I'm all about free tv/movies but, come on it's not that expensive to share a Netflix and Hulu account. And no way it's the second piracy age. No one pirates as much as they did from 2000-2010. However, I do have Showbox which I had for so many years I forget it's illegal streaming:p
@@MGamerkid I'm not talking about right this moment. I'm talking about the near future described in the video. It's easy to subscribe to 5 different services but I bet mos people don't want to do that so they'll just pirate something for the convenience.
crunchy simple, watch something for a month, then cancel! What do you have to stick to one service. I had Disney for a month, watched Mandolrian and then canceled. Also, it’s was my daughter’s Disney+ anyway! 😂
"The golden age of streaming is now coming to an end and we are now entering the subscription era" ...funny how you pronounce "back on board boys. We're sailing again under the black."
@Im not racist I swear Weird, isn't? Fragmentations will be terrible. Why sub to many streaming services, other than Netflix, just to watch one show on each one of it?
And AP has pretty good shows. I was even able to watch the Sopranos and The Wire, which normally you would have to pay for an HBO GO subscription to watch ANY HBO show. But not on here. Saw with my AP subscription. So it was pretty dope to say the least.
you mean the like 20% of shows and movies that prime has on there for free except for paying for prime. most of the shows and movies are only for renting on there so you have to basically go back to a sort of digital blockbuster just to watch all the interesting things on prime.
@@NortheastGamer the key word here is "was popular". Most wouldn't know how to download content from famous sites, let alone keep an account in a private one.
@@AugustoRallo I mean, they figured it out as kids, I'm not sure why you think they can't figure it out as thirty year olds, nor do I understand your obvious hatred for people in this particular age group. The same people who are the ones working everyday to keep your world running right now.
@@Davitofrito Yeah market streaming service market will be over saturated, and it is like it will get to the point where you just won't have the money to watch everything.
Who would have thought that stuffing adds in an already overpriced cable package, and the alternative being split apon 20 different services costing even more makes people not want to pay anymore...
That would be true if torrents had high quality, but the majority of them are compressed to hell and have stuff like their AC3 plus audio streams stripped out and reduced to stereo. That may work for you poor folks watching on tiny laptop screens, but for those of us with actual real sound and video setups is horrifyingly bad.
Lightseid What part of my comment did you miss? Apparently all of it. Some of us with actual, well performing home theaters don’t want to watch shit quality.
I once saw a comic that went: "Hey Netflix is pretty good! Goodbye ol Pirate hat, we had some good times." then he looks at all the streaming services that want all his money. "Welcome back Pirate hat. Good to see you again old friend."
The reason Netflix was good was because it was most of the shows you wanted to watch where in one place for one price now I have Netflix and amazon prime but Netflix is not as good as it was I could watch Netflix all day now I am finding it harder to find shows and movies I want to watch unfortunately prime is not much better
kylewil12plays Because all the big studios are reclaiming their content for their new streaming site. So the result is that every streaming service is slowly obligated to only use their own productions and contents.
prime is terrible lol. idk if maybe their algorithm just sucks but I've only ever been recommended good shows like, twice. half of the shit on there requires you to pay for a channel subscription in addition to the prime sub you already pay for. I literally only pay for prime bc I buy a lot of shit online and want the free same day shipping.
there are 4 main pirate phrases: 1. ARGHHHHH! 2. WALK THE PLANK MATEY! 3...THATS SOME GOOD RUM! 4. I'm not paying 15 bucks a month just to watch The Office!
Lmao these companies except that I’m gonna pay $10 for 14 streaming services. I’m gonna keep paying for Netflix and pirate or simply skip out on the rest.
You could also cancel your Netflix start another one for a month and then cancel that then restart But sticking only to Netflix with a yearly package is cheaper
I think we'll just see more people start torrenting as the pricing becomes unbearable. People will find ways to watch what they want, even if they can't afford the legal option
Crazelord91 With the right app you can view 4K videos. It’s safer since you don’t have the content on your physical device. Check out CyberFlix. Before that it was Terrarium. Changed the way I watch tv. Everything is available and high quality. I just side-loaded it onto my fire tv.
Crazelord91 I used to torrent quite a bit before Netflix. Had a media center between my iMac and PS3. Worked well for a long time. Still works but I don’t use it. Now I will sometimes torrent for books or comics.
2005 Customer: "I want to watch my favorite show but it not on right now." Pirate: "Why wait, when you can download it? Here you go kid." **Hands copy of episode to Customer** Customer: "Sweet! Thanks!" 2013 Customer: "I want to watch my favorite show." Pirate: "I got your copy right here." Customer: "No thanks, I got Netflix. I'll watch it when I get home." 2019: Customer: "I want to watch my favorite show but it not on Netflix." Pirate: **Flashes episodes** Customer: "... Do you have (enter show here) from Disney+?" Pirate: "do you like 4k, 1080 or 720?"
as long as the pirates don't put any scams or viruses into those AND streaming services won't fix the issue of exclusivity, piracy is literally providing a better service than all other platforms, let alone being free.
People dont HAVE to have anything. We choose to have and pay for it or not. You dont like McDonalds dont eat it. They are a business they sell hamburgers if you want to buy one they will sell it to you. Deal or dont deal with companies. You still have a choice.
Its not really a threat It's just the natural progression of things, piracy occurs because paying for it is either not valuable enough or convenient enough. Steam pretty much ended piracy for video games, yeah it still exists but if piracy wasn't an option, then those pirates would just not have the game, so it's not really worth considering a lost sale. However, with the introduction of the exclusivity age from Epic Games, Piracy is starting to see a bit of a spike. Anything not available on steam is far more likely to be pirated. Anything exclusive to a service will be pirated over a critical mass causing a likely chance of the game severely under performing financially.
