This video totally missed what is killing Disney and all the other content creators: horrible shows! We hate the SJW/ANTIFA/BLM movies and shows. They are horrible. Worse, these shows are very racist especially towards white males! This is causing all systems to crash and burn due to attacking the customer base. This is destroying gigantic corporations like Budweiser Beer, for example. We are boycotting these businesses and Disney hates normal men with a hot passion so...normal men no longer want any Disney anywhere near themselves.
Hm... nice video. But it fails to actually say, specifically, why Disney+ won't exist anymore in 2 years (as the video title claims). Unless I missed something...
I feel like Disney+ COULD'VE been a good idea, had it not artificially bulked up their catalogue. I remembered back in the day when Disney+ was in talks that one of their "selling points" was that their entire library of content, shows, classic cartoons and such, would no longer be "in the vault" as they put it. As someone who enjoys more vintage and obscure content from Disney I saw that as intriguing. Fast forward to now and the service still doesn't have their entire batch of silly symphonies, or classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. It's not like they don't have them digitized, because there used to be a dvd collection called "Walt Disney treasures" that did ended up collecting all the silly symphony cartoons. I don't want to watch "remade classics" of old Disney properties, I want to see the ACTUAL classics. Properly preserved and available for anyone to watch. Sorry for ranting, this just has been on my mind for a while...
Stuff like this is why other streaming services like Crunchyroll, Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock and Amazon Prime have been doing well. Because they’ve cheapened the price to either 9.99 or 4.99 per buck.
Can you see the classic on a legal way anywhere? If not this is another reason for a law that enforces "owners" of classical IPs to either provide their content on their platform or license it!
Same as announcing franchises to join the ranks in streaming, for them to not release it in my country. I subscribed for a certain show,, still not available… liars, at Disney
Agreed! We just cancelled our Disney+ subscription because we found all of our old VHSs and machine that work like a charm. My only reason for joining the streaming service was to watch obscure vault content. Instead it got overstuffed with cheap shows of IPs I don’t particularly care about. It’s a shame what they’ve done to their reputation and legacy with streaming.
Disney + is the reason nobody goes to the theatre to see Disney movies as much. Disney has trained their audience to know that if they skip the theatre and wait a few weeks, the movie will be there for free. They killed their own theatrical.
@@anastasiassecret3837 Avatar is a little different because the theatrical experience is much more enhanced than the streamer version. It's more of an event than a movie. Guardians of the Galaxy did buck the trend though, and made very solid box office
Disney has many problems, but, even though it doesn't have streaming, I've noticed a similar trend appearing with Dreamworks movies, with Puss in Boots the Last Wish and Super Mario Brothers coming out on DVD just about as soon as their theatrical runs ended. If they're not careful, that could end up having the same effect and causing people to just wait till it comes out on DVD, and hurt their theatrical budgets.
Disney+ is probably just a stupid idea. Without it, Disney could license out their movies and shows to multiple streaming services like HBO, Netflix, cable TV etc., and reach a much wider audience and make more money. But when they put their shows on their own streaming services, it not only limits the audience much more, but also leads some people to not go watch the movie in a theatre anymore, because they know that it will release on Disney+ later anyway. Maybe, just maybe, for a big content company like Disney, an exclusive streaming platform is just a fundamentally bad idea.
Yeah my best friend is a theater junkie and goes to see movies once a week and she still won’t see anything marvel or Disney because she knows they’ll be on Disney + eventually. Instead, she’ll go watch movies that she knows will be hard, if not impossible to see on a streaming platform.
If the Disney Channel could never be a network, Disney+ could never be a streaming giant. It didn't help that they got Woke. (And subsequently Went Broke.)
@@robertewalt7789 Yes, consumers were never going to be able to support more than a couple of streamers, and a jumped-up (and Woke) Disney Channel was never going to be one of them.
Basically how things were with Netflix during the 2010s. Licensed content of big corps on one or few services was nice. Before they pulled out everything.
It's the Netflix problem described by Captain Midnight - It would be better for Netflix to do fewer shows and actually have complete series. Or else create more episodic series where Episodes stand alone. As it is, they're filling their back catalogue with incomplete series that nobody wants to watch. Who wants to watch something that doesn't get finished. I have fanfiction for that!
@@-Teague- Nah, these writers would still be terrible if they made millions a year. Film industry proves that out. Even so, it doesn't matter. Audiences no longer watch series (or movies) to be wowed by writing talent which is why a piece of mediocre junk like The Bear was the most acclaimed show last year. It's also why only the most terminally-online Redditors like you care about the WGA strike; even then it's not because you want to enjoy good writing. You just need to virtue signal as badly as you need to breathe. Normal people are too busy living their lives and dealing with actual problems to care about creatives or what they're being paid to do their fake jobs.
The biggest example is the mandalorian season 1 vs season 3 The first season was THE reason to get Disney plus to watch this high budget, well crafted story in the star wars universe in which every episode looked like a movie. Season 3 had much lower ratings, you could tell the budget was lower and production value had fallen overall. With episodes that had camera angles and lighting similar to a snl sketch.
I honestly miss when it was just Netflix and amazon. Simple and affordable and had almost all the shows and movies in one place. Its a mess now with all the new straming services.
I miss when RUclips had no ads, and you could find anything on here as long as you were cool with watching it in 13min intervals and had decent internet.
@@lindsaywilhelm8217 RUclips has always had ads.. It launched in 2005, but it started ads on videos since 2006. It always had banner ads. They couldn't possibly pay for server costs if they never had ads. I think you're mistaking ads with when content creators were able to start monetizing videos and make money off them. That's when ads started appearing more aggressively, similar to Cable TV. That said, RUclips Premium is relatively worth it. Alternatively, RUclips isn't aggressive against adblock browser extensions. So, if you install any basic adblock, it'll block the ads on RUclips.
So Disney+ is struggling despite having these amazing big franchises like Star Wars and Marvel... well, it's doing everything it can to drive those into the ground.
Sadly it's not only Disney. Warner is driving DC into the ground too. Both studios need to jump off the woke bandwagon and give us well written entertainment. The fans deserve better.
@@elcarajo66actually DC has been pretty good lately....Harley Quinn; Superman and Lois; Peacemaker; Zack Snyder's Justice League; The Batman; Joker etc were all fantastic....Now compare that to the the likes of Antman 3; Thor 4 and She-Hulk?😂
@@elcarajo66lmao are yall almost done with "woke?" It's become a meaningless term because of dbags like you using it for everything you don't like. Disney stuff sucks but because it's studio-driven, not whatever you think "woke" means
@JamieGAdaire agreed....Marvel has been living off of Infinity Saga hype for years....Since Endgame, DC has been consistently producing better entertainment over the last few years yet everybody is still so addicted to Disney/Marvel....For example, compare Harley Quinn to She-Hulk....Or Ant-Man 3 to Black Adam....Or The Batman with Thor 4 etc etc....
I cancelled Disney+ last week when they raised their price. None of the individual streaming services are worth more than $10 per month. I'd gladly pay $50 per month for old Netflix where everything was in one place with a decent UX. I'm not going to pay $20 per month for multiple services. The only reason I still have Prime and Netflix is because they're both free with other products I need. I've started going back to buying Blu-Rays and building my own library of physical copies. Streaming is simply renting content that can and will disappear at the corporate whims. Add in that companies are editing their films to be more modern means DVD/Blu-Ray is the only way to ensure you keep films/TV as they were originally envisioned. The streaming wars are over, and consumers are the ones losing the most. I work in film and television. I'm a huge movie buff. I hate the modern streaming business models. I miss old school Netflix.
I'm so done with everything associated with Disney. Their endless poor-quality cash-grabs and mismanagement of once-respected franchises, as well as an overall lack of audience-pleasing entertainment, has locked my wallet for anything they will produce. They had a good run, but they lost their way.
For those that remember Cable TV did the exact same thing. It started off as being an ad free service. Then they split off various channels to premium levels, added the ads back and so on. Streaming never worked tbh, but it worked best when it was a distributor, not a producer of content with old Netflix. Being able to find every thing on one service worked, having to shop around removes the convenience and savings to the point you might as well not pay for a streaming service. You either go back to cable, go without or just find free content online to enjoy like youtube.
