For those wondering about services clamping down on password sharing, that's a double-edged sword. Yes they want to, but they also know that the first service that gets strict about sharing accounts will suffer existing subscriber loss and especially significant new subscriber drop-off. You have to remember that even if a large number of accounts is sharing theirs with two or three family or friends at a different address, that does not mean that if they stop password sharing their subscriber base will suddenly double or triple overnight. It's similar to software copying in the 80s and 90s. That industry claimed it cost them billions in lost revenue, but that wasn't true. Because they ignored the crucial fact that the vast majority of people who did 'casual copying' _would not have bought the software if they couldn't get it for free!_ The same is true for streaming today. For the majority of people who 'casually' get it free by password sharing, they still wouldn't buy a subscription if they were cut off. Some would but most would not. And because of this password sharing isn't really costing the companies money. Yes it's a drain on their bandwidth, but they have to be able to offer customers multiple profiles with each account..

Dude great content! while i was watching, it felt like the video was from a channel which had atleast 1M subscribers. The quality and narration was too good. Keep up the good work♥️

This is a big reason of why I'm investing in physical media, and building my own private streaming service using Jellyfin for myself and close friends and family

As someone who used to find many TV shows ...elsewhere... because availability was so terrible here and largely locked behind a monopolistic cable service that was exorbitantly expensive, when Netflix and then Disney came along, I didn't need the Plex server any more. Then more studios started their own services, which was ok as prices were low, I added a couple more services. But then the number of first party services kept growing, and content got pulled back from license agreements, and even further content began being segmented among 'local' streaming services. And then prices went up. Now to get a similar level of content I'd need to subscribe to at least 6 services, and pay nearly 10x what I was paying for Netflix + Disney - and equivalent of what that monopolistic cable service wanted to charge for their premium package. The solution? You guessed it, pay for 2, drop the rest picked up along the way, and beef up the Plex server once more.

It's not every day you find such excellent content from such a tiny channel. Good job, you earned your 58th subscription from me.

Goddamn this video was excellent. No fluff or filler, just clear, concise and infographic-loaded chronologically presented material and in less than 10 minutes. And you even waited til the end to ask for likes and subscribes. MUCH RESPECT.

I used to work for a company that provided software for cell phone companies. The situation in that industry was a preview of the situation in the streaming industry. For a while the cell phone companies didn't need to worry about spending because they were getting millions of new subscribers every month. Eventually everybody had a cell phone, and suddenly there were no new subscribers to be had. What did the cell phone companies do? First they cut their internal costs. Then they started merging (Sprint merged with T-Mobile, for example). I wonder if we will see the same outcome in the streaming industry? My guess is ... yes.

HBO max should've just had all of the discovery plus content instead of just destroying the service real soon and starting on scratch. but it still has a majority of Cartoon Network and DC so I'm good.

Depending on the country, Disney bundles Disney + with ESPN+, HULU, HOTSTAR, STAR+ or other alternatives, All offering the same, More grown up series and Sports, Which is very smart use of their big catalogue of licenses.

I hope you keep uploading business essay content like this, you are doing fantastically with the scripts, editing and voice over

Damn this is 100K channel work. Success is going your way 🙌🏼

the problem these streaming companies seem to miss is that great content is subjective. People's favorite shows will not only exist on one platform, and that is why more pople are dropping their subscriptions because they wont pay a monthly fee just to watch a legacy show

But then again streaming is what caused internet providers to finally raise their slow internet speeds! Gotta thank streaming services for putting the pressure!

Your thumbnail game is on point! Great video too!

Excellent video! Top tier quality. I am tired of all the streaming subscriptions for everything now. It's just too much. I recently cancelled 3 streaming services with no real plans to go back for now.

I was freaking shocked to see the number of subscribers after I was done with the video. Complete shock. Keep going, great work. Great quality of production. Cheers.

great video. I wonder what company will fall first. or if two will merge or something

Very informative video. Great work. Hope to see more of your content. Subscribed. 🙂

Nice and high quailty content! Keep up!

Weekly episode releases actually encourage me to either cancel after the last episode of a series I'm watching airs, or just wait until it's all posted and only subscribe for a month. The only service I don't interrupt is Netflix.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think there’s just too much content and not enough time. too many shows, movies, games. and they’re getting bigger and bigger, with side content, sequels, prequels, universes, remasters and remakes, etc..