Game of thrones is already most pirated since early 2010's...and HBO just don't give a f*ck...they are billion dollar entity they can get all the data and analytics they needed on how many people pirating their content... If the ratio of pirates are big enough they'll just gonna sue those sites...
@@jon-unicorn-doxxer they don't because it would cost more money than its worth too sue also alot of these sights are hosted in Russia or on Asian servers which could careless about copyright
They just hurting themselves by pulling content plus netflix exclusives are great too. These other streaming services are trying to charge more for less content and a less developed platform so hard pass.
@@mobmaniac In some cases, yes, but in this case no. Things were going great with Netflix. Then everyone decided to make their own platform with less content and pull their content from Netflix. Instead of making things cheaper or service better, it made content less available and on smaller, less supported platforms. Now you have to pay through the roof for what used to cost a single Netflix subscription.
@@mobmaniacThat IS monopolistic though. If it were a truly free market, all the services would have the same shows. It's the monopoly of copyright that stops this.
@@AlmightyCRJ that is true, however copyright isnt a bad thing tho, the problem is with exclusivity, copyright is a good monopoly, but having exclusive shows makes services not have to compete with eachother or improve in any way
Amazon is already like this. They are one "storefront" where you can subscribe to channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. for a monthly fee or buy them all for a lump sum (aka cable). Sucks that it seems like Amazon could eat all the other companies and become the only cable provider.
stratus10601 no one would have left cable if it wasn't so antiquated and slow.. with commercials all over the place.. this is cables TV fault for not adapting fast enough.. or even at all.
Well, we have to see how it pans out because - quite honestly - I think that this won't work out for the companies. While I think Disney will be fine because they have so much content, some companies won't have enough subscribers to make it more profitable than selling streaming licences. At least I'm hoping that'll be the case.
I have a prediction: You will only have MAIN 4 streaming services by the end. Prime, Disney, Warner Media, and Comcast. Netflix will ultimately go under because they can't compete in this market they created since they rushed the future. WB and Comcast probably would have waited to create their services but Netflix wouldn't bargain with them anymore when they started to have success with their originals. No new studio or production company can compete with ones that has been around for literally 100 years.
@@RaghunandanReddyC any of the studios can easily overtake Netflix. The studios have IP. If WB does Batman and Harry Potter series and puts all their movies on their service. If Comcast does a Fast and Furious and a Minions series plus all their movies. Netflix can't compete with that.
@@harrisd1983 I think that Netflix cancellation of the Marvel series is a signal that they understand the can't depend on this IP. That's why they have entered into a partnership with Dark Horse comics (Umbrella Academy, Polar) looking for IP not owned by any studio
@Hallucinogenichusky Piracy is convenience. Something consumers love. The more media companies take convenience away from streaming, the more consumers will turn back to piracy.
The whole reason internet was included in the price was because internet is part of the cable package too. Cable companies give you discounts on "bundles"
Fascinating, almost a year later and it's just as they've said. Though honestly, how much video content can you consume given that you still have to work, raise a family, etc.? My downtime is precious so I'm either catching some videos on RUclips or watching shows on Netflix and then I have literally no time for anything else before I have to go back to work the next day and if I decide to game instead that's even less time to watch anything. Some people will have more free time than others especially now with everyone stuck at home due to the pandemic, but after that passes and people go back to work, I think it's more likely we'll see consumers learn to do without some content in favor of other content.
I think the biggest problem is how convenient everything is now. Like you said most people dont have time to binge shows all day. Buts its cool to have one or 2 services your subscribed to for wherever. But because everything's getting more exclusive and cable is such a hassle it I'll be harder for casual viewers to get services. I wish free tv wasnt so limited and cable wasnt such a RIP off
As a child I was alwayse disgusted and confused. Pa had to pay big money for basic, and even then we got commercials on stations we paid for in the first damn place. If you have ads your product should be free. You also don't need to overload the ads, we are a dedicated audience not walking around the house during commercials on tv. Streaming ads should pay companies higher than broadcast, and keep services free for the viewers.
I used to watch Hulu for anime... but when it got to 4 ads per break and 2-3 breaks for one 20 minute show stretched out to 30+ minutes, I was pretty much done with it. That was before they removed their free account. Definitely not using Hulu now if you have to pay to watch the ads.
No matter how many streaming apps I had, I still found myself spending more time searching for content than actually watching it. In my case more streaming options never equated to less searching and more hours viewing. When I realized this I cut my streaming services to only two a month- RUclips and generally a service I can get a deal on for a specific period of time. Now I simply keep track of shows I enjoy and toggle back and forth between services every few months, binge and catch up.
Netflix will have ads eventually, it's sad really... they're going to start losing out to piracy because they become over priced by both raising the price and lowering the number of available shows, when that happens they have to increase the amount of money you get without actually raising prices. It's sad how unsustainable business practices keep being employed over and over again.
