They need more not shitty original content.

Are they going to pull ESPN from Sling too? If so then goodbye ESPN.


It's possible their deal has been amended over time but originally ESPN set it up to where if Sling went over a certain subscriber number they would automatically yank their content.

As long as Netflix can put out good original content they will be fine.


They have 8.3 B in long term debt and pay 135m a quarter in interest expense. They’ll need to create content to not only keep but attract new subscribers.

Given the crap they’ve been putting out and the move to the left, they’ll be done in few years or acquired.

Disney+ wont be any type of threat to Netflix if all it offers is the streaming of its movies and shows. Consumers are begging for one streaming service that can offer them movies, tv shows, and live streaming of events. If Disney+ can integrate live ESPN into their platform along with live news and events then they can possibly take the entire market.

The problem is you have dipshit parents who will buy into this then not care about the price increases. They are the reason Disney will do this and be able to continue raising prices. All because they don't want to deal with little Brayden crying because he can't watch Frozen

They are produced by the BBC however they are limited to Netflix in the US.

Castle Rock and the Handmaids tale are two more.

Disney puts a blockbuster like Avengers Endgame on its platform the same day it opens in theaters. After a few weeks it’s no longer in theaters. You can’t buy it. You can’t rent it. The only way to watch is to subscribe to Disney’s steaming service, Disney+.


So, Disney is going to bully people into using their service. Sounds about right.

They're improving on series volume for sure but there's still only a handful of AAA-caliber shows. They need to improve on quality or the studio property siloing will bury them.


I have not been using Netflix that much past couple of months. Even before this I found i had been using Prime more. I think a couple of shows are coming up on Netflix that I watch, but after that I was probably going to drop and see how it goes. As price has gone up I am finding series I watched cancelled and not replaced often enough by anything I care to watch.

A lot of the stuff Netflix keeps pushing to me in notifications I have have also had zero interest in or if I have some it ends up being in another language. I wondered if recommendations were better with star system, but maybe they are just limited in matching stuff to us lately and just push their content anyway.

Netflix is mostly original content now. They have been preparing for this.

Apparently all the big media conglomerates have researched and found the same number: the average household is comfortable subscribing to 4 or 5 streaming services (people who keep cable will obviously carry fewer).

Netflix and Disney will easily be 2 of the 4. Hulu and Amazon will be the most carried of the rest. Disney+ doesn't kill Netflix, but it puts a hell of a stress on CBS and Comcast.

There are so many contracts ESPN has for TV rights to air live sporting events, though, that I don't know how they just suddenly up and tell cable to get bent all at once. For instance, the SEC Network is just ESPN. Their contract runs out at a different time than the ACC network, which is also just ESPN and will launch for this year's football season. So, if you want to watch Alabama or Clemson games, you're watching ESPN and those are two huge bandwagon teams, so that's a lot of eyes. I have no clue how that interplays with ESPN's contracts with each of the individual cable companies. For instance, ESPN has exclusive rights to air lots of stuff, but do the cable companies have semi-exclusive rights to be the medium that ESPN uses? I have no idea.

Lots of moving parts there to sort out if ESPN wants to take its ball and go home.

They will seriously need to step their game up. So far I’m not overly impressed


They’ve been the most successful than any other service by a mile in terms of original content

Whether you are into it or not, they’ve legitimized an entire industry and have a few legit properties that other networks/ services would’ve killed to have made