Tencent wetv, iqiyi and youku wants to talk to you 😅 I subscribe to that 3 streaming platform. I'm happy to pay because they don't have woke and identity politics Bullshit. You know what even crazy, people can actually watch their content for free. The vip member get to watch more episode release earlier than public. And after the show its done it will be lock for vip only. It means they release show that the viewer wants and appreciateciated it to the point they buy vip to watch extra episode. Look at Netflix. N disney. keep putting up woke bullshit. I'm at the point watching Netflix for other shows that Netflix rent to put up on their library not their original content. Not because saturated but because the quality that they put out is just pure trash.
I realized long ago that I don't need all of these shows in my life. I just don't care about any of it. I just sit back and enjoy the various dumpster fires at nighttime. The distant glowing fires are soothing as the big companies lie to everyone and battle it out!😂.
For those of us who remember back when cable tv first became a thing it was offered on the idea that you would pay for channels and get rid of ads for that monthly fee. Over time the ads began to creep back in, first it was just a block of ads between episodes or movies, then it eventually became during the show or movie until it was indistinguishable from regular TV broadcasts. To think that online streaming wouldn't follow the same path already pioneered and proven that it works by the cable companies is just a disconnect of people who don't remember history.
The worst were the arguments where you'd complain about the ads and the other guy would say you're complaining about free TV. Strange, I don't remember "free" TV costing so much. Somehow the cable industry convinced a lot of us that we just paid for a hookup and that the content itself was separate.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 I think you're thinking of Broadcast. i.e. the Channels you could get with your 'bunny ears'. Of course, part of it was that Broadcast can only support so many channels due to the finite nature of the EM spectrum. Cable allowed more 'freemium' channels to be packaged as a standard part of the basic cable plan. The problem was that most of those channels kinda sucked. A common issue was a thing called 'network decay' where over time Channels dedicated to certain genres would slowly degrade into a sort of 'generic male interest' or 'generic female interest' channel. A good example is the History Channel starting with history and then gradually devolving into Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, and Pawn Stars . . .
@@BustermachineHistory Channel…such a missed opportunity for the teaching community. Imagine if it was programming that actually synchronized with the curricula of elementary and middle school. That, instead of being supported by advertising, was supported by a national education fund. Like PBS, but not today’s PBS. The PBS of 50 years ago.
CNN, MTV and ESPN had commercials from day 1, which I never accepted as I simply refuse to sit through commercials on something I’m paying for. Nickelodeon was commercial-free its first year or so.
I hate how ads have taken over every form of media, to the point where companies can't even really make a profit without them. Its just a stain that will never go away.
How come no one on Disney had this thought? It should be so simple to make an attractive streaming service when you have such a deep archive of beloved shows and movies like they do.
People loved streaming services and youtube because they were free of intrusive advertising. You can just enjoy the content and move on. And now, we are right back to the TV cable model with the same fragmented channels.
All Disney had to do was to open the vault and put up content that made them successful in the first place like all The Wonderful World of Disney movies/specials with Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse Club, etc….Hell, they could’ve even released Song of the South with a disclaimer. Instead they spent tons of money on new lame ass movies and shows that no asked for or wanted.
Thank you for bringing us the facts on the table. I am an independent film maker since 2000 and I've seen the birth of DVD to Streaming and I still believe people wants to own their movies. Some digital and some to put on the shelves. I get so frustrated when a movie I've downloaded on a streaming site to finally watch is erased by the service without telling me. I hate when you only can watch season 1-4, 6-,9,12 and not a complete series. Therefore I am trying to buy what I like and what's available.
Best part about Disney+ Basic? The OG Disney Channel on cable was completely ad free, and included in almost all non-basic cable packages (local channels only type packages)
Believe it or not, there was a time when you actually had to pay extra JUST to get the Disney Channel. I remember being a kid and being excited whenever Disney did their "generous" free month where all cable networks would get to watch the channel without paying for a short time, mostly interrupted with ads telling you to give them money if you actually want to watch the channel for real.
One thing you forgot to mention is that Disney+ is also removing their own original shows because of residual fees. There could be a world where Netflix removes its beloved originals from their platform to cut costs too.
Blaming the streaming industry for Disney’s problems is the biggest cop out I have ever heard. Plain and simple, they put out a crap product and the public isn’t buying.
Good thing I live in Australia were hulu and Disney+ are combined and no ads and all the spiderman movies except for across the spider verse and no way home
The problem is when they built their business strategy around Disney+, when they changed story telling and production to compromise for the streaming service, like cutting a movie in tv series, or interrupting narrative of a franchise with mini projects, or release high budget movies directly on Disney+ instead of in cinema
These big companies are forgetting the world has far less money than they used to due to rising cost of living etc. I had to cancel many of my subscriptions just so I could afford food.
Especially with the writer’s strike going on right now, it’s going to halt even more projects. Apple TV+ recently cancelled their metropolitan tv series as well.
The writer's strike has been on going since television media created red-tape policies from its inception. This isn't the first or last time the creative teams, costume teams, filmmaker teams or others will go on strike. The problem with Disney and its subsidiaries is/are they hire way too many people, give them ideas, them the creative team comes up with an excellent idea. Then the stupid censorship law comes in and edits everything out, taking away the essence and soul of the project. It leaves the creatives without much control and then they feel cheated out of the job and then add in low pay, few perks, some are part time or via-contract (per X amount of months) and they feel like they aren't given enough money or creative power to make something unique for the mass public. This applies almost to every other filming industry, but I haven't done research on the others yet.
The whole company is in free-fall, I think they’re beginning to wake up to the fact that there is no money in streaming. The worst part is that they’ve bet the farm in streaming at the expense of severing physical media sales like blu-Ray and dvd and also lack of merchandise.
The only way streaming will survive is by merging. If you want to have everything right now, you'll end up paying what you wanted to stop paying with cable. That's what I like about Prime, I can pick and choose other streamers from the same platform, but it still costs too much, so I just drop one and move to another depending on what they have that month, but from the same platform and easier
I think one of the biggest reasons for the downfall of streaming services is that so many people just pirate stuff now because they don't want to have to subscribe to 7, different services annually to watch 7 shows they like when they could very easily pirate all seven for free.
I still subscribe to Netflix cause I like a lot of their shows and the app works great everywhere. Also, it's not their fault everybody and their mother decided to launch their own streaming service. Also also, the fact that streaming is the only service they provide is a nice for me personally as I don't like feeding the monsters that are Amazon, Apple and Disney.
yeah, often piracy sites don't randomly take down content because of licensing issues (because they don't give a shit about licensing lmao), don't have excessive in-video ads and you can just download whatever you want and actually keep it. not to mention the whole thing with not having to subscribe to 7 different services. piracy just seems like a way better deal than having to pay possibly hundreds for premium streaming per month. the only thing you'd probably need to pay for is a VPN and you're all good (totally not advocating for piracy wink wink).
I really hate how they've been trying to become a monopoly on entertainment. I mean, they already had Pixar, then they got Marvel and it became absurdly successful. Was that enough? No, they bought Lucasfilm and milked the shit out of Star Wars. Of course it worked, so what did they do with their truckloads of money? They just fucking bought 21st Century Fox. It's ridiculous, who can even compete against that?
As son as any service introduces mandatory ads of any kind I am gone! I’ll start downloading again. Currently I am paying for prime, disney+, netflix, hbo max and some smaller and local channels. Their only appeal is the lack of ads!
I think in terms of Disney, piracy is just gonna come out on top or if people choose to not pirate then adblockers that specifically block ads on Disney will start popping up in mass. It's gonna be a losing situation for them either way and their current tactics are just driving away whatever loyal audiences they have left.
It's because when you could sell the license to Netflix, Hulu and HBO plus run it on a cable channel laiden with ad revenue and sell box sets to hardcore fans you could easily make that back. When you cut off 3/4ths of your potential audience, forced out the cable channel to have enough viewers for that ad revenue by forcing people onto your service, and stop selling box sets because "that hurts the streaming service" you suddenly end up with not even breaking even. It's not really about spending too much, it's the vertical integration of the streaming service the shows have to hold up causing the shows to lose their budget over time and become parodies of their first seasons. Suddenly the proft you'd get from streaming on a single streaming service is eating your budget whole.
