Streaming TV is about to get very expensive – here's why

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Most likely they won't because the new companies are the content holders/creators and are backed by tv networks and cable companies, that can outspend Netflix.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Netflix has contracted creators to make shows exclusive for Netflix. Netflix is the creator now.

The one thing I like about all this is the competition aspect it should create better shows and/or movies at least in the short term. The services who got the hits are getting the subs.

Idk how anyone competes with WarnerMedia's catalog if they include all their TV programs with the movies

List of Warner Bros. Television programs - Wikipedia

They nearly own every TV related property

I'm not sure how some of those co-productions work like Seinfeld and shyt like that if they would be able to say no we're putting this on our own service but obviously the stuff like The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones, all the HBO stuff and all the DC animated stuff and I think all the family programs like Family Matters etc. is all shyt that they would have on their own service.

Exactly.

Been running a Plex server for 5 years and these 1080 rips got me eating real good

According to this article, it just depends on the streaming rights these companies like Hulu & Netlfix signed to get the show on their service

WarnerMedia Streamer Eyes Reboots Of Warner Bros. TV TGIF Comedies Like ‘Step by Step’, ‘Perfect Strangers’ & ‘Family Matters’ – Deadline

Seinfield will go to WarnerMedia in 2021 after the Hulu deal is up, Friends is being pulled from Netflix. Idk how original shows like "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" and "YOU" work regarding Netflix since they're WB productions and Netflix are just listed as "Distributors" unlike Netflix's Marvel joints which were created exclusively for Netflix. Same with the recently announced "Sandman".

All this means is that nikkas who used to bootleg the shyt and stopped because of the convienance/quality of streaming will go back to bootlegging shyt they don't feel like paying for(if popo is reading this, I'm speaking rhetorically). If cats got tired of paying for cable, what makes you think they'd be comfortable keeping up with more recurring bill payments for multiple streaming services? The streaming bubble will burst just like the cable bubble did. These networks will recoup their losses, from their failed streaming services, by reverting to getting paid from the OG streaming providers to license their properties. Do you really think CBS All Access will last that long? Same for whatever NBC is calling their shyt? Disney+ might, actually will probably, be gucci, but that's pretty much it. Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime Video have the install base and will be able to pay the big networks/studios to let them play their shyt

Was pirating before netflix. Will pirate after. No shame in my game.

Im keeping netflix and i'll also cop disney + for the mcu originals. Everything else goes on the external!

But yea most of this are fights for legendary sitcoms. It's better to just own all that yourself. I have full series downloads of

Martin
Fresh Prince
Living Single
Bernie Mac
Girlfriends
Jamie Foxx
Seinfeld
King Of Queens
Friends
The Office
Boy Meets world

All on my harddrive.

I only pay 175 per month for DirectTV
Get everything I want.
I don't understand the streaming fad.

Maybe because the rest of us are only spending less then 50$ a month and we also get everything we want

That's not exactly what Netflix model currently is. They are spending billions on original content. Yes, they will buy up rights to movies and/or shows but most of their original content are deals that they have struck with creators to make these shows..

Netflix is paying creators billions to make shows for them exclusively. If the shows are good like on the level of Narcos or Stranger Things people gonna continue to sub

Their original content isn't what brought the people in though, it was older material. They recently changed their model, and you've sen an increase because of the forecast of the industry. Only a very small percentage will pick OG Netflix shows over older stuff. Early in the game, I was noticing that most of their OG shows were along the lines of stuff I would watch on BBC. Very few watch BBC, unless the internet Hive-Mind popularity take over. Especially at them batting like .200 with what becomes popular. The creators/production companies will go with whatever is more beneficial, and the powerhouses aren't even set up yet. Currently it was Netflix, but it won't be in the near future. Netflix will end up being for more Indie studios/projects. What will hurt them is the same thing that brought them, no real connections to the studios.

Listen I have a VPN and a NewsGroups account

1. Netflix will get my money (for now) because they are consistent with it

2. I get HBO for free via my AT&T bill

3. I get the Amazon shyt because I have Amazon Prime


Other than that, I'm not paying for shyt. These companies will learn the hard way that their desire to maximize profit is not a feasible game plan in a world where I can acquire EXACTLY what I want for FREE.

meh I think these new streaming platforms are in for a rude awakening.
they're not gonna take off like they're hoping. Folks aren't buying all of these. I think majority of people will have Netflix, Disney, and Prime (mainly for the shipping not the TV) and that's it.

I was actually wondering what's going to happen to syndication with all of these networks getting into the stream game? They make more off syndication rights than they'll probably make off streaming but if you pull all these shows off streaming do you pull them from syndication? If not isn't that kinda half assing it?

You would think they'd learn from the music industry and then stream service war from a few years ago

torrent gang never loses

Last few years been rough tho my nikka

Netflix, HULU/Disney+, and Amazon. I also have VRV and Funimation for anime. That’s it for me. My mom has Xfinity and I use her login info for anything else I want to watch. In exchange she uses my Netflix and Amazon.

How is Funimation? I was wondering about the amount of content they could possibly have

Ever since I found KissAnime, I threw Funimation in the bushes. It has every Funimation joint on there for free in HD
