The problem is that companies like Disney have already out-produced them. Disney has decades of quality material ready to go

For very narrow values of quality, sure. I also hope to hell that the fragmentation or content distribution doesn’t continue unabated. Someone else posted the phrase earlier today, “Death by a thousand cuts,” and they’re right.

Hulu. Netflix. Amazon. CBS. Disney. FX. YouTube Red. Crunchyroll. And on and on.

It’s only vaguely workable when compared to the totslly unworkable price of American cable tv.

Sure but I want to watch things I haven’t seen before
I think Disney is going to find that it’s harder to build a massive online service than it looks and Netflix will become an attractive merger target if they ever falter too badly.