Blake Belladonna, right now I have a 3 month free CBS all access. I agree about paying only $1-$3 per month, would be worth that service. I've watched the few shows that imho are worth watching, and still have almost 2 months to go. I put my Hulu on freeze for those 3 months, and will go back to using it. So much more content, and worth the $12 to be without ads. francisco godoy, I agree about most if not all will only use 2 to 3 max. Another option I might do is to buy a service for a month or two, binge what's good, then cancel. I can rotate through each service. That way I'm only paying for one at a time.
Netflix had a better selection in the 2000's back when it was DVD. It had literally every DVD release. Then once it went to streaming I noticed Netflix's variety slowly started becoming more restricted, and 95% of the stuff that Netflix used to offer is no longer even on Netflix anymore, yet the prices keep going up for the same service that was once cheaper, even their DVD/Blu-ray selection is far less than what it used to be (still more of a selection on DVD/blu-ray compared to their streaming offerings though). Netflix has turned into an "original content" platform and that seems to be what they are focusing on now, they want to be the next NBC basically. And yes having memberships for multiple different services is a huge waste of money! You are better off OWNING the content you like, because it does not last long on any streaming platforms, and also many streaming platforms don't even offer all the episodes if they have an available show, you are basically being told what you can and can not watch, and you are paying for it and can never own it!
Well you’re in luck because I have a tingly feeling in my back that’s it gonna revert back to a non greedy DVD company again but sadly Netflix originals will probably pay the price but the good news is that they’ll be DVD’s too but that does mean that Netflix will go back to just having Sitting Ducks Season 1 again.
I haven't had cable in like 10 years and not going to get a bunch of subscriptions either. I'll just find the one that fits me the best and go with that one.
just pirate until the streaming services get the message, currently piracy is the only competitor, streaming services dont compete against eachother cause they dont share many shows and in the future they'll share less, so the quality and value of the services will drop but their price will increase and you'll be forced to buy all of them, so most people pirate (wich will happen) the services will have to change, and the best change possible is the ban of exclusivity (as it will literally fix all the problems and force the services to have to actually improve), or at the very least ban of exclusivity on anything not directly made by the services' direct company
Eras of tv Analog Era (1950s-1990s) Golden Cable Era (1990s - Early 2010s) Golden Streaming Era (Early 2010s - 2019) Streaming Wars Era (2019-Present) In this era titans will die. Survival ofnthe fitest.
This is where illegal streaming sites that require adblocker come in, and when this starts happening en masse maybe companies will change their practices to be more pro consumer.
Elderly? I'm not even 45 and I can't remember which show is on which one of my four streaming subscriptions. I'm about ready just to buy stuff on Vudu and subscribe to nothing.
or just pay for non and hack it all, netflix has to fix this issue also, if netflix cared for fixing the issue they would publicly speak about needing to ban exclusivity
@@cloroxbleach5687 netflix is definetly not the underdog, they're the biggest streaming service there is they just arent tied to a company like disney lmao
You missed the biggest problem: live TV streaming services like RUclips TV force you to buy an entire package of channels that you don't even want to watch -- the EXACT reason people cut the cord in the first place.
lol u guys must be fun at parties. it’s a title that’s meant to be eye grabbing and general. it literally doesn’t impact the video and aka has a different use beyond it’s dictionary use. ANY linguist would tell you that.
sklort mcfungus no, no it doesn’t. Aka is an abbreviation for “also known as”. That is it’s only use and purpose. The phrase this guy was looking for was indeed “i.e”
I just pay for Netflix and pirate everything else they don't have such as Game of Thrones, but I'm at the edge of cancelling my subscription because they keep raising the prices every 2 months.
I think one advantage is the “bingability” of streaming services. In a month you can basically finish all the shows you were interested in on one platform then cancel your subscription or even watch it on a friend/family’s account. So you only have to maybe have 2 subscriptions yourself that offer the majority of your interests. I also don’t think you can necessarily add the full cost of your internet service granted you do far more with it as well.
AKA is an initialism. Initialism: "An abbreviation consisting of initial letters pronounced separately (e.g. BBC)." Acronyms are different: "An abbreviation formed from the initial letters of other words and pronounced as a word (e.g. ASCII, NASA)." From lexico.com
Tablets will never be laptops though. Only the Microsoft surface is truly both. The ipad and similar things can have a keyboard slapped onto them, but they are now and have always been...big phones. If an ipad replaces your laptop it's because you were barely using your laptop, not because the ipad has become a laptop.
Austin Pearce I've got an Acer Switch V.10 that begs to differ😂 But seriously, most "tablets" run a phones processing power on Android firmware... Like an oversized phone.
The game is different here is India. Both Cable and streaming are growing here, Cable costs an average 3-5$ per month whereas streaming apps cost way more. But we buy it anyway for quality content. So it's basically a win for both.
Why would anybody subscribe to all those channels at once. Just have one service for a couple of months and when you've seen all the shows you want to see, switch to something else for a couple months and during the holidays switch over to Disney streaming or whatever. Subscribing to multiple channels at once is a complete waste of money, because there are only so many hours in a day.
I'm just going to buy DVDs/ Blue Ray again. that way they can't just randomly take something down that I enjoy watching, I'll own it and unless the disc breaks they can't take it away from me.
@@wizkidgamer9942 I can't tell you how many times i've seen good reviews for something on Rotten Tomatoes or RUclips and it was absolute garbage, so i don't trust anybodys opinion until i've seen it myself.

