Because they did it by having most of their accounts as free Ad supported and they make thier money by old school 1970's style ads.  Hollywood is trying to integrate everything into the corporate structure.  Also trying to get back to the good old days of if you watch it, you watch ads.   Disney has publicly stated via their Chairman that they want most people off of premium service and on add supported cheaper accounts because they will be far more profitable if enough eyballs are on the cheaper accounts.  Problem is they haven't been able to sell it to the consumer.    The streaming industry has run like a startup, high spend low profit and in some cases no profit, now they have debt, low profit margins, they are cutting into  the high profit struff like  New Movies, and suddenly everyone wants to have a streaming service because revenues are down.   At lest half of the streaming services have to die or be absorbed.   Premium Accounts have to become very expensive and viewers need to get used to a more old school  70's release schedule and quit  demanding High budget episodic content or after the streaming industry consolidates we may see some studio's and other big players fade away like Blockbuster. The trillion dollar question is will enough consumers go back to ads?</blockquote>