As a physical media junkie, I’m curious to see where it all leads. The original streamer was Napster…it was theft. Robin Hood in concept, but it singlehandedly devalued art, destroyed many businesses, and created “customers” who expect everything for nothing. Disposable society. Netflix did things right, but again gave away everything for little $. When competition started stealing their shows and movies, customers are suddenly getting *less* for same $ and were upset. A lot of loyalty lost. Fact is, streaming isn’t built around true loyalty and is now suffering from its own vulture-based culture. Full credit to the people trying to make it work for the customers, I cant imagine! But per this video, if its quantity vs quality and decisions to make cuts that affect the customers are made to appease stockholders…the best they can hope for is that their fanbase is lazy and uninvested enough that they wont care about being shortchanged everytime material is cut from their service and they’ll keep shelling out $ every month anyways. With Netflix and Disney in mind, I think people are getting wise. Has a sinking ship vibe for sure. Streaming for $10/mo might trump buying a bluray for $30, but at least you know where your $ is going and you know where the bluray is a month from now lol.
Well stated. The viability of Hollywood depends on people paying for it's product, whether it's 4k Blu or Blu or DVD or vod, but dollars must be paid in some way. Streaming as a buffet does not support the industry model and has to give; I've said before and I'll say again one quick fix is for studio streamers to jointly limit ALL movies from the streaming services and instead only use them to show and promote tv style shows. This way people must continuing going to the theater for movies, where the money is made, while being content with only using streamers for TV shows and never expecting to see Oppenheimer or Barbie there for no extra cost. To me this would greatly restore the prestige and spectacle of film in whatever genre while readjusting expectations with what to expect from streaming. The business model hollywood needs would stay intact while allowing streaming to be another but small of arm of tv script distribution
@@ravf458 Agreed. Im no accountant or businessman, just thinking out loud. But if major entertainment businesses are losing huge amounts of money, Id have to think that either the quality is lacking therefore they’re losing people…OR their expenses are higher than profit due to business models. Or, at this time…probably both.
@@flexparachute Loyalty as a status whereby 2 parties treat each other well and benefit as such, is an ideal in life. Also a rarity. Corporate greed and the results of it however are not. Mom-and-pop shops and smaller businesses that treat their customers well, Im 100% loyal. The larger companies? My distrust is deserved, put it that way lol.
The problem with streaming for me is how indecisive I’ve become now there’s 1,000,000 streaming services to choose from and even more watch that I’m not as interested in as before
Once bearded princess made the news we canceled everything Disney. Their content is no longer what Walt Disney imagined. Re-imagine a world without customers.
This is very much a USA take, in most European markets, Hulu (named Star here), is included as a seperate hub. Which means we get all that content plus the newest Fox releases. For people who grew up watching Disney Channel, it's a goldmine of content as well with all those movies and shows. Just depends on what you want out of Disney+. For me, it's the service I use most. Especially for adult animation like Bob's Burgers, Futurama, etc. If you're only subscribed for Marvel and Star Wars, yeh, you're setting yourselves up for dissapointment.
Blu ray markets need to be championed again as the primary way to see/own movies and tv in optimal presentation. It's far more profitable. Second, ALL studio streamers except Netflix need to limit movies altogether from the services; streamers should only play tv style shows. This distinguishes pretigious film from TV and the industry model that keeps Hollywood going can STAY INTACT. People will attend the theaters knowing that's the only place they can see the movies, while never expecting to see those on streaming unless through VOD or Blu ray, which is paid for formats
very true. the latest show became lame and not inspiring what Disney originally is. It not wrong watch new show the problem is whom is this for cuz there a show that nothing but mediocrity than old day that attracts lot people watch Disney by quality story that disney still exist.
With a cost of living crisis and people being unable to feed themselves or heat their home, the ripple effect of that is huge. It’s less of a Disney issue and more of just an outcome of a bigger problem. Sure it doesn’t help that the words ‘star wars’ is associated with ‘garbage’ thanks to them but ultimately, doesn’t matter what Disney do they won’t get peoples money while this crisis is underway.
Ive seen this "growth first" mindset and its consequences a lot in tech industry. Things are great at first, with service constantly improving. But once new users aren't coming in, thr company starts squeezing out those they have. Notice how Netflix ignored accound sharing for years, but decided to crack it down the moment they reported their first ever decrease is subscribers count. It feels like building a sustainable business model isn't a goal anymore.
This is pretty much exactly what I expected when they announced Disney+. I knew it was a bad idea from the start. They were just going to cannibalize each other until most of them fail anyway. And it has started.
Very interesting. I think one thing not mentioned is that when all the companies with IPs wanted a piece of the the Netflix pie everything changed. In the U.K. sky still own the majority of sports. So if you want to have all the sports and IPs it’s actually a lot more expensive now then it was when everything was on cable/sky. Also what changed for cable companies was with recording facilities people just record stuff and skip the advertising (was it TIVo who actually tried to stop that?). This fragmentation, cost of living and the fact it actually costs more by a good £40-50 then it used to for the same amount of content due to all the new streaming services has meant people have had enough and just cancel and swap between them.
I just wish it is like in earlier days. One (maybe two) Streaming Service(s) where you can find any show. I can't prove it, but I imagine that since the big studios started their own streaming services, Piracy grew again...
When Disney+ first came out it was pretty cool. I was only mildly interested in the new content coming. I was looking forward to all the shows I watched growing up being easily watchable in one spot and being able to watch the shows that I wasn't able to when they we're airing. It's been a major disappointment that all the shows Disney put out are still not on the streaming service and there are missing seasons or episodes.
The big problem for Disney+ is you can not let your kid watch Disney+ without having to worry about what they are watching. They have so much sick programming at this point it is scary.
There is nothing on Disney+ (apart from +16 or +18 shows, which can be blocked in a kid's account) that a kid can't watch. Seriously, is a tiny little kiss, that is literally 2 seconds long inside an almost 2 hour movie, something "sick"? Maybe it's people who see this as "sick" the one's who are actually sick...
Apparently the CFO left last week due to personal reasons, but apparently she clashed quite a lot with ideals from CEO Bob Iger. That’s not a good sign at all.
Netflix really started out as a movie delivery service, back when DVDs were still a thing and pretty much toppled Blockbuster off the map. Then it evolved into streaming and pioneered the industry until it started looking at competition. Now in the streaming service wars were already saw the loss of CNN+ and soon to be Disney+ (which like most ppl. confuses me as to why thay even created their own streaming service.) The model of licensing worked! If it ain't broke...
I hope this is a step towards going back to physical media again. They wont take that away from you and you wont have to worry they have tampered with it in some way (cencorship). I have a pretty large collection of films that wont be tossed away anytime soon. Also most streaming services don't have the old school classics (refering to any film that was released prior to the mid / early 90's).
The real issue is Disney no longer knows it’s customer. I’m not sure who they’re making contact for but it’s not the average person. Also how do you have a Star Wars world and not base it on the original trilogy?! It’s IP mismanagement of the highest order.
This is an incredibly well made video, amazing editing and really engaging visuals, which is unusual from this type of more commentary-based video. Great job
Now this is a very interesting video overall. I subscribed to roger on what’s on Disney plus who is very positive about all these changes. It really seems like Disney is doing both from cutting costs and creating more projects from Star Wars and marvel as a result. Definitely a big game of catch-22.
It seems like in the end we are headed right back into cable. We got streaming services to get rid of all the commercials. And another thing that bothers me is the amount of time a movie stays on a service. I remember if there was a movie you wanted to watch you could just put it in your watchlist and when you had time you could watch it. Now days there is no reason to add anything bc it will be gone in a month. I understand everything is under license but it still sucks that we have to watch everything in a week.
Wow. The production of this clip is INSANE. Amazing work, thank you. Subscribed and hit the bell. Highly professional storytelling, enjoyed watching it.
