If Netflix has this much money then I feel less bad about pirating their content for years now.
They’ve clearly got too much (fucking wrestling?), but somehow not enough for anything I want to watch.
Get ready for Ultra Premium™️ subscription price hikes.
Someone has to pay for that acquisition, and it won’t be the shareholders.
Usually its debt in the new company with these scumbags.
I’m ready to pirate.
I already am, but I’m still ready as well.
thank you, mitch.
I am not sure that’s what anyone wanted when they said there are too many different streaming services.
What were they expecting?
The various media owners to lease out their licenses to a small handful of competing services and for the streaming services to choose which material was worth the lease cost to stay competitive.
Companies not to vertically integrate. Production studios should produce movies, and streaming platforms should provide a platform for people to access movies. If Spotify made its own music it would be absurd, right? Well, yeah.
“Netflix says the buy would give users more choice”
In a world with real journalism the very next question would be how but we just spread the normalization and allow the little lies.
That’s bad, HBO won’t make new quality show.
This is the best possible outcome out of a very shitty list. They haf to sell, Disney already owns too much, Jeff Bezos would monetize it in the worst possible ways, and Larry Ellison is the most evil billionaire in the US. Yes, much worse than Elon, Zuck, Bezos, etc.
EDIT: Unfortunately Larry Ellison could still buy the global division which includes CNN. Netflix is only buying the studios and streaming. Still no idea what happens to DC Comics but I think it goes with global?
How many more acquisitions before it’s all just one entertainment company?
This is actually worse than even Paramount aquiring them.
Both were shit, but this is hands down the worst possible outcome.
I thought Disney already did that
Maybe it’s like The Producers and they’re just selling it to everyone.
Zaslav you shitbag.
I was really hoping for HBO to be the ones to tackle a Stormlight Archive adaptation. I no longer do.
That is my nightmare. There isnt a single fantasy book series to television adaptation that hasnt been absolutely horrible. Dont ruin my cosmere stuff please
Netflix is the new direct tv. Instead of 500 channels, your choice of content is splattered in one spot.
