming services.

I hope there’s not another Zaslavian purge of content.

Netflix has always grown from quarter to quarter.

Netflix announced the blockbuster deal with Warner Bros. Discovery on Friday morning. It has agreed to buy the legendary TV and movie studio and assets like the HBO Max streaming service for $72 billion, plus debt.

where did a dying streaming service find that kind of money, there grasping at straws to stay alive at this point, hope it falls apart, I'm not cancelling HBO through prime, Crave TV

Holding monopolies over IP's truly is like playing Agar.io for MBA's

I thought maybe Netflix were bidding just to drive the price up for the other guys.

I guess it'll be a while before everything settles anyway.

So Hangover and Karate Kid series are gonna roll 24/7 on HBO now.

The problem with most streaming services is over generalization. They want so badly to appeal to everybody that they end up appealing to nobody, and basically become the cable services which their customers original came from, and more importantly were actually trying to get away from. Nobody wants to pay for content not directed at them specifically.

Which is why most streaming service subscribers do so a month at a time, and dip back out once that one show they liked has its season finale. So they don't have to pay for someone else's stuff. You know what services are going to survive in the end. The services that target a demographic to the exclusion of everything else.

Those are the only services that actually make themselves indispensable, and can get customers to keep their subscriptions going on indefinitely. Eventually inevitably even these wannabe cable companies. Are going to end up getting brought low by services. That are happy just to be like actual cable networks.

This consolidation in the streaming marketplace. Is about companies trying to buy their way out. Frankly if anything it's going to kill them off faster. They've got the process running in reverse. At the end of the day they should be subdividing, and abandoning anything that doesn't perform. Just piling up the content and jacking up prices. That's what cable did, and how'd that work out.
