    Soooo, does that mean consumers have one less streaming service to subscribe to or would Netflix just do a price hike to make up for it?

      Oh yes, market concentration definitely improves the user experience in the long run.

      Probably like Disney/Hulu

      They’ll try a bundle deal to see if people pay for it, then if not slowly bleed shows from one service to another.

      Maybe eventually combine them but they’ll try to keep paying for both as long as possible