Actual wokeness isn't the cheap pandering BS Disney is doing. Like, learn the difference before you come across as a cranky white dude who just wants to be mad. Disney stuff sucks, but not because of whatever you think "woke" means
That is for sure, and more over if not families hating on some group of people be it straight, white, men or what have you making sweeping generalizations about Them, people never seem to get it, you cannot fight hate with more hate nor can you fight anything stemming from it with more of the same like any ism, it is simply a lie, if one does They are no better then the one that committed the damnable act in the fist place, woke-ism seams more about hate and victim hood and self defeatist mentality than anything that brings people together or uplifts Them' to "do better" malice will not heal this world two wrongs do not make a right, nothing They' make has any heart anymore it is just meant to appease ESG, and if people make it known that They' are opposed to this stagnant content, the media always uses the same old dull and broken buckler of a defense " you are all just a bunch of bigots" and you hate this movie because you hate (blank), as there cannot be any other reason, when you focus on one aspect everything else suffers, in this case the writing, characterization, character development and story, all the things that should matter far more as you can let the themes of what you want to tell happen organically, rather than seem forced and tactless.
Once the growth stops because it's not sustainable, it becomes unrealistic to offer new content or pay your staff. I mean, there's a reason why the Writer's Guild is on strike and why people are unsubscribing.
Honestly, the only reason why we bought Disney+ was to watch the new Goosebumps series, after that this app can become a distant memory for all I care. Hopefully, this show will slap hard and not flop like their other movies. I mean, Sony Pictures and Scholastic Entertainment are in charge this time around so, let’s hope they do justice to this reboot. Ps: Disney better stay far away from the Sony show writers! The only thing they need to worry about is their own marketing ad planning and that teaser trailer imo.
Netflix killed BlockBuster in the home rental arena but it's still around as RedBox is killing NetFlix. So NetFlix is actually the most in trouble as it doesn't have something else to fall back on. The future of streaming is Apple, Google, and Amazon companies that don't need the streaming side to keep going.
I honestly hope not, there are a bunch of series i still regularly watch on Disney Plus. However, streaming in general is iffy to me rn. Like, we have what, Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, Paramount +, Prime, HBO Max (though that one is unavailable to a lot of people), etc. That's too much. You cant reasonably have all of them and FOMO is kinda forcing people to.
bell comment, 0:205:00 D+ expectations, get additional profits 6:40 back to adving 1:40 "unprofitable cable" -- Long game 2:15 growth over profitability
You seem to be forgetting that outside of the United States, Disney Plus carries Fox and Hulu content under its Star label since Hulu is a USA only streaming service. However I think there will be an instance of streamers merging and/ or signing new distribution deals with Netflix since we have reached over saturation.
After Disney+ cancelled 6 episode series about Atatürk (founder of the modern Turkish Republic) many possible subscription along with already existing subscriptions started to fly away from Disney+. Possibly because of Armenian Diaspora lobbies pressuring Disney for a genocide which is unknown if it existed or not.
When Netflix had content from many different sources, like in the beginning, it was a success. However, when the majority of those sources, decided to remove their material and jump on the streaming bandwagon, the proverbial applecart was upset. All in 1 shopping is great. Having to go to several places for separate things, is less desirable.
PLEASE don’t make it seem like people don’t like Disney anymore just because they put out a lot of content on their streaming service in a short amount of time. People DO still love their works! Also, the Little Mermaid remake is a poor example of what you’re trying to say because it was a theatrical release and it was actually really good.
Major cable networks and TV broadcasting companies saying, "It's the commercial, stupid.". Once they believed as constant reliable subscription revenue turns out to be much unstable than advertisement contract. (Well it was obvious while TV commerical force audience to watch your ad and doesn't require them to be appreciable for major audience rather than your ad sponser, in streaming, every single element of content is matter of your audience's continuance subscriptions.

Living in Australia. & Disney + making the decision to stop producing Physical media DVD, Blu-ray, 4k in my country is such a stupid & bad idea. All Disney Films & anything under the 20th Centuary FOX catalogue can no longer be sought after. It's a company that is destroying itself and its reputation.
Streaming services should do the following: 1. Stop pouring money into making hundreds of new costly, but underwhelming shows 2. Pay licenses for proper movies and shows that stood the test of time. If i want to watch smth online, i google the movie title+ watch online, and pronto! I can see any movie from the 30s, 40s, 50s... 2020s i like. I want to do the SAME thing on a streaming platform. 3. Drastically reduce their fees and introduce ads. I know they are annoying, but they pay the bill. They could work round them: with only two 10 minute breaks inside a movie, or ads at the beginning, middle and end, or when you turn the tv on, or when you choose a movie, etc. They could get creative with ads, like games do :" watch ads to gain extra points" They could limit your watch time to 1 movie/day unless you watch some ads, the more ads, the more points and watch hours you get, etc. 3 they could ask you to hire movies : "Wanna watch this, pay a fraction of the movie license every time you do. But most of all, they should STOP making movies just for propaganda sake.
I'd assume the situation is comparable to the format war in gaming, Playstation vs. Xbox vs. PC: What ultimately sells platforms, is exclusive content.
The thing with Warner brothers is some of their films like ‘Dune’ or so other are most like to be ‘Theatre’ films so somewhoe they win, compared to disney+ they just through you films you can watch later on in house with your family! Warner bros are losing at ‘DCEU’ because they announced they gonna refresh the whole DCEU
I remember when the trio was just $15. No ads either. Now I’m paying the duo with ads for $10. Streaming is dying in this world. Good thing I still own dvds and Blu rays
The hero wars ad that interrupted this video was such a perfect metaphor for the streaming service story that I thought it was part of the video for about twenty seconds.
Thanks for watching, please let me know what company you think I should cover next! 🙏
Maybe Amazon? Also, you content is very high quality, keep it going!
Do a video on why the Nintendo Wii U failed miserably. Also, I see you becoming a big youtuber!
This video totally missed what is killing Disney and all the other content creators: horrible shows! We hate the SJW/ANTIFA/BLM movies and shows. They are horrible. Worse, these shows are very racist especially towards white males! This is causing all systems to crash and burn due to attacking the customer base. This is destroying gigantic corporations like Budweiser Beer, for example. We are boycotting these businesses and Disney hates normal men with a hot passion so...normal men no longer want any Disney anywhere near themselves.
Hm... nice video. But it fails to actually say, specifically, why Disney+ won't exist anymore in 2 years (as the video title claims). Unless I missed something...
@@bellissimo4520 Thanks for the feedback! We will definitely strive to come up with clearer conclusions in the future.
I feel like Disney+ COULD'VE been a good idea, had it not artificially bulked up their catalogue. I remembered back in the day when Disney+ was in talks that one of their "selling points" was that their entire library of content, shows, classic cartoons and such, would no longer be "in the vault" as they put it. As someone who enjoys more vintage and obscure content from Disney I saw that as intriguing. Fast forward to now and the service still doesn't have their entire batch of silly symphonies, or classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. It's not like they don't have them digitized, because there used to be a dvd collection called "Walt Disney treasures" that did ended up collecting all the silly symphony cartoons. I don't want to watch "remade classics" of old Disney properties, I want to see the ACTUAL classics. Properly preserved and available for anyone to watch. Sorry for ranting, this just has been on my mind for a while...
And it'd cost less. Part of Disneys problem is the price hike. It has to go up to support all the new shows they're making.
Stuff like this is why other streaming services like Crunchyroll, Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock and Amazon Prime have been doing well. Because they’ve cheapened the price to either 9.99 or 4.99 per buck.
Can you see the classic on a legal way anywhere?
If not this is another reason for a law that enforces "owners" of classical IPs to either provide their content on their platform or license it!
Same as announcing franchises to join the ranks in streaming, for them to not release it in my country. I subscribed for a certain show,, still not available… liars, at Disney
Agreed! We just cancelled our Disney+ subscription because we found all of our old VHSs and machine that work like a charm. My only reason for joining the streaming service was to watch obscure vault content. Instead it got overstuffed with cheap shows of IPs I don’t particularly care about. It’s a shame what they’ve done to their reputation and legacy with streaming.
Disney + is the reason nobody goes to the theatre to see Disney movies as much. Disney has trained their audience to know that if they skip the theatre and wait a few weeks, the movie will be there for free. They killed their own theatrical.
