I still have cable and honestly don’t see dropping it anytime in the near future …
Hulu and other services have some shows that are exclusive to the streaming side of things, so they would not be available to cable-only customers.Some of it, yeah, Though the AMC and Hulu stuff definitely has an expiration date with my cable sub.
Yes, also true.Hulu and other services have some shows that are exclusive to the streaming side of things, so they would not be available to cable-only customers.
We debate deleting Disney+ every month. They've doled out decent Marvel content just often enough to keep us subscribed most of the year. (The Star Wars content, if anything, has worked to actively drive us away, other than Mandalorian and Andor.)I have deliberated about cutting Disney+ as they just don't seem to have stuff I am interested in, but my spouse loves it so we keep it.
They have a good amount of quality content, but they make it really hard to discover it. It's astonishing how bad their apps are, even after the recent revamp.Only reason I keep Amazon Prime is for the free shipping.
Most of the streamers are going to have an ad-supported tier before the end of 2023.So I suppose I'm one that is also considering cutting the cord. If they move to have advertising in there for those who pay subscriptions though, it would become a no brainer. One reason to cut Netflix.
Oh, a lot of the stuff Chapek is getting dinged for are the results of strategies that precede him. But if you get paid $11 bajillion a year, it's your job to make changes when necessary and get thrown overboard when things go wrong. No one needs to weep for him.No idea to the drama behind the scenes but Chapek has a whiff of fall guy.
Yeap, I cant imagine too many people get excited for deep catalogs that include Quantum Leap and Rockford Files. I mean, nostalgia is fun, but it wears thing quickly.I miss early on in the Streaming Age when everything was on two or three streaming services. I think the property owners are taking big risks thinking they own enough content to go it their own way.
