YOU Lost the Streaming Wars
Рет қаралды 630,222
Күн бұрынIn 2019 Disney+ and AppleTV+ launched to compete with Netflix, PrimeVideo and Hulu in what would be known as the "Streaming Wars". The following years we'd get HBO Max, Paramount+ and Peacock joining them, but years later and it's now looking clear who lost this war... us the consumers.
The constant price increase, the splitting of catalogues, the cancellations of shows and even new password sharing restrictions are just some of the drawbacks we've experienced from this competition. But there's much more to it than that as streaming services shift their focus from market share to profits in this stagnant market that once looked lucrative.

I consider myself a winner thanks to the streaming wars. I found that since I can't watch many of the big hits when they are newly released, I lose interest in watching them at all. Since I can't watch everything I want to watch, I have come to realize that it is not that important to watch the shows that I can. As a result of the streaming wars, I now watch far less TV, I read more and I do other activities more. So I'm really the winner.

The fact that all those streaming platform hit a wall of loses is part of capitalism. Because profits and losses are both incentives that make a business profitable or not. People invested in steaming because it was really profitable. They invested too much and have to cut back. They took a risk and will be punished for making a wrong decision with their investment. No one that actually understand economies believe there is such a thing as infinite growth. Its called economy and diseconomies of scales. There is a limit to growth which is why in a free market, monopolies cannot exist. It was so profitable because people bought the services which brought investments and now every company is struggling to see what is the best way to offer this service. Amazon probably has it best by adding so many services with their bundle. Unless you argue for monopolies and think only Netflix should exist.

Cable was WAY worse. It takes like 5 seconds to cancel or re-sign up for a streaming service and I can have that streaming service on any device I want. Even when I am out of town. I don’t have to call the cable company to install anything and if I cancel, I don’t have to haul installed equipment back in order to not be charged for it. Even if you got cable, each additional TV in your home usually came at a cost. Because you had to run a signal box to each separate TV (maybe it changed since the years since I abandoned cable, but proably not). Adding or subtracting channels were all controlled by your cable provider and it was an annoying process to adjust your package. Also, it wasn’t on demand. You watched what the channel aired in the timeslot it airred it for the most part. There probably will be a flux in streaming services over the coming years. Some will stick and others will fade away or combine. But streaming is still better then cable by miles. Even with ads.

Up until 2001, when they switched from analog to digital in the NYC tri-state area, I rarely watched network or cable/satelite tv. PBS (public broadcasting) channels like 13, 21, 25, and 31 had loads of programs and documentaries (many from the BBC) that my family had watched since I was a kid. Silent films, '30s Film Noir, Foreign films, European New Wave, 70s New Hollywood, experimental and cultural documentaries, BBC comedies and drama, live performances- as an adult I literally had no reason or interest to watch mainstream television and I still remember that bitter day I had to buy a digital flatscreen and throw out my tube tv set (if you still owned one). Well, ironically, I use the internet to watch the same (public domain) content I used to watch on PBS.

Viewers may have lost the streaming wars but the cable companies brought this on themselves. Realistically the end result described in the video is what we had been waiting for, an ala carte plan. In the early 90s our cable company stated they were working towards an ala carte plan where we could package groups of channels or select specific channels. This was the plan as customers were complaining about having so many channels they never watched. The only channels that ever agreed to this were WGN and WTBS. As years passed and this never happened (and these two were quietly added back into the standard package) it came out the channels refused to go along. Some channels viewership was so low that it came out if they were available only by customer choice subscriptions would be so low they would have to close. It's unlikely the end result will come to much of a savings but it is a little closer to what we wanted.

Foxtel was a huge thing here in Australia, but they still refuse to change. Started out good, little to no ads and great content cycled through. Now it's full of as many ads as normal tv, costs a fortune, and is only available on one tv. How it's still going is beyond me, i'm guessing mine sites and hotels that still use it for their rooms. Hell they even had a monopoly on football showing it live while normal tv had a delay, but now theres a mix of who shows it live first and you can get most games live on free tv.

