Think it’s worrying that YouTube hasn’t realized they’re the disruptor and actually have more value in a lot of people, especially young peoples minds than Disney properties.
I don’t see this as a space them worth burning the money to compete in. Makes more sense to invest that back in their own platform, even with their budgets lack of focus can be damaging.

Losing those box fees, HD fee, regulatory recovery fee, etc. nets one a savings even if the advertised monthly price is the same. Being able to self-install is also worth a day of PTO.
