I pay 8.99 for Disney+, Hulu and espn+ through Verizon. That’s the only reason I have the shyt. They killed Star Wars and Marvel so there’s no real point.
"Pigs get fat, Hogs get slaughtered." Below is a list of the top selling DVDs in 2010. Look at the revenue generated. I put the Disney films (That I know of) in Bold. There use to be an entire film industry funded solely by DVD sales. Studios got greedy and pushed Streaming, now they are struggling to replace that lost revenue stream.

Not good for the consumer how? Do you think we want to spend more money on shyt?Streaming was inevitable just like in music due to technology. With that said, it’s a fukked up model that devalues the product significantly.
You mean for $20 a month, I have instant access to infinitely more movies/tv shows than my old video store used to have in inventory in a given day?
That shyt doesn’t make sense. It’s not even good for the consumer. With so many choices available, we begin to value the products less. We spend more time browsing and browsing through thousands of titles, binge watching shows that we forget instantly, bailing out on movies/tv shows etc.
It’s a crazy model if you ask me.
Ain’t no such thing as a free lunch. The price the consumer pays is they don’t make the type of mid level budget movies that they made in the 80s and 90s. . An entire genre of movies for adults is not being made because without DVD sales, the studios can’t make back their money. So we are stuck with remakes, sequels, reboots And comic book movies.Not good for the consumer how? Do you think we want to spend more money on shyt?
Foh
Actually, we went from buying physical music, to downloading music for $0.99 a song, then to streaming music on for a revolving monthly fee. Spotify is the streaming music market leader, with over 30% market share, yet isn't profitable. So I don't think its a sustainable business model. While Netflix and HBO Max are actually profitable video streaming businesses, they do so by offering significantly smaller libraries of content. Spotify has 100+ million songs available to users, while Netflix has 3600 movies and 1800 TV shows at any given time. I personally believe I had access to more movies on VHS via brick and mortar retail stores (Not including Blockbuster) in the mid 1990s, than I do now via streaming services. I find myself going on sites like Justwatch to see what service has a particular movie, and more often than not its not only available for digital purchase, not streaming.Streaming was inevitable just like in music due to technology.

I think they've done a decent job with the 'Star Wars' content like 'The Mandalorian' and 'Andor' but there was also some mid. The biggest problem with that is they completely fukked up the sequel trilogy.
yea they fuked it up and their making it worse by continuing it with ridleyI think they've done a decent job with the 'Star Wars' content like 'The Mandalorian' and 'Andor' but there was also some mid. The biggest problem with that is they completely fukked up the sequel trilogy.