Yet they still top the box office year after year.
@@TeganCantEvenelemental and Indiana Jones both flopped
@@anastasiassecret3837 Avatar is a little different because the theatrical experience is much more enhanced than the streamer version. It's more of an event than a movie. Guardians of the Galaxy did buck the trend though, and made very solid box office
Disney has many problems, but, even though it doesn't have streaming, I've noticed a similar trend appearing with Dreamworks movies, with Puss in Boots the Last Wish and Super Mario Brothers coming out on DVD just about as soon as their theatrical runs ended. If they're not careful, that could end up having the same effect and causing people to just wait till it comes out on DVD, and hurt their theatrical budgets.
@@anastasiassecret3837if there are 100 of their movies released this year of course some of them will win
Disney+ is probably just a stupid idea. Without it, Disney could license out their movies and shows to multiple streaming services like HBO, Netflix, cable TV etc., and reach a much wider audience and make more money. But when they put their shows on their own streaming services, it not only limits the audience much more, but also leads some people to not go watch the movie in a theatre anymore, because they know that it will release on Disney+ later anyway. Maybe, just maybe, for a big content company like Disney, an exclusive streaming platform is just a fundamentally bad idea.
Maybe this is the way the market will move. Only 2, 3, or 4 streamers, licensing content from 12+ studios.
Yeah my best friend is a theater junkie and goes to see movies once a week and she still won’t see anything marvel or Disney because she knows they’ll be on Disney + eventually. Instead, she’ll go watch movies that she knows will be hard, if not impossible to see on a streaming platform.
If the Disney Channel could never be a network, Disney+ could never be a streaming giant.
It didn't help that they got Woke. (And subsequently Went Broke.)
@@robertewalt7789 Yes, consumers were never going to be able to support more than a couple of streamers, and a jumped-up (and Woke) Disney Channel was never going to be one of them.
Basically how things were with Netflix during the 2010s.
Licensed content of big corps on one or few services was nice. Before they pulled out everything.
i love how the industry is spending so much effort on licensing and capturing audiences yet they are ignoring the most obvious solution: GOOD CONTENT
It's the Netflix problem described by Captain Midnight - It would be better for Netflix to do fewer shows and actually have complete series. Or else create more episodic series where Episodes stand alone. As it is, they're filling their back catalogue with incomplete series that nobody wants to watch. Who wants to watch something that doesn't get finished. I have fanfiction for that!
That would involve properly paying their writers. And we know they won’t
@@trippyjun The writers would also need to have talent. That seems to be in short supply lately.
@@trollerifficor maybe the writers don't have time resources and available opportunity to actually make good content because of said companies
@@-Teague-
Nah, these writers would still be terrible if they made millions a year. Film industry proves that out.
Even so, it doesn't matter. Audiences no longer watch series (or movies) to be wowed by writing talent which is why a piece of mediocre junk like The Bear was the most acclaimed show last year. It's also why only the most terminally-online Redditors like you care about the WGA strike; even then it's not because you want to enjoy good writing. You just need to virtue signal as badly as you need to breathe.
Normal people are too busy living their lives and dealing with actual problems to care about creatives or what they're being paid to do their fake jobs.
The biggest example is the mandalorian season 1 vs season 3
The first season was THE reason to get Disney plus to watch this high budget, well crafted story in the star wars universe in which every episode looked like a movie.
Season 3 had much lower ratings, you could tell the budget was lower and production value had fallen overall. With episodes that had camera angles and lighting similar to a snl sketch.
The writing especially, fell off a cliff.
@@TheRogueJedii It felt like a first draft, like with book of boba and obiwan

@@lindsaywilhelm8217I couldnt agree more
@@lindsaywilhelm8217 RUclips has always had ads.. It launched in 2005, but it started ads on videos since 2006. It always had banner ads. They couldn't possibly pay for server costs if they never had ads. I think you're mistaking ads with when content creators were able to start monetizing videos and make money off them. That's when ads started appearing more aggressively, similar to Cable TV. That said, RUclips Premium is relatively worth it. Alternatively, RUclips isn't aggressive against adblock browser extensions. So, if you install any basic adblock, it'll block the ads on RUclips.

So Disney+ is struggling despite having these amazing big franchises like Star Wars and Marvel... well, it's doing everything it can to drive those into the ground.
Sadly it's not only Disney. Warner is driving DC into the ground too. Both studios need to jump off the woke bandwagon and give us well written entertainment. The fans deserve better.
@@elcarajo66actually DC has been pretty good lately....Harley Quinn; Superman and Lois; Peacemaker; Zack Snyder's Justice League; The Batman; Joker etc were all fantastic....Now compare that to the the likes of Antman 3; Thor 4 and She-Hulk?😂

@@JRoseBooks It's nice to watch a 30-minute show in 22 minutes. =)
I hope this actually happens, if only to force them to bring back physical media in Australia.
I cancelled Disney+ last week when they raised their price. None of the individual streaming services are worth more than $10 per month. I'd gladly pay $50 per month for old Netflix where everything was in one place with a decent UX. I'm not going to pay $20 per month for multiple services. The only reason I still have Prime and Netflix is because they're both free with other products I need. I've started going back to buying Blu-Rays and building my own library of physical copies. Streaming is simply renting content that can and will disappear at the corporate whims. Add in that companies are editing their films to be more modern means DVD/Blu-Ray is the only way to ensure you keep films/TV as they were originally envisioned.
The streaming wars are over, and consumers are the ones losing the most.
I work in film and television. I'm a huge movie buff. I hate the modern streaming business models. I miss old school Netflix.
I'm so done with everything associated with Disney. Their endless poor-quality cash-grabs and mismanagement of once-respected franchises, as well as an overall lack of audience-pleasing entertainment, has locked my wallet for anything they will produce. They had a good run, but they lost their way.
Agreed. And they push an agenda that your average moviegoer does not want to see.
What?? You don't want to be lectured by a show?? You want to be entertained instead?? What's wrong with you??
Extreme take imo
Fr.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Is the only hope/interest for me.
For those that remember Cable TV did the exact same thing. It started off as being an ad free service. Then they split off various channels to premium levels, added the ads back and so on. Streaming never worked tbh, but it worked best when it was a distributor, not a producer of content with old Netflix. Being able to find every thing on one service worked, having to shop around removes the convenience and savings to the point you might as well not pay for a streaming service. You either go back to cable, go without or just find free content online to enjoy like youtube.
Tencent wetv, iqiyi and youku wants to talk to you 😅 I subscribe to that 3 streaming platform. I'm happy to pay because they don't have woke and identity politics Bullshit. You know what even crazy, people can actually watch their content for free. The vip member get to watch more episode release earlier than public. And after the show its done it will be lock for vip only.
It means they release show that the viewer wants and appreciateciated it to the point they buy vip to watch extra episode. Look at Netflix. N disney. keep putting up woke bullshit. I'm at the point watching Netflix for other shows that Netflix rent to put up on their library not their original content. Not because saturated but because the quality that they put out is just pure trash.
I rather multiple platforms with the same catalog; a practice done in many countries with sane laws around distribution of media.
wow just like facebook
but of course they have to pay for the cost of infrustructure
I realized long ago that I don't need all of these shows in my life. I just don't care about any of it. I just sit back and enjoy the various dumpster fires at nighttime. The distant glowing fires are soothing as the big companies lie to everyone and battle it out!😂.
@@Dave102693I miss the days when a "platform" was something to stand on.
For those of us who remember back when cable tv first became a thing it was offered on the idea that you would pay for channels and get rid of ads for that monthly fee. Over time the ads began to creep back in, first it was just a block of ads between episodes or movies, then it eventually became during the show or movie until it was indistinguishable from regular TV broadcasts. To think that online streaming wouldn't follow the same path already pioneered and proven that it works by the cable companies is just a disconnect of people who don't remember history.
