Imv, the only profitable option for dedicated streamers/content companies (Eg those whose only source of income is their streaming/media content) will be to ditch monthly subs and implement a pay per show, even perhaps a rent-the-episode approach (perhaps 99 cents?). This would probably drive up piracy even more but I don’t see what other option streamers such as AMC have..
Another issue though is that AMC should never have tried to handle the infra/app component of the streaming themselves. They should have stuck with just an agreement with Amazon or Hulu (much like FX has) for the infra/tech side, and then they can stick their focus purely on content.
- macintux 4y agoiTunes formerly allowed TV shows to be rented per-episode. Would be interesting to find out why they stopped doing so.