Most if not all streaming services do their customers an enormous disfavor. They fail to provide a COMPLETE, UP TO DATE list off all content available. How am I supposed to make an informed decision of what to watch when I don't know what is available? Sure, I can search for content, but that assumes I know what I want and I'm looking to see if they have it. They also need to learn about and use this thing called the alphabet. I'm tired of streaming services displaying content lists in random order. It should ALWAYS be sorted alphabetically or have an option of how I want the content list to be sorted.
@rodryguezzz Жыл бұрын
The "informed decision" they want you to do is to watch what they present you, and if you watch it long enough, they'll present similar things. They don't expect the mainstream audience to do a deep research before watching something. It's all about promoting what it's already successful.

Rotating streaming services is a great strategy, but honestly, not being able to see shows soon after they release kills all the hype. There was something exciting and special about going to the cinema and watching a movie everyone was watching at the time. Or waiting for a new episode of TV to drop each week and if you missed it you wouldn't be able to join the conversation with your friends the next day. Streaming has already made it so more people watch content alone, but if we can't even watch shows when they are hot we completely loose the social component of this type of entertainment. It will be even less appealing than it is now, at least for me

The issue with streaming is, in 2 or 3 months, you can binge your favorite shows and start diving into the more crappy shows to where you just simply get bored or burnt out of content. Its an issue with too much content, to little relation to at least my pallete for shows and movies. I haven't had a streaming service for a good year and a half or more and honestly I don't even really need the background noise for it anymore. I haven't had regular tv in over 5 years, so its just one of those things to where television at least for me is loosing its appeal. Id rather pay for an interactive environment or game more so than a television situation. Also, as stated in the video, with all these services going native to there own platform, I've lost alot of content if I stick to just one situation.

As a avid anime fan in the 2010s, anime certainly went through this problem way before the streaming wars. Piracy was honestly the only option to go to, to watch your favorite anime. Crunchyroll only had a limited catalog, most likely trying to keep the "free" model. Due to the multiple streaming services having limited catalogs, piracy grew and the anime industry was struggling. I was scared about Sony absorbing all legal streaming services for anime couple years ago, but it might save the industry having all the anime in one place. Though, Sony threw away the "free" model that CR had so the service can now pick up more anime. It is a wonder that companies did not look at what happened to the anime industry and learn from it but i guess they just fell right into the trap.

Note that once upon a time, Netflix released every episode of a series all at once--the "binging model," as we came to call it. But services like Disney Plus couldn't do this because, well, they only had a couple of shows, so they had to resort to the archaic TV model of dribbling out an episode per week. Then, for some reason, social media geniuses decided this was a brilliant creative stratagem instead of an admission of weakness, and now it's dangerously close to becoming the norm.

Great detail video. Thanks. As a screenwriter, I am aware of nother issue that is about to cause an industry shut down in the US with the TV and film writers strike. Writing for cable and network there was a chance of making a living because they made so many episodes writers could count on having year-round employment on shows that lasted over 20 episodes. Now, very few streaming shows last more than 10 episodes at the most. Because they cost so much, they disappear for a year to 18 months before another batch shows up. Ironically, there are more shows but far fewer episodes of them. This adds up too much less work for writers despite the fact there seems to be more television with over 500 scripted shows last year. The other thing that streaming has done is wipe out the syndication market. Screenwriters get royalties on international sales and re-broadcasting of their work. Not unlike, a musician getting royalties based on the plays of their songs on various platforms. When streamers make a series they own world rights. there is no secondary market for TV produced for streamers. Therefore, far fewer royalties for writers and everyone else. Yes, we get a very small percentage for digital royalties, but it does not compensate for the rollback of income in every other area.

Releasing movies into a cinema and then farming it out to streamers in a manner which maximised profits, before moving onto physical media, was still a viable strategy for movies. The issue was the studios were obsessed with streaming subs. The studio's destroyed their standard movie model in order to use those movies to boost subs. That strategy was a disaster and is currently being reversed by many studios. But for streaming, I agree the main focus is tv-shows, but apart from Netflix this is not giving anyone any profits.