@@lunacron valid point about Rotten Tomatoes, at this point the only thing rotten with those people is the whole damnable website.

As important as the Net Neutrality battle is, this has nothing to do with that. This is entirely due to the fact that all the major media moguls want a piece of the streaming pie.
@@Megacooltommydee Net neutrality is relevant to this discussion because of its potential to have a huge effect on consumer prices. If ISPs can throttle whoever they want, the media companies will be forced to pay whatever the ISPs demand to keep the content streaming smoothly. The loss of net neutrality will have way more impact than the "subscription age" on consumer prices for content.
I've been saying this for a bit now, it's like a new condo, they're great and cheap at first until they realize the actual needed operating costs to be sustainable, or when any major upgrades are needed. Then the price goes up to maintain. Cable has already been at that point for a while now with its massive infrastructure and content base. The future is going to be interesting.
It's extremely disingenuous to include the internet service cost in your comparison. Who doesn't have internet already? That's something we are all already paying for.
BUT, he probably bundles his cable and internet, making his internet cheaper than buying it alone. I think the video could have made that part clearer but I do think it’s important to keep in mind.
There's only so much content you can watch anyway... I regularly cancel and restart streaming subscriptions to avoid paying for all of them in the same month.
Also I think internet is cheaper outside of the US because there aren't a bunch of monopolies that force you to have obsolete cable connections. Also the free entertainment on the internet is far better than for TV; RUclips, BBC iPlayer, crunchyroll Vs like 30 crappy channels
I pay 35€ for 200mbs down here in Austria. If there is a show I want to watch I just stream it "illegaly". I'm not paying anything. Unless I reaky like a show, then I buy the Blue Ray.
if that happens i'll go back to the free "streaming services". I pay for netflix and recently got now tv as well which i will be cancelling after the free trial due to netflix just being a lot more user friendly (can watch it in browser). I see this happening to game services at the moment it used to be just steam now there's epic games, discord, steam, origin, etc.... I only have steam and i refuse to download any others i dont want my pc full of game services just like i don't want my browser full of streaming services.
And people have dismissed Blu-rays, DVDs and digital copies because of streaming services that can consolidate their media like this. Think it's time people start looking into physical media again.
Paid by the cable/internet service companies to make it sound like the cheaper source. It's some crazy reverse psychology they doing here. See cable ain't that bad it's actually cheaper than all those nifty streaming services.
Internet is $79.99 for me, but they offered a $79.99 for internet plus cable bundle on a two year contract then spike the prices to around $180 after the premium trial.
Dude I've been fearing this for years! I was cool with Netflix and hulu, but then I started noticing hbo and Starz. Then I'm like oh look cable is finally catching on, pretty soon it's gonna be replaced by every brand having their own bs subscription service. Then CBS, and now Disney 🤦🏾♂️
"I was cool with Netflix and hulu, but then I started noticing hbo and Starz" Ironic, since it was premium cable channels like HBO and Starz which made TV watching cool and paved the way for Netflix to move beyond DVDs.
Right, makes me wonder what all these people do when they can watch all those live action shows, movies and play video games. Where do you people find the time?
Not necessarily. They might keep their Hulu and Disney-Streaming and ESPN. Let's say there's one Disney-Mega-Stream, for let's say hypothetically $20. Then the maximum amount of money they can get out of customers is that $20. However, if they keep them separated, with a ~$12 price for each platform, they will make more money. While some people will only be subscribed to one of those and pay 12$, enough people will be subscribed to two, meaning $12+$12 = $24. That's already more than the $20 "Mega-Stream". If someone is subscribed to all three because of FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) that's a whopping $36 Disney makes. If the vast majority of people are subscribed to two services, that'll more than offset those that are only on one, and ontop of that you got those subscribed to all three. The alternative is that Disney is gonna make one "Mega-Streaming" platform for $20, but then section off parts of it: "Buy the ESPN-Bundle for $5! Join the StarWars bundle for $6! Subscribe to the Food Bundle for $4! Get the Dad+Mom Bundle which includes ESPN+Food for only $8! Get the Family Bundle which includes ESPN+StarWars+Food for only $11!" I think this is the most likely scenario.
Disney+ is the service for general-interest Disney-owned content. ESPN+ includes all of the sports channels, as well as exclusive sports programming. FX+ is the service for the edgiest Disney-owned content, and that one will likely be repositioned to compete in the category of HBO Now. And, Hulu will be the service for licensed content and for traditional cable channels, including those from third parties. The Walt Disney Company has already said that various bundles and tiers will be offered in a way that will probably be like Hulu's packages with Spotify Premium.
Rent Netflix, watch all the stuff, cancel subscription. Then do the same for Hulu, then Amazon etc etc Or just get together with ya grog drinking shanty singers and hit the digital high sea.
The nice thing about streaming is that you can easily cancel one service and get another. When you do that you'll get all the past shows the new service has. Then when you're caught up with the shows you like, you can go back to the one you previously cancelled. Sure there's going to be some huge event shows you have to watch right away. So I had to subscribe to HBO to get Game of Thrones, but I also watched Doom Patrol and Westworld while I have the subscription. Those shows I wouldn't have subscribed for, but while I have the subscription I'll watch them. Once I've seen all the Shows HBO has to offer, I'll cancel it and maybe Subscribe for a few months a year and a half from now. Theoretically you should be able to do something similar with cable, but they tend to want to lock you into packages for a year and bullshit like that. And because streaming companies are separate entities, I can choose to not subscribe to sine of them if their terms aren't acceptable. It didn't work that way with cable companies. You buy their packages or you get nothing.
And no one will care because torrents are still a thing. The way to beat it is for the dumb media companies to agree to put their content on one platform to consolidate users. Make piracy less convenient and you win, make it more convenient and no, I'm not going to sign up for your 5 different services for $15 per month each.
In theory free streaming services such as Pluto, Tubi, IMDBTV and others are a hybridization of cable and broadcast in that you can select an uncensored and unedited movie or program paid for with advertising. An option to pay a fee for no advertising could be offered as well.
@@matthew8153 5 months late, but here's the explaination : i was going by the Bioshock Infinite version of the lyrics , not the original ones from Johnny Cash ,:D
And this is where torrents pick back up. Netflix beat piracy because it's easy and _convenient_ - managing 10 different subscriptions you use for only one show each? Yeah, no. There's a reason Netflix did well in the era of piracy. Yar har fiddle te dee.
No more so than cable was. The real issue is the clusterfuck that is American copyright law, granting rights to content long after it should’ve gone public.
The only reason I still have a netflix account is because I share i with others (family members). And they share their hulu with me. Most of the time I don't use either. I know how to find and stream most things for free if I have to. So I have thought about cancelling my netflix many times over the last few years now to save money. Bu I keep it for the family members that use it.
How about this - I have not paid for a piece of entertainment or media for the last 10 years... As long as the net remains decentralized than and only than will our experiences be free. Torrents, streams, the internet has a much larger footprint than any of these streaming services could ever have.
The very worst part of all this is that the content on each streaming service depends on where in the world you live. So, if you want to actually access all the content you need to pay for VPN or go pirate.
A similar situation is also happening in the video game industry. Steam was a store platform that used to have a monopoly over PC video games, but the arrival of the Epic Games Store and its aggressive exclusivity deals have amassed ire among gamers. Video streaming subscribers may be used to platform exclusivities, but gamers are not and are vehemently opposed to it (and in extension, Epic Games' marketing practices) Nonetheless, times are changing and it would seem that media in general is entering the Subscription Age.
Including the $60 for internet is borderline being reasonable. You would have internet anyway, you just have more reasons now to have internet. But the fact is that you use the internet for email, browsing, conversations, social media, streaming music, streaming video, playing online games, purchasing offline games, etc.
I think the internet tax is more there for comparison's sake. For most people, their ISP is also their cable provider, so they usually bundle cable at a relatively cheaper price to convince you to keep it. In reality, he is spending $40 on his cable subscription ($100 for the bundle minus the $60 he'd already spend on internet), which is about what 4 streaming services would cost, so the main point still stands.
I own almost everything I enjoy watching and have my own streaming server so this isn’t a big deal. More expensive in the short term to buy what you want but over the long term much cheaper than multiple streaming services and constant tech upgrades to use those streaming services
The three favorite cable tv channels I used to watch, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, are all dead. They’ve been dead since 2013 because of Netflix. That along with Hulu and Amazon Prime have proved that cable TV is obsolete. Nowadays, the three channels Netflix killed have retaliated by making their own streaming channels, Disney+, Max and Paramount+, and are currently giving Netflix a taste of its own medicine. That’s what I call Karma. It’s the same old process of “Out with the old, in with the new.”
What monopoly? Disney is just smarter than many of its competitors because, while they are involved in hardware, operating systems, cable providers, satellite providers, Internet providers, mobile-phone networks, social media, and the like, Disney has been squarely focused on intellectual property and on building a library of owned content that can kill Netflix, which has always threatened to do to the movie business what Spotify has done to the music industry. The tech conglomerates, Apple, Google, and Amazon, as well as the vertically-integrated AT&T (Time Warner) and Comcast (NBC Universal), are the anti-competitive monopolists.
not really its like what happen to the music industry its too many people pirating my 80 year old grandma pirates streams off of a roku box it would cost them more money than its worth

