āStreaming is deadā say the people who killed it.
Right? The streaming Star wars IP even book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan series were light-years better than anything Disney put in theaters save maybe Rogue One. I have a feeling they are going to fuck up Mandalorian with the Grogu and Mandalorian theatrical release too. Once it reaches the box office, thereās too many cooks messing with the creators vision imo. Weāll see I guess.
Yep Iām not watching a film, I doubt theyāll do it well
Yes but theyāre rich now
Streaming is dead
I guess this means it doesnāt create the income they want?
Meanwhile $NFLX at all time high currently.
No idea where that valuation is coming from but I guess they are winning the streaming wars.
While netflix does quantity over quality, it does give you a lot more stuff to watch without additional charge compared to brand-limited services like Disney and Apple, so more people still gravitate to them.
Well, netflix has a variety of stuff. I donāt know why anyone thinks that people would be fine with watching nothing but Disney.
Have you ever met a Disney fanatic? Iāve been in a relationship with one. I havenāt been in a relationship with one in almost 20 years. I learned my lesson.
Yeah, but Disney fanatics are a minority. Sure theyāll buy stuff and theyāll get the streaming too but there arenāt enough of them alone to make streaming profitable enough for Disney.
It means they know they canāt beat Netflix, and that the streaming monopoly is out of reach for everybody else. Without that monopoly, they canāt raise prices to the points they want.
Streaming is dead? What, are we back to laserdisc and nobody told me?
What they mean is not that people arenāt streaming. Its that the profit margins in streaming are reaching a plateau so investors canāt profit nearly as much or as easily.
Thereās leveling viewer rates and an increase in torrents so yeah, it is sorta dying because no one likes playing 90 dollars for 7 subscriptions that still donāt get you every show you want to watch.
Plus having to pay more to miss ads! Iām already paying them ffs
Iām actually considering buying shows on Blu-ray and then ripping them into my media server. But Blu-rays are super expensive compared to paying for streaming for s few months, and I never know if Iāll actually watch something completely before I even start.
You can go to your local thrift store and get DVD Videos and Blu-rays.
I get all my blank media from there.
Your local library may also have a collection of movies and shows available for checkout. CDs too
I donāt think I own a single device that can play optical discs.
Me neither.
I keep a dvd burner in my closet next to the USB floppy drive. Havenāt used either in at least 5 years
Does this mean subscriber numbers are not what the Mouse expected to be?
The āCanada Effectā.
Please explain.
Cancelled disney+ subscriptions and way less travel to their playlands hurts the bottom line.
