    If things keep going the way they seem to be, we’re going to end up back with the same thing as old cable channel packages and ads on all streaming services.

      I think so. And then history will rhyme and we will end up with something less centralized again.

    It will get shittier. Because everything continues to be allowed to merge, and studios are still allowed to own streaming channels.

    Disney and Amazon are going to buy all other streaming services and we’ll have a duopoly

      Probably something similar to this. Possibly a three-way (Netflix?), but Disney and Amazon are probably the most obvious 800 lb gorillas in the room.

      I think Apple can actually buy disney like 10x now. Disney isnt the biggest fish in the ocean.

    All of these will blend with each other and all these vertical shorts. Linear TV is already legacy technology, which does not allow targeted advertising, etc…

    And of course GenAI everywhere because it’s cheaper.