@Im not racist I swear Weird, isn't? Fragmentations will be terrible. Why sub to many streaming services, other than Netflix, just to watch one show on each one of it?
A lot of people have amazon prime because of the shopping, the video part is bonus.
And AP has pretty good shows. I was even able to watch the Sopranos and The Wire, which normally you would have to pay for an HBO GO subscription to watch ANY HBO show. But not on here. Saw with my AP subscription. So it was pretty dope to say the least.
They have some pretty good shows I would recommend good omens and the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
I got prime 18 months free. And for even it's regular price its good value, even better for students
I find that their content is quite good, but the user interface is atrocious. I really like Man in the High Castle, which is a Prime original
you mean the like 20% of shows and movies that prime has on there for free except for paying for prime. most of the shows and movies are only for renting on there so you have to basically go back to a sort of digital blockbuster just to watch all the interesting things on prime.

That would be true if torrents had high quality, but the majority of them are compressed to hell and have stuff like their AC3 plus audio streams stripped out and reduced to stereo. That may work for you poor folks watching on tiny laptop screens, but for those of us with actual real sound and video setups is horrifyingly bad.

The reason Netflix was good was because it was most of the shows you wanted to watch where in one place for one price now I have Netflix and amazon prime but Netflix is not as good as it was I could watch Netflix all day now I am finding it harder to find shows and movies I want to watch unfortunately prime is not much better
kylewil12plays Because all the big studios are reclaiming their content for their new streaming site. So the result is that every streaming service is slowly obligated to only use their own productions and contents.
prime is terrible lol. idk if maybe their algorithm just sucks but I've only ever been recommended good shows like, twice. half of the shit on there requires you to pay for a channel subscription in addition to the prime sub you already pay for. I literally only pay for prime bc I buy a lot of shit online and want the free same day shipping.

@@brycepeltz Torrenting is superior imo. Offline viewing, higher quaility video, ability to stream on any device, etc
Crazelord91 With the right app you can view 4K videos. It’s safer since you don’t have the content on your physical device. Check out CyberFlix. Before that it was Terrarium. Changed the way I watch tv. Everything is available and high quality. I just side-loaded it onto my fire tv.

I'm back to my skull embedded tricone hat like in the old days.
I always have been
Every single comment is about piracy.... Almost as in threatening these companies 😂
Also the comments about weather and news are redundant the moment you consider free antenna tv (which still exists).
People dont HAVE to have anything. We choose to have and pay for it or not. You dont like McDonalds dont eat it. They are a business they sell hamburgers if you want to buy one they will sell it to you. Deal or dont deal with companies. You still have a choice.
Its not really a threat
It's just the natural progression of things, piracy occurs because paying for it is either not valuable enough or convenient enough. Steam pretty much ended piracy for video games, yeah it still exists but if piracy wasn't an option, then those pirates would just not have the game, so it's not really worth considering a lost sale.
However, with the introduction of the exclusivity age from Epic Games, Piracy is starting to see a bit of a spike. Anything not available on steam is far more likely to be pirated. Anything exclusive to a service will be pirated over a critical mass causing a likely chance of the game severely under performing financially.
Game of thrones is already most pirated since early 2010's...and HBO just don't give a f*ck...they are billion dollar entity they can get all the data and analytics they needed on how many people pirating their content... If the ratio of pirates are big enough they'll just gonna sue those sites...
@@jon-unicorn-doxxer they don't because it would cost more money than its worth too sue also alot of these sights are hosted in Russia or on Asian servers which could careless about copyright
They just hurting themselves by pulling content plus netflix exclusives are great too. These other streaming services are trying to charge more for less content and a less developed platform so hard pass.
Competition is the best for consumers. Having one monopoly controlling all online streaming would be a bad thing
mobmaniac that is a straw man
@@mobmaniac In some cases, yes, but in this case no. Things were going great with Netflix. Then everyone decided to make their own platform with less content and pull their content from Netflix. Instead of making things cheaper or service better, it made content less available and on smaller, less supported platforms. Now you have to pay through the roof for what used to cost a single Netflix subscription.
@@mobmaniacThat IS monopolistic though. If it were a truly free market, all the services would have the same shows. It's the monopoly of copyright that stops this.
@@AlmightyCRJ that is true, however copyright isnt a bad thing tho, the problem is with exclusivity, copyright is a good monopoly, but having exclusive shows makes services not have to compete with eachother or improve in any way

