At a certain point there's simply going to be too many options. There's already a huge overlap of content between the big players, so it'll come down to who has the best originals.
People aren't going to pay for 3-5 disparate video services, especially where 80% of the same content is available on all of them.
- mc32 8y agoMaybe a third party will arise which would bundle the services at some discount -kind of like we have with museum passes and other bundling services.
- ilikecakeandpie 8y agoWe'll come full circle OTA TV => Cable and Satellite Companies => Streaming services => Service or company that wrangles in all streaming services

HBO, Showtime, Starz, sports packages, etc. Plenty of evidence that they _will_ do exactly that. I hope it doesn't go that way, but there's a reason we ended up with cable in its current form.
- SteveNuts 8y agoEventually it'll end up just like a bundled cable subscription. Anecdotally I don't know anyone that pays for all of those services + an Amazon video and Netflix. Most of the people I know have Netflix + maybe one premium channel add-on subscription.
- stevula 8y agoLots of people have Amazon Prime which includes the video streaming service.

- gremlinsinc 8y agoYeah, we have Netflix, and I get HBO for about 3 months/per year till I'm caught up on the major shows, except this year (No game of thrones).