With so many streamers it seems inevitable that there will be a lot of subscribing, unsubscribing, and resubscribing going on. Personally I'd like to see Peacock bundle with Netflix, Paramount Plus and AMC bundle with Prime, and Apple bundle with HBO. Four big streamers is enough.

i love that as subscribers we are forcing these companies to spend lots of time & money to earn our subscriptions with great content

I get what u mean but u forgot to mention that Warner and Disney has the backlog of television shows they made for the various networks and the movies they made over there years they can give us at a moments notice Netflix never had a backlog of content to be able to pull from so even though it took them many years for the cracks in there business model to break it was foreseeable to happen especially when the major studios saw a value in the streaming landscape then exclusivity became the issue where everyone wanted to be the exclusive platform for content trying to get subscribers

Great video. With awesome info, we'll narrated. Keep it up brother

Really high quality video, great work!

Absolutely fantastic video!

This is an exceptionally great research and summary. Keep it up and the algorithm will absolutely deliver. While watching I've kept stopping and rewinding just to take every detail in... And just can't believe how well delivered it is, the infographics are pristine.

Great Video man, earned a sub

Underated video & channel Good shi. I like ...Subbed 👍🙂

Great job bluecast! You deserve more subs

Great video bud! You're gonna go far :)

Dude… the quality of this video is insane! So happy the algorithm recommended this

The really annoying thing is that more streaming services like Netflix an Disney are purchasing more Kdramas. Which in turn removes the access of these many of these series to their traditional, and often cheaper, platforms like Viki. Which while it still has a diverse range of fresh dramas has over the past year shown a notable decrease in its offering of kdramas.

This great video felt very professional.

You are such an underrated youtuber. Why do you only have 1k subs?

Really liked your video :)

great video!

BlockBuster is bout to make a streaming service. Also this video is such high quality, why is UKposts not recommending this? Seriously I thought you had 400 000 subs not 400.

Proud to be an early subscriber. Great content ✨

So, pre streaming was cable vs satellite. People then wanted to cut the cord because of outrageous prices. Biggest networks create their own streaming services... Streaming services begin bundling/consolidating, so in the future, we will all be streaming under 2, maybe 3 umbrella companies at outrageous prices again. Not to mention internet prices going up because of it...

This is great keep it up

which one of the major streaming services will be the first to go under and which one of the small streaming services will be the first to go under (if it hasn't done it already?).

and that's why I use a streaming service called "pirate bay" where everything is free.

Great video☺️☺️☺️

Great video

Great video, less than 1000 subs!? Subbed!

Deserve a bunch of more subs, hope u make it dude

Good content, keep making relevant vids in similar tone. I watch a lot of content around, matches the quality.

I agree with this video. I think if most people are like me - there's no need to keep a subscription for months if there's nothing interesting to watch.

0:33 what's this video from?

HBO Max and Prime Video haven't raised their subscription prices since their launches. I think that's a good sign and they're probably the best choices for customers looking to pay for a streaming service. Also, many people get HBO Max for free if they already pay for a cable service with HBO channels. I know Xfinity does this.

This content is Hot! Keep em coming ! 💯

Subscribed.

Hey man when the merging is going to start 👍🔥

Great content! 106th sub❤️

Currently, we subscribe to Netflix and Disney+. We find that these two services provide the most "bang for the buck" as compared to other streaming services. A price increase doesn't really bother me since it's still dramatically cheaper than a cable TV subscription and we're more likely to find content we're interested in rather than being at the mercy of network scheduling. We also save ourselves the headache of surfing through a dizzying array of specialty networks that offer little to nothing of value. I know everybody wants to get into the streaming game, but there simply isn't enough consumer demand to support DOZENS of content-limited streaming services. Sooner or later, content producers will figure out that the REAL money is in licensing existing content rather than flushing money down the toilet trying to build and sustain your own streaming service. The future of the streaming industry depends heavily on consolidation, allowing one or two players to dominate the market while other businesses focus on producing content rather than competing in a market they don't know how to compete in.

Now we head down to the local library and take out dvd sets of the 20 billion shows that came out during the streaming wars.

This is fucking underrated. How tf do you only have about 2000 subs?? Keep up the work and you'll get to 100k in no time!

Yo I was SO SHOCKED to see you only have 239 subscribers with such great content. These videos look like they were made by BIG channels. Im in for life buddy

Nice video

Pirate Chads rise up

Top quality content. I hope your channel sky rockets.

so, you did not mention any of the multilpling spawn of free, ad supported and startup services.. i would like to hear your take on these players plz? thx

I feel like raising prices means less money. It would make more sence to lower prices to entice consumers into thinking that its just worth having even if it doesn’t see much use.