Some company will bundle all these subscriptions and offer it as a package and sell it to people aka back to TV lmfao
stratus10601 right! I get Hulu and Showtime through my subscription to Spotify 💁🏽♀️
Amazon is already like this. They are one "storefront" where you can subscribe to channels like HBO, Showtime, etc. for a monthly fee or buy them all for a lump sum (aka cable). Sucks that it seems like Amazon could eat all the other companies and become the only cable provider.
stratus10601 no one would have left cable if it wasn't so antiquated and slow.. with commercials all over the place.. this is cables TV fault for not adapting fast enough.. or even at all.
@ArcticZurite ha that's funny I've seen a couple but not a lot
Well, we have to see how it pans out because - quite honestly - I think that this won't work out for the companies.
While I think Disney will be fine because they have so much content, some companies won't have enough subscribers to make it more profitable than selling streaming licences.
At least I'm hoping that'll be the case.
I have a prediction:
You will only have MAIN 4 streaming services by the end. Prime, Disney, Warner Media, and Comcast.
Netflix will ultimately go under because they can't compete in this market they created since they rushed the future.
WB and Comcast probably would have waited to create their services but Netflix wouldn't bargain with them anymore when they started to have success with their originals.
No new studio or production company can compete with ones that has been around for literally 100 years.
Only Disney has a decent chance to compete or even over take Netflix. Probably prime video too because if it's 2 day free delivery system.
@@RaghunandanReddyC any of the studios can easily overtake Netflix. The studios have IP. If WB does Batman and Harry Potter series and puts all their movies on their service. If Comcast does a Fast and Furious and a Minions series plus all their movies.
Netflix can't compete with that.
@@harrisd1983 what about Apple? They have tons of cash to burn on creating content
@@harrisd1983 I think that Netflix cancellation of the Marvel series is a signal that they understand the can't depend on this IP. That's why they have entered into a partnership with Dark Horse comics (Umbrella Academy, Polar) looking for IP not owned by any studio

Internet is not included in the price because it's a necessity and used for much more than streaming. Also just use file sharing and it's free! 😊
@Hallucinogenichusky pretty sure he knows that
@Hallucinogenichusky Piracy is convenience. Something consumers love. The more media companies take convenience away from streaming, the more consumers will turn back to piracy.
The whole reason internet was included in the price was because internet is part of the cable package too. Cable companies give you discounts on "bundles"
"would you download a car"
P2P is pretty great.
People will pay for WiFi regardless of having streaming services or not. So Netflix is more like an add on than anything
Fascinating, almost a year later and it's just as they've said. Though honestly, how much video content can you consume given that you still have to work, raise a family, etc.? My downtime is precious so I'm either catching some videos on RUclips or watching shows on Netflix and then I have literally no time for anything else before I have to go back to work the next day and if I decide to game instead that's even less time to watch anything. Some people will have more free time than others especially now with everyone stuck at home due to the pandemic, but after that passes and people go back to work, I think it's more likely we'll see consumers learn to do without some content in favor of other content.
I think the biggest problem is how convenient everything is now. Like you said most people dont have time to binge shows all day. Buts its cool to have one or 2 services your subscribed to for wherever. But because everything's getting more exclusive and cable is such a hassle it I'll be harder for casual viewers to get services.
I wish free tv wasnt so limited and cable wasnt such a RIP off
Advertising has its place but not in my home...
Real shit, Mega-man

@@lastguyminn2324 hes probably paying for no commercials which is way more
As a child I was alwayse disgusted and confused. Pa had to pay big money for basic, and even then we got commercials on stations we paid for in the first damn place.
If you have ads your product should be free. You also don't need to overload the ads, we are a dedicated audience not walking around the house during commercials on tv.
Streaming ads should pay companies higher than broadcast, and keep services free for the viewers.
Hulu absolutely rapes you with ads. You can’t watch a 20 minute episode without watching 10 minutes of ads
I used to watch Hulu for anime... but when it got to 4 ads per break and 2-3 breaks for one 20 minute show stretched out to 30+ minutes, I was pretty much done with it. That was before they removed their free account. Definitely not using Hulu now if you have to pay to watch the ads.
No matter how many streaming apps I had, I still found myself spending more time searching for content than actually watching it. In my case more streaming options never equated to less searching and more hours viewing. When I realized this I cut my streaming services to only two a month- RUclips and generally a service I can get a deal on for a specific period of time. Now I simply keep track of shows I enjoy and toggle back and forth between services every few months, binge and catch up.
And once the growth phase of streaming business ends, here come the commercials!
theyre already here on hulu
@@0satanisboring0 those ads are why I stopped using hulu
Prime has ads, tough its for its owm shows
Netflix will have ads eventually, it's sad really... they're going to start losing out to piracy because they become over priced by both raising the price and lowering the number of available shows, when that happens they have to increase the amount of money you get without actually raising prices.
It's sad how unsustainable business practices keep being employed over and over again.
im not paying for ads it cuts the amount of content one can consume during the binge which is why I pirate
You're assuming everyone is gonna get every single streaming service when most if not all only will get 2 to 3 max.
@Blake Belladonna i wouldn't count on alot of people getting more than 3
Blake Belladonna, right now I have a 3 month free CBS all access. I agree about paying only $1-$3 per month, would be worth that service. I've watched the few shows that imho are worth watching, and still have almost 2 months to go.
I put my Hulu on freeze for those 3 months, and will go back to using it. So much more content, and worth the $12 to be without ads.
francisco godoy, I agree about most if not all will only use 2 to 3 max. Another option I might do is to buy a service for a month or two, binge what's good, then cancel. I can rotate through each service. That way I'm only paying for one at a time.
How about 0
or you could just get one this month binge everything cancel subscribe to a different one next month repeat
True. But by limiting the number of services you subscribe to, you will get less content than you get now with cable, or even with cable plus Netflix.