I'm not the kind of person who likes to try new stuff on a whim. I want my time spent on entertainment to count. I miss the days of network TV where we only had a few channels and there were a bunch of fun shows that was solid entertainment. I'll refrain from listing shows, but I remember watching a TON of TV as a kid/teenager. Even PBS had programming that I had to catch every day/week! Now a days, I mostly watch reruns of old sitcoms and watch movies when I find they're free on Prime, normally. I will churn streaming services sometimes, but ultimately I don't like spending money on them. Amazon Prime is an exception because of all the other perks I get with it. I rather purchase and own a movie/show indefinitely than to be at the mercy of a streaming service keeping it around.

I basically unsubscribed almost all services and watch instead my own personal backlog of shows that I already own as well as old faves...I doubt I am alone.

This is EXACTLY why i loved the Mario Movie so much. I've seen good shows that were made around pandemic time, but goddamn, that was the first one that had legitimate passion behind it and wasn't just made for streaming, AND IT'S FROM ILLUMINATION.

You have 0 way of knowing if something is made with "legitimate passion". Just say you liked it more than other things you've watched.

I like being able to easily add or cancel different subscriptions on a month-by-month basis on my apple account. And since any given program or movie tends to stay on a streaming service for at least several months, I can subscribe to half of them at a time and switch every 3-6 months and still see everything I want to see.

I don't imagine that rotating platforms is going to remain a viable strategy for long. I think we're going to get the equivalent of annual streaming leases at some point and it's going to be hella hard to unsubscribe.

Dvd, bluray, and 4k bluray is the answer. Better quality, you actually own your content, and you can make a library of movies, and shows that are tailored to your taste.

The beauty of Netflix is that it replaced the video store, that was a one stop shop. The addition of original shows was cool, and again replicated HBO and Showtime. Now though, it's too much and I don't maintain subscriptions. If I really feel like it's a month where I will consume media, like around the holidays or vacation, I'll choose one with the most media I want to watch and pay for that subscription for one month and cancel. I'm not going to spend $60+ a month maintaining a ton of subscription services.

I believe the streaming services will eventually collapse back into bundled services like cable and satellite TV. Multiple streaming services is unsustainable and unless you pay for premium level, you get commercials just like the old services.

What do you recommend for people that just want to watch local sports? As a person from Michigan, I just want to watch local sporting events. Tigers and Wings are on Bally (who just filed for bankruptcy), so you gotta have cable or stream online. Lions are on Fox until they’re not. Then you need KZfaq, peacock, or whatever else. UofM football will be on Fox, Big 10 network or TBA. For me, the cheapest option seems to be that I should sign up for a streaming service only when they’re carrying one of my games, then make sure to cancel them the day after.

You can setup torrents in a way to track your shows, automatically download them and display them in a convenient desktop, mobile or tv view. Seems much more preferable than using these streaming services tbh.

Not so sure I miss the cinema, you were lucky if it was empty so you could sit in the middle with enough arm room. The people talking through the movie, the guy in the back throwing popcorn, when you're in the back the sound is way too loud and you don't see anything. If you sit in the front, you will be dead of neck pain within 10 minutes and probably not visible again in the coming week. While the other way is to enjoy a movie on the couch while having everything you could ever want at hand.

Streaming kind of killed watching movies for me. Especially with the multiple subscriptions needed to watch most stuff you would want to see. I find I read more now and play games instead of watching TV and movies.

Even if you're not fatigued on certain IPs, there is so much content coming out that they need a very high level of quality to get attention. I didn't mind many of the Marvel shows, but soon enough I felt like I missed out on other shows, and stopped watching them just for the sake of following Marvel.

I liked 1899, but I also think it was a good thing that it only got a single season, something I feel should also have been the case for Westworld and Altered Carbon, continuation of those 2 with extremely strong first seasons made it an overall worse experience, I have no doubt the same would have been true for 1899.
