From day one, Disney+ will have better content than Netflix, all of which is vertically integrated. And there is a reason why... -- (edited)

Posted by David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero (aka David) Apr 12 '19, 08:26

Most of the best shows on Netflix were Disney properties.

Disney is the main reason why people even know what Netflix is. They had the Starz contract that came with Disney content. It sold the service.

History will repeat itself because Disney is the best content creator on the planet. And it’s not very close.

Don’t miss the obvious, folks.

Here's the thing for me though(which I've said before): It's too much spread to too many places. Disney's going to have new Marvel TV series? Great - pmb Apr 12, 09:35 4
- we're in the proliferation stage right now where everyone's trying to fight out their ground. Consolidation comes later - Reagen Apr 12, 09:44 3
  - In the end, it's going to be Comcast, Disney, and *maybe* one or two others as the primaries. - David Apr 12, 10:01 2
    - I picture a BOP or ST channel to have programming along the lines of the channels that the characters in the Ready Player One novel had -- nm - JD Apr 12, 10:04 1
      - Exactly! -- nm - David Apr 12, 10:05
meh. Realistically, I own most of the Disney/Marvel content I want to watch. I never watched it on Netflix for the most part. Also unless it comes - oblique Apr 12, 09:26 2
- When Disney has the buzz of having a must-watch series, you'll watch it. - David Apr 12, 09:58 1
  - CBS hasn't hooked me yet despite some of their shows being interesting to me. There's more than enough TV for me to watch already. I'm good -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 10:13
If Netflix becomes niche, my watching habits indicates I'll happily go with them. I spend most of time watching their 'originals' - JD Apr 12, 08:40 8
- It’s actually pretty rare for us to make it past the pilot of Netflix shows. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:48 7
  - They take more shots and have more misses. But Ozark, Narcos, Haunting of Hill House, etc. are some of the best stuff I've watched recently. Amazon - oblique Apr 12, 09:29
  - I think I'm having better luck as the stuff I like is acquired (hence 'Originals') - JD Apr 12, 09:00 4
    - Black Mirror was an acquisition, and then became an original from the 3rd season on as Channel 4 couldn't match the Netflix money. -- nm - LMS UCO in OCG Apr 12, 09:30 1
      - *nod* and Aggretsuko was a series of shorts before Netflix paid for a series. - JD Apr 12, 10:00
    - Kim loooves Aggretsuko. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 09:06
    - Oh yeah - The Originals was the show we found on Netflix that really got us binging older shows. nm -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 09:01
  - I usually let you fuckers try these things out first, before I waste time on it. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 08:56
Yeah, I have been thinking about it and for the library alone, this is the first one I feel compelled to subscribe to. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 12, 08:32
so you are saying to short Netflix stock? -- nm - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:27 13
- Unrelated to Disney, I do wonder about Netflix as Blockbuster in 10 years. They’ve lost so much great content over the past five years. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:30 11
  - I just looked. We have about 680 titles in our queue. Only 173 are available now. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:37 9
    - I don't even have a queue. I just watch seasons of tv from my "continue watching" list. -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:46 7
      - Yep. But, I admit, Carrie and I are in a different place then say, David and Kim. We don't watch a lot of TV. nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 08:49 6
        
        The average Netflix user watches 50 minutes of content daily. We are actually below that most months. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 08:59 5
        
        with the Marvel shows going bye bye, my Netflix use to probably drop 75%. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 09:00 4
        
        Since Umbrella Academy ended, we have only used it for Total Drama reruns. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Apr 12, 09:01 3
        
        I need to binge Santa Clarita soon. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 09:02 1
        
        I do too. I played the trailer for Carrie the other day - she's not interested, so I'll have to watch that one on my own. -- nm - John Murphy Apr 12, 09:03
        
        ewwww -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 09:01
    - Yikes - its worse than I thought. -- nm - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:43
  - Time will tell. They are becoming less Netflix and more HBO - we already have that - give us a library! - Lady Pippy of the Stormlands Apr 12, 08:37
- I would imagine the Disney+ expected impact would already be baked into their price, but wouldn't know for certain -- nm - Beakor Clegane Apr 12, 08:28