Netflix had a better selection in the 2000's back when it was DVD. It had literally every DVD release. Then once it went to streaming I noticed Netflix's variety slowly started becoming more restricted, and 95% of the stuff that Netflix used to offer is no longer even on Netflix anymore, yet the prices keep going up for the same service that was once cheaper, even their DVD/Blu-ray selection is far less than what it used to be (still more of a selection on DVD/blu-ray compared to their streaming offerings though). Netflix has turned into an "original content" platform and that seems to be what they are focusing on now, they want to be the next NBC basically. And yes having memberships for multiple different services is a huge waste of money! You are better off OWNING the content you like, because it does not last long on any streaming platforms, and also many streaming platforms don't even offer all the episodes if they have an available show, you are basically being told what you can and can not watch, and you are paying for it and can never own it!
Netflix still has DVD 📀 service
Well you’re in luck because I have a tingly feeling in my back that’s it gonna revert back to a non greedy DVD company again but sadly Netflix originals will probably pay the price but the good news is that they’ll be DVD’s too but that does mean that Netflix will go back to just having Sitting Ducks Season 1 again.

just pirate until the streaming services get the message, currently piracy is the only competitor, streaming services dont compete against eachother cause they dont share many shows and in the future they'll share less, so the quality and value of the services will drop but their price will increase and you'll be forced to buy all of them, so most people pirate (wich will happen) the services will have to change, and the best change possible is the ban of exclusivity (as it will literally fix all the problems and force the services to have to actually improve), or at the very least ban of exclusivity on anything not directly made by the services' direct company

I've been saying this for a bit now, it's like a new condo, they're great and cheap at first until they realize the actual needed operating costs to be sustainable, or when any major upgrades are needed. Then the price goes up to maintain. Cable has already been at that point for a while now with its massive infrastructure and content base. The future is going to be interesting.
It's extremely disingenuous to include the internet service cost in your comparison. Who doesn't have internet already? That's something we are all already paying for.
Exactly, the internet bill is in both equations. Therefore it cancels out and should not be added to either.
BUT, he probably bundles his cable and internet, making his internet cheaper than buying it alone. I think the video could have made that part clearer but I do think it’s important to keep in mind.
Everything about this video is moronic.

If there is a show I want to watch I just stream it "illegaly". I'm not paying anything.
Unless I reaky like a show, then I buy the Blue Ray.
Take what you can, seed everything back! Torrenting since about 2000. Only "paying" for Spotify, but it's included in my Vodafone plan.
piracy > streaming services
Great video, but someone tell this guy to replace "AKA" with i.e.
... and teach him what "literally" means. Better yet, tell him not to use the word. It's a fad that got old a few years ago.
if that happens i'll go back to the free "streaming services". I pay for netflix and recently got now tv as well which i will be cancelling after the free trial due to netflix just being a lot more user friendly (can watch it in browser). I see this happening to game services at the moment it used to be just steam now there's epic games, discord, steam, origin, etc.... I only have steam and i refuse to download any others i dont want my pc full of game services just like i don't want my browser full of streaming services.
Discord is a communications service not a game platform. it should be compared to skype instead of steam
Ardıç Biçer what the hell, I guess this is what I miss out on not getting nitro
@Ardıç Biçer while true, I'm not aware of anyone that actually uses it
To be fair Steam is also trash but it is better than the others
And people have dismissed Blu-rays, DVDs and digital copies because of streaming services that can consolidate their media like this. Think it's time people start looking into physical media again.
People won't.. Instant gratification is why
@Lonzell Winn I mean I have a DVD player too, but honestly, it's more for stuff I can't find on streaming
I already did the math
Internet + Cable was $170 (I don't know how you have that $99 that is super cheap)
Internet + Streaming is $80
Paid by the cable/internet service companies to make it sound like the cheaper source. It's some crazy reverse psychology they doing here. See cable ain't that bad it's actually cheaper than all those nifty streaming services.
@@WrensthavAviovus exactly plus cable raises their fees after like a month once your trial period ends
Internet is $79.99 for me, but they offered a $79.99 for internet plus cable bundle on a two year contract then spike the prices to around $180 after the premium trial.
Dude I've been fearing this for years! I was cool with Netflix and hulu, but then I started noticing hbo and Starz. Then I'm like oh look cable is finally catching on, pretty soon it's gonna be replaced by every brand having their own bs subscription service. Then CBS, and now Disney 🤦🏾♂️
"I was cool with Netflix and hulu, but then I started noticing hbo and Starz"
Ironic, since it was premium cable channels like HBO and Starz which made TV watching cool and paved the way for Netflix to move beyond DVDs.
All I watch is youtube. And other people's netflix when I'm with them. How much time is in a fuckin' day. I estimate less than 29 hours.
Right, makes me wonder what all these people do when they can watch all those live action shows, movies and play video games. Where do you people find the time?
Disney is probably going to buy all media companies to create a new all in one
streaming service.
Not necessarily. They might keep their Hulu and Disney-Streaming and ESPN. Let's say there's one Disney-Mega-Stream, for let's say hypothetically $20. Then the maximum amount of money they can get out of customers is that $20.
However, if they keep them separated, with a ~$12 price for each platform, they will make more money.
While some people will only be subscribed to one of those and pay 12$, enough people will be subscribed to two, meaning $12+$12 = $24. That's already more than the $20 "Mega-Stream". If someone is subscribed to all three because of FOMO (fear-of-missing-out) that's a whopping $36 Disney makes. If the vast majority of people are subscribed to two services, that'll more than offset those that are only on one, and ontop of that you got those subscribed to all three.
The alternative is that Disney is gonna make one "Mega-Streaming" platform for $20, but then section off parts of it: "Buy the ESPN-Bundle for $5! Join the StarWars bundle for $6! Subscribe to the Food Bundle for $4! Get the Dad+Mom Bundle which includes ESPN+Food for only $8! Get the Family Bundle which includes ESPN+StarWars+Food for only $11!"
I think this is the most likely scenario.
That's called a "monopoly" and illegal in the US.
@@chopinbloc just because it's illegal doesn't mean that companies don't try it. After all, it's not illegal if you get away with it.
@@gildedbear5355 you're not wrong.
Disney+ is the service for general-interest Disney-owned content. ESPN+ includes all of the sports channels, as well as exclusive sports programming. FX+ is the service for the edgiest Disney-owned content, and that one will likely be repositioned to compete in the category of HBO Now. And, Hulu will be the service for licensed content and for traditional cable channels, including those from third parties.
The Walt Disney Company has already said that various bundles and tiers will be offered in a way that will probably be like Hulu's packages with Spotify Premium.
Rent Netflix, watch all the stuff, cancel subscription.
Then do the same for Hulu, then Amazon etc etc
Or just get together with ya grog drinking shanty singers and hit the digital high sea.
Yah this video was kind of shallow. There are so many more advantages to streaming, not having to deal with a DVR for example.
Just get 4 friends that all sub to different platforms. Boom. Everyone wins
The nice thing about streaming is that you can easily cancel one service and get another. When you do that you'll get all the past shows the new service has. Then when you're caught up with the shows you like, you can go back to the one you previously cancelled.
Sure there's going to be some huge event shows you have to watch right away. So I had to subscribe to HBO to get Game of Thrones, but I also watched Doom Patrol and Westworld while I have the subscription. Those shows I wouldn't have subscribed for, but while I have the subscription I'll watch them. Once I've seen all the Shows HBO has to offer, I'll cancel it and maybe Subscribe for a few months a year and a half from now.
Theoretically you should be able to do something similar with cable, but they tend to want to lock you into packages for a year and bullshit like that.
And because streaming companies are separate entities, I can choose to not subscribe to sine of them if their terms aren't acceptable. It didn't work that way with cable companies. You buy their packages or you get nothing.
tosh40638 this is genuinely a great way to view this. i’m surprised this isn’t the top comment already..
I don't think "AKA" means what you think it means
Sooner than later companies will offer streaming value packs to remain competitive
And no one will care because torrents are still a thing.
The way to beat it is for the dumb media companies to agree to put their content on one platform to consolidate users. Make piracy less convenient and you win, make it more convenient and no, I'm not going to sign up for your 5 different services for $15 per month each.
The Walt Disney Company has already said that it intends to offer bundles and tiers of Disney+, ESPN+, FX+, Hulu, and Spotify.
In theory free streaming services such as Pluto, Tubi, IMDBTV and others are a hybridization of cable and broadcast in that you can select an uncensored and unedited movie or program paid for with advertising. An option to pay a fee for no advertising could be offered as well.

