I’m not sure they can. Even the most successful tv channels of all time offer mostly crap that few people like. In order to maximize subscribers these “services” would need HBO quality shows all of the time. Is Disney capable of that? Not really to be honest. And you can’t use the business model of a premier channel and not bring the goods. People will stop paying. They thought they could rely on name brand IPs but that’s a strategy for movie franchises and it has proven to not work so well for tv shows. We did have at least a functional version of the Streaming model back when it was just Netflix doing it, and everybody that was willing to Stream streamed through them. There was something for everyone on Netflix in the old days. The problems started when everybody started doing it. I had Netflix for about 4 years or so. It was great for catching up on shows I missed like Breaking Bad, Futurama, Dexter, ect. But once I exhausted the catalogue I dropped it. There were very few originals that were worth watching. This is of course just my personal experience but I honestly don’t understand why people subscribe to Netflix long term.

Well, it was more understandable to subscribe to Netflix back when it was the only house in town that these shows online legally. When they had Doctor Who and various anime I liked on Netflix, that alone was reason enough for me to subscribed.

Disney simply forgot who their target audience is which made them huge in the first place. Families with kids. Im not saying you can not add any characters that are gay, trans or whatever. But if you start to do that too much people will just stop watching. Because they dont like being preached to. Im all for what people call woke. Its fine by me. As long as the stories are good and entertaining I have zero problems. But Im not everybody. Fact of the matter is they made their fortune catering to traditional families and they are being ignored in their content. As for streaming in general... You pay for streaming so you can access your desired content at any given time. And people are just now finding out that content gets pulled on a regular basis or even altered. That was not what they signed up for. And one to three services isnt an issue. A dozen is. We are seeing a return to physical media. And that is not for nothing. And I for one embrace it. Im not saying you can not add any characters that are gay, trans or whatever. But if you start to do that too much people will just stop watching. Because they dont like being preached to.
What an insult to gay, trans, or whatever people if that’s true.

What an insult to gay, trans, or whatever people if that’s true. If you ask me I think the whatever people deserve more representation. Personally I identify as a whatchamacallit.

To me it’s saying the “gay, trans, or whatever” fans are less important than the fans who are not in those three categories, and “whatever” can be anyone the non-category folks deem less important or interesting in their exclusive view at the time. I’m sure GM doesn’t mean it to sound so crass, but it is true. A few years ago, someone pitched idea to remake Ghostbusters with an all female cast and hell broke loose. To this day, I have not figured out what the big deal was. Maybe the next Ghostbusters can be a time of left/right fandom healing.

You two love birds will have to sort out your political differences while I make the popcorn.