Also, great video.

Prime is worth having if you just buy a lot of stuff from Amazon Prime Video and Prime Music are really just a side benefit

Not sure I agree with the title as I still see a struggle for market dominance.

Here's an idea: maybe everyone shouldn't have a streaming service, but instead go back to earning revenue from licensing their content to two or three streaming services.

very underrated video and content creator

creative programming is a skill where and what to make how to place in which time zone what content.

notif bell turned on

Any of them to go? I feel there's only room for Disney, Netflix, & 3rd service (depends on which company is thriving)

That's a good thing. Was tired of paying for many different streaming services. I just have Amazon now, and they have been getting lots of things lately from WB and Sony.

Keep it up brother… you are about blew up on UKposts like lopper watch mojo, lemmino. One question do you ever thing by yourself self like voice graphics etc. I know your kinda experimenting right now. Anyways good luck. This is what UKposts content should look like.

WAIT WHAT THE HELL!?!?!? This only has 574 views? This really shows how well thumbnails work

Disney and Apple Tv+ were always going to raise their prices. They were priced too low from the get go to be realistic. They planned to raise their prices.

Good; now maybe we will see these companies release more of their content to the open Market, that being physical Media (DVD & Blu rays). I am a hard core movie buff and while I do subscribe to two services I still prefer to physically own my own copies of my favorite movies and tv series.

Is a 30-90 second ad break really a big deal. It's a fraction compared to the > 2.5 minute ad breaks on traditional broadcast television?

Perhaps they could stop removing shows and instead sell those shows they want to remove either in physical or digital forms. There are so many shows I’d love to rewatch that were streaming only that no longer accessible.

Why do u get so little views, real quality content. You still came up in my recommendations and gained a sub

Staggering release will do nothing to fix the hit and run problem but ensure that what would have been a 1mo sub becomes a delayed 1mo sub, or, at most, a 2mo sub. More diverse is another word for niche audience. You can definitely survive on servicing a small subset but there's no such thing as shrinking yourself back to profitablity.

I have seen the decline in quality of all the offerings on all the streaming services and am very close to cancelling all my subscriptions. Mediocracy reigns.

Hey There , Your content quality and presentation is more or equal to Wendover , Coldfusion , Vox etc keep going 🔥🔥🔥

Pluto tv, Tubi, the Library is awesome if you’re wanting to save money. And get ExpressVPN. So getting an internet carrier is frustrating.

These price increases are just pushing me back to getting media by other means..... The best solution would be the big streamers come together to create a package bundle but I dont see it happening. I'd even be ok with them only though a one year contract.

What do you mean and then Amazon prime? Amazon prime has been around way longer than Disney Plus. In fact I remember hearing about Amazon prime over a decade ago

While other company have some backup, Netflix only have streaming as of today (don't count the game service)

"Straight to Blu-Ray" and "DRM-FREE Digital purchase downloads" I recon will make some sort of comeback. It's a more stable monetary model and can still be profitable. Subscriptions streaming services ADD UP where you keep paying but will never own any content.

I am glad you didn’t meander through all of the home video revolution just to get to the point.

Wonder if this is the natural progression of companies over burrowing and now that interest rates are up ...cuts are needed to pay down debts.

Too many streaming services is diluting the customer base. When it was only Netflix and Amazon people generally had both. Almost everything was available on those 2 and pirating was almost dead. Now it's fragmented and piracy is back as people only want one or two shows on each service and aren't prepared to pay for half a dozen services. I imagine in a few years only Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ will survive.

7:51 yooo that’s a big W

Though Netflix having their own mobile games library but it would be fascinating if they have added in bundling like game streaming, music streaming, etc...

I refuse to pay for streaming because I'm a really slow watcher. But gosh it's a pain waiting for them to finally release the stuff I want on physical media so I can spend another year not getting around to it before I finally pop the disc in my machine... XD

Guys you know red box… yep probably not. Brooo I haven’t seen a red box in a long time it’s so good we need to start using it before it joins block buster!

Honestly this should have stayed with just one third party service and not 50000 apps

What is peacock?

I don't know where this is going but I hope it doesn't screw up my streaming content. I dropped cable TV years ago and now I stream everything. I DO NOT want to go back to cable.

DANG!