The worst were the arguments where you'd complain about the ads and the other guy would say you're complaining about free TV. Strange, I don't remember "free" TV costing so much. Somehow the cable industry convinced a lot of us that we just paid for a hookup and that the content itself was separate.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 I think you're thinking of Broadcast. i.e. the Channels you could get with your 'bunny ears'. Of course, part of it was that Broadcast can only support so many channels due to the finite nature of the EM spectrum. Cable allowed more 'freemium' channels to be packaged as a standard part of the basic cable plan. The problem was that most of those channels kinda sucked.
A common issue was a thing called 'network decay' where over time Channels dedicated to certain genres would slowly degrade into a sort of 'generic male interest' or 'generic female interest' channel. A good example is the History Channel starting with history and then gradually devolving into Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, and Pawn Stars . . .
@@BustermachineHistory Channel…such a missed opportunity for the teaching community. Imagine if it was programming that actually synchronized with the curricula of elementary and middle school. That, instead of being supported by advertising, was supported by a national education fund. Like PBS, but not today’s PBS. The PBS of 50 years ago.
CNN, MTV and ESPN had commercials from day 1, which I never accepted as I simply refuse to sit through commercials on something I’m paying for. Nickelodeon was commercial-free its first year or so.
Yeah I'm old enough to remember it. It's was only a matter of time that the same thing happened on streaming services because it's never enough.
You forgot to say that Disney is also killing its own brand by cramming all the woke crap in everything they produce these days
I hate how ads have taken over every form of media, to the point where companies can't even really make a profit without them. Its just a stain that will never go away.
I've never had to watch a single ad, my ad block is awesome
Maybe if Disney had used Disney plus as an archive library while puting their new stuff on the other streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
that actually good idea cuz there are some people didn't watch some show from previous years and make them wonder any kind of during that year.
Genius
How come no one on Disney had this thought? It should be so simple to make an attractive streaming service when you have such a deep archive of beloved shows and movies like they do.
Honestly it is what I use for and it can be used that way. The fact that they’re releasing mediocre shows doesn’t stop the audience from doing that.
@@thevinisoThey tried to copy netflix instead of coming up with a disney archive idea.
The fact that they removed Disney+ Premium within the span of its first year, says enough of what Disney needs to know about their new content
Was that the harebrained scheme that added $39.99 for Raya ON TOP of the usual subscription fee?
Frr 💀

@@annieboookhall That's EXTORTIONATE

There was a disney+ ad before this video LOL
People loved streaming services and youtube because they were free of intrusive advertising. You can just enjoy the content and move on. And now, we are right back to the TV cable model with the same fragmented channels.
very ironic that some people so obsessed want to be success in quick way only in end result get few good .
So they all think that that the future is the past - with an outdated and obsolete business model.
All Disney had to do was to open the vault and put up content that made them successful in the first place like all The Wonderful World of Disney movies/specials with Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse Club, etc….Hell, they could’ve even released Song of the South with a disclaimer. Instead they spent tons of money on new lame ass movies and shows that no asked for or wanted.
Thank you for bringing us the facts on the table. I am an independent film maker since 2000 and I've seen the birth of DVD to Streaming and I still believe people wants to own their movies. Some digital and some to put on the shelves. I get so frustrated when a movie I've downloaded on a streaming site to finally watch is erased by the service without telling me. I hate when you only can watch season 1-4, 6-,9,12 and not a complete series. Therefore I am trying to buy what I like and what's available.
Best part about Disney+ Basic? The OG Disney Channel on cable was completely ad free, and included in almost all non-basic cable packages (local channels only type packages)
Believe it or not, there was a time when you actually had to pay extra JUST to get the Disney Channel. I remember being a kid and being excited whenever Disney did their "generous" free month where all cable networks would get to watch the channel without paying for a short time, mostly interrupted with ads telling you to give them money if you actually want to watch the channel for real.
One thing you forgot to mention is that Disney+ is also removing their own original shows because of residual fees. There could be a world where Netflix removes its beloved originals from their platform to cut costs too.
they’ve already removed some of their own produced shows :/
Blaming the streaming industry for Disney’s problems is the biggest cop out I have ever heard. Plain and simple, they put out a crap product and the public isn’t buying.
mainly some show not worth watch that make less costumes.
Like most things in life the answer tends to be a lot more intricate complex and boring
@@PapiGi0 true fact indeed.
Good thing I live in Australia were hulu and Disney+ are combined and no ads and all the spiderman movies except for across the spider verse and no way home
When they went after kids with dudes in dresses with beards, the downfall accelerated. Pissed off mom's. Do not mess with mama bears.
The problem is when they built their business strategy around Disney+, when they changed story telling and production to compromise for the streaming service, like cutting a movie in tv series, or interrupting narrative of a franchise with mini projects, or release high budget movies directly on Disney+ instead of in cinema
These big companies are forgetting the world has far less money than they used to due to rising cost of living etc. I had to cancel many of my subscriptions just so I could afford food.
Especially with the writer’s strike going on right now, it’s going to halt even more projects. Apple TV+ recently cancelled their metropolitan tv series as well.
The writer's strike has been on going since television media created red-tape policies from its inception. This isn't the first or last time the creative teams, costume teams, filmmaker teams or others will go on strike. The problem with Disney and its subsidiaries is/are they hire way too many people, give them ideas, them the creative team comes up with an excellent idea. Then the stupid censorship law comes in and edits everything out, taking away the essence and soul of the project. It leaves the creatives without much control and then they feel cheated out of the job and then add in low pay, few perks, some are part time or via-contract (per X amount of months) and they feel like they aren't given enough money or creative power to make something unique for the mass public. This applies almost to every other filming industry, but I haven't done research on the others yet.
The whole company is in free-fall, I think they’re beginning to wake up to the fact that there is no money in streaming.
The worst part is that they’ve bet the farm in streaming at the expense of severing physical media sales like blu-Ray and dvd and also lack of merchandise.
The only way streaming will survive is by merging. If you want to have everything right now, you'll end up paying what you wanted to stop paying with cable. That's what I like about Prime, I can pick and choose other streamers from the same platform, but it still costs too much, so I just drop one and move to another depending on what they have that month, but from the same platform and easier
I think one of the biggest reasons for the downfall of streaming services is that so many people just pirate stuff now because they don't want to have to subscribe to 7, different services annually to watch 7 shows they like when they could very easily pirate all seven for free.
tru
I still subscribe to Netflix cause I like a lot of their shows and the app works great everywhere. Also, it's not their fault everybody and their mother decided to launch their own streaming service. Also also, the fact that streaming is the only service they provide is a nice for me personally as I don't like feeding the monsters that are Amazon, Apple and Disney.
Hulu is pretty decent for tv series and a more than decent anime catalog
yeah, often piracy sites don't randomly take down content because of licensing issues (because they don't give a shit about licensing lmao), don't have excessive in-video ads and you can just download whatever you want and actually keep it. not to mention the whole thing with not having to subscribe to 7 different services. piracy just seems like a way better deal than having to pay possibly hundreds for premium streaming per month. the only thing you'd probably need to pay for is a VPN and you're all good (totally not advocating for piracy wink wink).

I really hate how they've been trying to become a monopoly on entertainment. I mean, they already had Pixar, then they got Marvel and it became absurdly successful. Was that enough? No, they bought Lucasfilm and milked the shit out of Star Wars. Of course it worked, so what did they do with their truckloads of money? They just fucking bought 21st Century Fox. It's ridiculous, who can even compete against that?
@@thevinisowell it was Disneys effort to make Marvel sucessful. They could have also produced lots of losses.
@@rupertschwarz5477 Sure, but it was successful, ridiculously successful, in fact. And even then they still felt the need to buy Lucasfilm and Fox.

As son as any service introduces mandatory ads of any kind I am gone! I’ll start downloading again. Currently I am paying for prime, disney+, netflix, hbo max and some smaller and local channels. Their only appeal is the lack of ads!
I think in terms of Disney, piracy is just gonna come out on top or if people choose to not pirate then adblockers that specifically block ads on Disney will start popping up in mass. It's gonna be a losing situation for them either way and their current tactics are just driving away whatever loyal audiences they have left.
