Should've been only Netflix and that's it. We're now back to cable TV times again, where you need to sign up for every company channel otherwise you cant watch their content. If everything was unified, then that would've been much better from a consumer point of view. That's historically incorrect The more competition, the better for the consumer. Netflix alone in the industry would completely inflate prices and cease investments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harwee Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 24 minutes ago, Repelex said: Nah. Warner for movies ok, but not Discovery for series, Discovery is known for reality trash nowadays. Nobody would know HBO originals or those HBO Max/WB Television originals/Cartoon Network would be in a Discovery streaming service, that name might even pull people off. How are Paramout+ and Peacock doing? Yeah cause quality is what men in suits care about. Clearly they don’t care otherwise the merger wouldn’t have occurred. Discovery+ have 25m subscribers and possibly 3x more of trash series they don’t want to produce is all they care about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lost. yes. basically, Discovery+ will become HBO Max and they will stop producing any scripted shows (like Hacks or Gossip Girl). HBO Max exclusive shows will still be on the Discovery+ service, but it will probably slowly drop any original scripted programming and focus on reality shows etc. so basically the dumbest business move in streaming history apart from Quibi.
