It hurts customers, but the big companies will be fine. HBO and Disney can afford to do this.
They can also put things onto more combined services like Hulu. Amazon selling individual shows and movies also makes it easier.
I'll probably cut Netflix the way things are going. I really only want a few of their original shows. Every time I open the app it feels like a mountain of crappy content to sift through. Amazon too, but it's prime at least.
It varies though. Lately I've been watching lots of Hulu stuff.
I'm fine with spending the money for a service that's worth it. Disney, maybe since I don't have kids. HBO yes. Combined services like Netflix or Hulu, for now yes. CBS no, I'm not getting their streaming service just for star trek. NBC ad supported, absolutely never. I will never use a service that shows ads.

I imagine they must have crunched numbers indicating they'll make more money from people signing up for this service than they do from licenses, even if fewer people use it than view the content from Netflix via license. I still believe that in the long run, though, it may be a mistake for them.