I think the issue is how astronomical budgets are for shows for no reason. Shows are over $200mil for a season, with nothing to show for it
It's because when you could sell the license to Netflix, Hulu and HBO plus run it on a cable channel laiden with ad revenue and sell box sets to hardcore fans you could easily make that back. When you cut off 3/4ths of your potential audience, forced out the cable channel to have enough viewers for that ad revenue by forcing people onto your service, and stop selling box sets because "that hurts the streaming service" you suddenly end up with not even breaking even.
It's not really about spending too much, it's the vertical integration of the streaming service the shows have to hold up causing the shows to lose their budget over time and become parodies of their first seasons. Suddenly the proft you'd get from streaming on a single streaming service is eating your budget whole.
As a physical media junkie, I’m curious to see where it all leads. The original streamer was Napster…it was theft. Robin Hood in concept, but it singlehandedly devalued art, destroyed many businesses, and created “customers” who expect everything for nothing. Disposable society. Netflix did things right, but again gave away everything for little $. When competition started stealing their shows and movies, customers are suddenly getting *less* for same $ and were upset. A lot of loyalty lost. Fact is, streaming isn’t built around true loyalty and is now suffering from its own vulture-based culture. Full credit to the people trying to make it work for the customers, I cant imagine! But per this video, if its quantity vs quality and decisions to make cuts that affect the customers are made to appease stockholders…the best they can hope for is that their fanbase is lazy and uninvested enough that they wont care about being shortchanged everytime material is cut from their service and they’ll keep shelling out $ every month anyways. With Netflix and Disney in mind, I think people are getting wise. Has a sinking ship vibe for sure. Streaming for $10/mo might trump buying a bluray for $30, but at least you know where your $ is going and you know where the bluray is a month from now lol.
Well stated. The viability of Hollywood depends on people paying for it's product, whether it's 4k Blu or Blu or DVD or vod, but dollars must be paid in some way. Streaming as a buffet does not support the industry model and has to give; I've said before and I'll say again one quick fix is for studio streamers to jointly limit ALL movies from the streaming services and instead only use them to show and promote tv style shows. This way people must continuing going to the theater for movies, where the money is made, while being content with only using streamers for TV shows and never expecting to see Oppenheimer or Barbie there for no extra cost. To me this would greatly restore the prestige and spectacle of film in whatever genre while readjusting expectations with what to expect from streaming. The business model hollywood needs would stay intact while allowing streaming to be another but small of arm of tv script distribution
@@ravf458 Agreed. Im no accountant or businessman, just thinking out loud. But if major entertainment businesses are losing huge amounts of money, Id have to think that either the quality is lacking therefore they’re losing people…OR their expenses are higher than profit due to business models.

The problem with streaming for me is how indecisive I’ve become now there’s 1,000,000 streaming services to choose from and even more watch that I’m not as interested in as before
It is a trouble to even decide where to search for what content.
Once bearded princess made the news we canceled everything Disney. Their content is no longer what Walt Disney imagined. Re-imagine a world without customers.
This is very much a USA take, in most European markets, Hulu (named Star here), is included as a seperate hub. Which means we get all that content plus the newest Fox releases. For people who grew up watching Disney Channel, it's a goldmine of content as well with all those movies and shows. Just depends on what you want out of Disney+. For me, it's the service I use most. Especially for adult animation like Bob's Burgers, Futurama, etc. If you're only subscribed for Marvel and Star Wars, yeh, you're setting yourselves up for dissapointment.
Blu ray markets need to be championed again as the primary way to see/own movies and tv in optimal presentation. It's far more profitable. Second, ALL studio streamers except Netflix need to limit movies altogether from the services; streamers should only play tv style shows. This distinguishes pretigious film from TV and the industry model that keeps Hollywood going can STAY INTACT. People will attend the theaters knowing that's the only place they can see the movies, while never expecting to see those on streaming unless through VOD or Blu ray, which is paid for formats
Blu Ray is a great option. HD quality video and sound, without needing Internet, and you can even resell it. I get them from my library.
I agree. DVD and Blu-Ray are going to see a big renaissance is this keeps up

Sure it doesn’t help that the words ‘star wars’ is associated with ‘garbage’ thanks to them but ultimately, doesn’t matter what Disney do they won’t get peoples money while this crisis is underway.
Ive seen this "growth first" mindset and its consequences a lot in tech industry. Things are great at first, with service constantly improving. But once new users aren't coming in, thr company starts squeezing out those they have.
Notice how Netflix ignored accound sharing for years, but decided to crack it down the moment they reported their first ever decrease is subscribers count.
It feels like building a sustainable business model isn't a goal anymore.
This is pretty much exactly what I expected when they announced Disney+. I knew it was a bad idea from the start.
They were just going to cannibalize each other until most of them fail anyway. And it has started.
Very interesting. I think one thing not mentioned is that when all the companies with IPs wanted a piece of the the Netflix pie everything changed. In the U.K. sky still own the majority of sports. So if you want to have all the sports and IPs it’s actually a lot more expensive now then it was when everything was on cable/sky. Also what changed for cable companies was with recording facilities people just record stuff and skip the advertising (was it TIVo who actually tried to stop that?). This fragmentation, cost of living and the fact it actually costs more by a good £40-50 then it used to for the same amount of content due to all the new streaming services has meant people have had enough and just cancel and swap between them.
I just wish it is like in earlier days. One (maybe two) Streaming Service(s) where you can find any show. I can't prove it, but I imagine that since the big studios started their own streaming services, Piracy grew again...
When Disney+ first came out it was pretty cool. I was only mildly interested in the new content coming. I was looking forward to all the shows I watched growing up being easily watchable in one spot and being able to watch the shows that I wasn't able to when they we're airing. It's been a major disappointment that all the shows Disney put out are still not on the streaming service and there are missing seasons or episodes.
The big problem for Disney+ is you can not let your kid watch Disney+ without having to worry about what they are watching. They have so much sick programming at this point it is scary.
There is nothing on Disney+ (apart from +16 or +18 shows, which can be blocked in a kid's account) that a kid can't watch. Seriously, is a tiny little kiss, that is literally 2 seconds long inside an almost 2 hour movie, something "sick"? Maybe it's people who see this as "sick" the one's who are actually sick...
Apparently the CFO left last week due to personal reasons, but apparently she clashed quite a lot with ideals from CEO Bob Iger. That’s not a good sign at all.
Netflix really started out as a movie delivery service, back when DVDs were still a thing and pretty much toppled Blockbuster off the map. Then it evolved into streaming and pioneered the industry until it started looking at competition. Now in the streaming service wars were already saw the loss of CNN+ and soon to be Disney+ (which like most ppl. confuses me as to why thay even created their own streaming service.) The model of licensing worked! If it ain't broke...
*Yeah, no.*
*The reason Disney+ lost those subscribers is because they lost the cricket in India.*
*Disney+ will still be here in a year*
Streaming Services are allot like insurance companies.
Yet we don't really NEED streaming services compared to insurance.
I hope this is a step towards going back to physical media again. They wont take that away from you and you wont have to worry they have tampered with it in some way (cencorship). I have a pretty large collection of films that wont be tossed away anytime soon. Also most streaming services don't have the old school classics (refering to any film that was released prior to the mid / early 90's).
Too many streaming services and price increase leads people to pick and choose what services will give them more for their buck
The real issue is Disney no longer knows it’s customer. I’m not sure who they’re making contact for but it’s not the average person. Also how do you have a Star Wars world and not base it on the original trilogy?! It’s IP mismanagement of the highest order.
This is an incredibly well made video, amazing editing and really engaging visuals, which is unusual from this type of more commentary-based video. Great job
Now this is a very interesting video overall. I subscribed to roger on what’s on Disney plus who is very positive about all these changes. It really seems like Disney is doing both from cutting costs and creating more projects from Star Wars and marvel as a result. Definitely a big game of catch-22.
It seems like in the end we are headed right back into cable. We got streaming services to get rid of all the commercials. And another thing that bothers me is the amount of time a movie stays on a service. I remember if there was a movie you wanted to watch you could just put it in your watchlist and when you had time you could watch it. Now days there is no reason to add anything bc it will be gone in a month. I understand everything is under license but it still sucks that we have to watch everything in a week.
Wow. The production of this clip is INSANE. Amazing work, thank you. Subscribed and hit the bell. Highly professional storytelling, enjoyed watching it.
