Rumor: HBO Max may be folding into Discovery+

[nyknick]

this is literally the pricing model for cable, gonna force you to pay for bullshyt you don't want and that one thing you do want, we'll convince you you need to pay 4x the other shyt for.

bring back HBO Now and leave me TF alone, the audacity to think i'm paying for anything laden with discovery programming

Disney/Hulu/ESPN $20
Discovery/HBO probably $20
Netflix $15
Prime Video $15
Peacock $10
Paramount+ $10
AMC+ $9
Apple TV+ $6

Disgusting because even if you get all this shyt you still need cable to catch live sports. And you know when they bundle up even more services they'll pull their old move of hiking up the price by 30% after a year Except this time you can't cancel and move over to a different cable provider to get the same programming.

who's paying for all of that at once
realistically you would only have like 3-4 of these at a time. I don't count prime because of amazon
I see D+/Hulu/Espn HBO, and, Netflix as must haves the others are like spotty at best

Not exactly considering that it’s already happened on cable.

it was a guy forecasting about it if you read the article
I think Comcast would have to give up CNN or MSNBC to for it to work but we've seen crazier stuff happen. I don't think the deal is going through with Biden as president

Warner Bros. Discovery Has Bigger Problems Than Its DC Search

The film studio’s hunt for its own Kevin Feige may be complicated by key questions about what’s next for the heavily indebted company — and whether another major deal is on the horizon.

I did laugh at this tidbit

That deal would face some interesting antitrust issues but would give his company scale and a viable streaming service. “Obviously Peacock sucks,” says one exec with knowledge of both companies.

even they know it

Cut the cord, brehs

Streamers out here combining like Transformers

What do you mean?

All of those streamers are/have been combined on cable, so them doing it via streaming is sort of the same thing. It’s why I’ve said before that the end result was always going to be the one thing that people were trying to get rid of.
