Netflix announces deal to buy WB and HBO

[MGibster]

I saw someone on BlackTwitter say they were preparing to introduce Gen Z to a new streaming service called Cable.

Or the 7 seas, yarr

If it lets me watch Superman and Casablanca on Netflix, I'll consider this a good thing.

Netflix is well run, and WB is a dumpster fire, so seems like a positive move.

Continue the price increases, this will.

Netflix Super Channel is Chill

I wonder how many seats in the big beautiful ballroom this merger costs. The cost to the consumer will be much higher.

... I can't think that this could possibly be a good thing

It's far better than Paramount being the buyer. They've already turned CBS News and 60 Minutes into a joke in their pursuit of mergers. They deserve nothing.

There’s no way they just suddenly merge all that content onto Netflix. Or if they do, it will come with yet another price increase. I’m betting they keep all the services separate, but then add a convenient set of bundles (at a slight discount).

I don’t know - I’m sure someone will be along to tell me this is all a good thing because nothing directly is happening to me, and any worries I have are all my imagination.

Suddenly, no...but ultimately, probably.