@@matthew8153 5 months late, but here's the explaination : i was going by the Bioshock Infinite version of the lyrics , not the original ones from Johnny Cash ,:D
evilpellu
Oh, ok. And it’s actually older than Johnny Cash, he just did his own version.
And this is where torrents pick back up. Netflix beat piracy because it's easy and _convenient_ - managing 10 different subscriptions you use for only one show each? Yeah, no. There's a reason Netflix did well in the era of piracy.
Yar har fiddle te dee.
This subscription model sounds anti competitive.
No more so than cable was. The real issue is the clusterfuck that is American copyright law, granting rights to content long after it should’ve gone public.
The best solution to share streaming services accounts XD I use my aunt’s Netflix lol
The only reason I still have a netflix account is because I share i with others (family members). And they share their hulu with me. Most of the time I don't use either. I know how to find and stream most things for free if I have to. So I have thought about cancelling my netflix many times over the last few years now to save money. Bu I keep it for the family members that use it.
How about this - I have not paid for a piece of entertainment or media for the last 10 years... As long as the net remains decentralized than and only than will our experiences be free. Torrents, streams, the internet has a much larger footprint than any of these streaming services could ever have.
The very worst part of all this is that the content on each streaming service depends on where in the world you live. So, if you want to actually access all the content you need to pay for VPN or go pirate.
A similar situation is also happening in the video game industry. Steam was a store platform that used to have a monopoly over PC video games, but the arrival of the Epic Games Store and its aggressive exclusivity deals have amassed ire among gamers. Video streaming subscribers may be used to platform exclusivities, but gamers are not and are vehemently opposed to it (and in extension, Epic Games' marketing practices)
Nonetheless, times are changing and it would seem that media in general is entering the Subscription Age.
I wouldn't say they had a monopoly, there is also gamejolt and ich.io
we aren't entering the *subscription age* ; but, re-entering the *torrent age*
Is limewire going to make a come back
Including the $60 for internet is borderline being reasonable. You would have internet anyway, you just have more reasons now to have internet. But the fact is that you use the internet for email, browsing, conversations, social media, streaming music, streaming video, playing online games, purchasing offline games, etc.
I think the internet tax is more there for comparison's sake. For most people, their ISP is also their cable provider, so they usually bundle cable at a relatively cheaper price to convince you to keep it. In reality, he is spending $40 on his cable subscription ($100 for the bundle minus the $60 he'd already spend on internet), which is about what 4 streaming services would cost, so the main point still stands.
Easy solution: Pick two that get you most of what you want, pirate the rest. Then go out and do things in real life if you run out of TV to watch.
If sports didn't exist no one in my extended family would have cable
Sports fans ?
Great
I own almost everything I enjoy watching and have my own streaming server so this isn’t a big deal. More expensive in the short term to buy what you want but over the long term much cheaper than multiple streaming services and constant tech upgrades to use those streaming services
PHYSICAL MEDIA NEVER DIES!!
Is this a commercial for cable. I got a antenna if I can't find anything to watch. I get up and do something better.
_🎵Do what you want 'cause a pirate is free, You are a pirate🎵_
If streaming turns into cable I will just use pirate sites.
The three favorite cable tv channels I used to watch, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon and Disney Channel, are all dead. They’ve been dead since 2013 because of Netflix. That along with Hulu and Amazon Prime have proved that cable TV is obsolete. Nowadays, the three channels Netflix killed have retaliated by making their own streaming channels, Disney+, Max and Paramount+, and are currently giving Netflix a taste of its own medicine. That’s what I call Karma. It’s the same old process of “Out with the old, in with the new.”
The monopoly that Disney is waging on the media community is worrying...Netflix is still the GOAT for me...I hope they survive this wave 🌊
What monopoly? Disney is just smarter than many of its competitors because, while they are involved in hardware, operating systems, cable providers, satellite providers, Internet providers, mobile-phone networks, social media, and the like, Disney has been squarely focused on intellectual property and on building a library of owned content that can kill Netflix, which has always threatened to do to the movie business what Spotify has done to the music industry.
The tech conglomerates, Apple, Google, and Amazon, as well as the vertically-integrated AT&T (Time Warner) and Comcast (NBC Universal), are the anti-competitive monopolists.
yall pirates in the future invest in VPN
streaming companies gonna really wanna push into us
not really its like what happen to the music industry its too many people pirating my 80 year old grandma pirates streams off of a roku box it would cost them more money than its worth
