Netflix was the first, but Disney has the best portfolio. It's a shame how splintered the supply is becoming though. There's not just one platform with all the content, such as the case is with Spotify for music.

@TheGreatLeveler have to say that financially Spotify is struggling.

@justanothername Most growth companies are. They're still in the phase where they invest more than they're turning a profit.

@TheGreatLeveler You are thinking of start ups as opposed to established companies that are growing.

Companies like Spotify are in a high volume but very very low margin business which means you need deep pockets and massive audiences to survive.

Piracy. Now if you want to watch all you want you hae to pay for too many services at the same time. So piracy is going to win.

@BetweenKittensandRiots I don’t think it will win but it’s always going to be a challenge for providers.

Book publishers? I'd rather read a good book than play these stupid streaming games.

RosaMarie · 41-45, F

@ChipmunkErnie Me too. Or at least listen to a book while driving. The books are so much better.

justanothername · 51-55, M

@ChipmunkErnie The market is too small for books compared to streaming content. Hopefully though there will always be a market for books.
