The CEO of NBCUniversal parent Comcast said it’s “more likely than not” the company will end up selling its third of Hulu to Disney, after his Mouse counterpart indicated clearly last week that thi…

Disney Plus is going to be rocking in the 2nd half of the year between Ahsoka, Loki season 2, the three Doctor Who specials (for those outside the UK), Dial of Destiny, GotG V3, and Elemental all hitting streaming before the end of the year. And season three of Only Murders on Hulu in August. Plus whatever the merger of D+ and Hulu will look like.

Yeah, D+ actually looks pretty compelling once that stuff starts rolling, even without the Hulu integration. (But if it gets Hulu, that means the new Justified series as well, which is more than worth subscribing to a streaming service for.)

Disney+ Announces Removal of Content: Will Marvel Movies & Shows Get Dropped?
Since Disney announced the removal of select Disney+ content, the question is whether that will affect Marvel movies or Disney+ series.

I talked to a web developer once, back when Amazon was still new-ish, about how hard it was to find dvd release dates on Blockbuster's website but how easy it was to find it on Amazon, and they pointed out that this is because Amazon started as an online marketplace, but Blockbuster started as a bricks-and-mortar retailer. So, Amazon was built entirely for making products easy to find and buy on your computery device.
This might be part the problem with Prime's streaming interface - streaming service interfaces should work differently than interfaces designed for finding that gewgaw you need to buy, and Amazon's whole thinking is geared toward the latter.
Netflix started with disc rental, but they pioneered into streaming and started that boom, and they've got it down pat.
I was just thinking last night that we subscribe to too many streaming services, and that we need to pick a few that we just dip into occasionally. I really appreciate having access to all the services we have, but a better approach might be to stick with one or two until we're kind of done with them for the time being, and then switch to one or two others for a while, and so forth. I don't think there's a single streaming service I "need" to have all the time.