You missed the fact that Disney wrecked its family-friendly branding by pandering to a bunch of people who hate families.
Disney Got Woke, Went Broke.
Actual wokeness isn't the cheap pandering BS Disney is doing. Like, learn the difference before you come across as a cranky white dude who just wants to be mad. Disney stuff sucks, but not because of whatever you think "woke" means
Agreed they lost me to woke trash.
That is for sure, and more over if not families hating on some group of people be it straight, white, men or what have you making sweeping generalizations about Them, people never seem to get it, you cannot fight hate with more hate nor can you fight anything stemming from it with more of the same like any ism, it is simply a lie, if one does They are no better then the one that committed the damnable act in the fist place, woke-ism seams more about hate and victim hood and self defeatist mentality than anything that brings people together or uplifts Them' to "do better" malice will not heal this world two wrongs do not make a right, nothing They' make has any heart anymore it is just meant to appease ESG, and if people make it known that They' are opposed to this stagnant content, the media always uses the same old dull and broken buckler of a defense " you are all just a bunch of bigots" and you hate this movie because you hate (blank), as there cannot be any other reason, when you focus on one aspect everything else suffers, in this case the writing, characterization, character development and story, all the things that should matter far more as you can let the themes of what you want to tell happen organically, rather than seem forced and tactless.
I can't believe the pay for having ads. It's so prehistorical that seems like a nightmare.
Once the growth stops because it's not sustainable, it becomes unrealistic to offer new content or pay your staff. I mean, there's a reason why the Writer's Guild is on strike and why people are unsubscribing.
Honestly, the only reason why we bought Disney+ was to watch the new Goosebumps series, after that this app can become a distant memory for all I care.
Hopefully, this show will slap hard and not flop like their other movies.
I mean, Sony Pictures and Scholastic Entertainment are in charge this time around so, let’s hope they do justice to this reboot.
Ps: Disney better stay far away from the Sony show writers! The only thing they need to worry about is their own marketing ad planning and that teaser trailer imo.
Netflix killed BlockBuster in the home rental arena but it's still around as RedBox is killing NetFlix. So NetFlix is actually the most in trouble as it doesn't have something else to fall back on. The future of streaming is Apple, Google, and Amazon companies that don't need the streaming side to keep going.
This comment did not age well, because AppleTV+ is the biggest failure in streaming.
They need to bring back more library content like buzz lightyear of star command
I honestly hope not, there are a bunch of series i still regularly watch on Disney Plus.
However, streaming in general is iffy to me rn. Like, we have what, Netflix, Hulu, Disney +, Paramount +, Prime, HBO Max (though that one is unavailable to a lot of people), etc.
That's too much. You cant reasonably have all of them and FOMO is kinda forcing people to.
With the path and management they've chosen, it can't happen fast enough.
You are SO UNDERATED 688 SUBS LIKE WHAAT
The streaming market is too fragmented. Rather than sign up to 6 platforms to watch 6 shows, I'll more likely just go to The Pirate Bay. No ads.
bell comment, 0:20 5:00 D+ expectations, get additional profits 6:40 back to adving 1:40 "unprofitable cable" -- Long game 2:15 growth over profitability
Disney going out of buisness?
"Don't do that. Dont give me hope."
Dude for a small channel your After Effects skills are absolutely mental
0:55 Comcast.
And then there's Peacock. (also TWC is dead, it's Charter Spectrum now)
Dude, I found out about your channel awhile ago, and I gotta say, your channel and videos = 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 and quality is top notch! Keep up the good work!
Wow, thanks! 🙏
@@Dollar.Stories No problem, keep up the good work!
You seem to be forgetting that outside of the United States, Disney Plus carries Fox and Hulu content under its Star label since Hulu is a USA only streaming service. However I think there will be an instance of streamers merging and/ or signing new distribution deals with Netflix since we have reached over saturation.
Hulu has a branch in Japan, actually.
@rubyy.7374 No, they don't. Hulu Japan is wholly owned and operated by Nippon TV, and has been since 2014.
After Disney+ cancelled 6 episode series about Atatürk (founder of the modern Turkish Republic) many possible subscription along with already existing subscriptions started to fly away from Disney+. Possibly because of Armenian Diaspora lobbies pressuring Disney for a genocide which is unknown if it existed or not.
When Netflix had content from many different sources, like in the beginning, it was a success. However, when the majority of those sources, decided to remove their material and jump on the streaming bandwagon, the proverbial applecart was upset. All in 1 shopping is great. Having to go to several places for separate things, is less desirable.
Your videos are so well done
Good job man 👍
Can't wait for more!
PLEASE don’t make it seem like people don’t like Disney anymore just because they put out a lot of content on their streaming service in a short amount of time. People DO still love their works! Also, the Little Mermaid remake is a poor example of what you’re trying to say because it was a theatrical release and it was actually really good.
Major cable networks and TV broadcasting companies saying, "It's the commercial, stupid.". Once they believed as constant reliable subscription revenue turns out to be much unstable than advertisement contract. (Well it was obvious while TV commerical force audience to watch your ad and doesn't require them to be appreciable for major audience rather than your ad sponser, in streaming, every single element of content is matter of your audience's continuance subscriptions. You watch TV for no reason, but you don't subscribe and watch streaming for no reason.)
Disney+ and Hulu are going to merge into one streaming platform eventually!
I HATE ADS
Good. I would have cancelled them a long time ago but the wife keeps irrationally to keep them.
i remember back in 2019 seeing disney+ releasing and everyone getting hyped ......... seeing its downfall now is just sad
Living in Australia.
&
Disney + making the decision to stop producing Physical media DVD, Blu-ray, 4k in my country is such a stupid & bad idea.
All Disney Films & anything under the
20th Centuary FOX
catalogue can no longer be sought after.
It's a company that is destroying itself and its reputation.
Streaming services should do the following: 1. Stop pouring money into making hundreds of new costly, but underwhelming shows
2. Pay licenses for proper movies and shows that stood the test of time. If i want to watch smth online, i google the movie title+ watch online, and pronto! I can see any movie from the 30s, 40s, 50s... 2020s i like. I want to do the SAME thing on a streaming platform.
3. Drastically reduce their fees and introduce ads. I know they are annoying, but they pay the bill. They could work round them: with only two 10 minute breaks inside a movie, or ads at the beginning, middle and end, or when you turn the tv on, or when you choose a movie, etc. They could get creative with ads, like games do :" watch ads to gain extra points" They could limit your watch time to 1 movie/day unless you watch some ads, the more ads, the more points and watch hours you get, etc.
3 they could ask you to hire movies : "Wanna watch this, pay a fraction of the movie license every time you do.
But most of all, they should STOP making movies just for propaganda sake.
Are we really surprised? People keep saying I'll only use Disney + subscription when new seasons come out and then cancel. This is what is killing it.
I also believe their stock is plummeting because people are boycotting them for pushing agendas.
Facts
it's just a clickbait title
I'd assume the situation is comparable to the format war in gaming, Playstation vs. Xbox vs. PC: What ultimately sells platforms, is exclusive content.
The thing with Warner brothers is some of their films like ‘Dune’ or so other are most like to be ‘Theatre’ films so somewhoe they win, compared to disney+ they just through you films you can watch later on in house with your family! Warner bros are losing at ‘DCEU’ because they announced they gonna refresh the whole DCEU
Uhh, you didnt even mention, they went woke.
I wonder what the actual Mr. Disney would feel about his company today. 😞
He'd be extremely disappointed, I can guarantee that.
He'd just suggest not paying any of the employees and keeping the money like he did before. Walt wasn't the angel people make him out to be.
Man this is such a great video
I remember when the trio was just $15. No ads either. Now I’m paying the duo with ads for $10. Streaming is dying in this world. Good thing I still own dvds and Blu rays
This video is going to age poorly
Ancak ATATÜRK düşmanları izler. Abonelik iptal ettim. Gönülde Cumhuriyet vefası olan herkes iptal eder.
The hero wars ad that interrupted this video was such a perfect metaphor for the streaming service story that I thought it was part of the video for about twenty seconds.
