I was just about to post that, at least in a sense. I was going to say, it seems like the disagreement about streaming vs. traditional linear content delivery needs one specific thread about it, and that is it. The same arguments that are happening in several unrelated threads throughout this forum are repetitive and getting old IMHO. If a minority of people want to "argue online with strangers," as my wife puts it, why not to it all in one place?You guys need to get a room.
Except the threads are different subjects, this is the Hulu/Disney thread, makes no sense to put this content in the Traditional Providers Loss Thread.
They may start about different subjects, but they don't stay that way, which was my point. Nothing personal towards you or anyone else, but it does seem like the same argument in multiple threads breaks out with regularity.

Yeah, I posted that before here, along with Discovery+, HBOMAX (at the time) and of course Netflix now being profitable, does not matter to a couple of people posting here.WSJ News Exclusive | Inside Disney and Comcast’s Fight Over the Future of Hulu
The streaming service’s parent companies are in the final phase of a yearslong battle marked by legal threats, broken promises and secret arbitration.
A lot to unpack here, but this stood out to me:
"The service had about 48 million subscribers as of April and is one of the few streaming services to generate a profit in the past few years."
Sounds like it has been for a while but everyone at Disney and on the Street were just focused on Disney+ losing money.
I have the oculus, tried to use it, my Labs did not like me wearing it, I was on the couch, next thing I know they basically just jumped on me, course I could not see it coming, quite the surprise from two 90lbs dogs.
You would at least see them coming with the Apple headset as it is AR. You see your surroundings. Pretty cool tech TBH, but the price is high -- probably because it has a full computer integrated in.
Nah...I don't watch ESPN. I might go with the 2 bundle for $19.99. I'm waiting to see what happens with my annual plan for Disney+. Currently, it says it will renew in November for $79.99. If it goes up, I'll just do month to month as needed.
I have ESPN+ - not because I wanted the streaming, but because I was an "ESPN Insider" back in the day before Disney merged the two together. My previous bill was $79.95 for 2 years - so the last 2 year cycle of ESPN+ has been an incredible deal. This past month was the first time I am now being charged the standard ESPN+ rate of $99.99 a year. I have already have it set to cancel next year because the price is way out there. I am going to miss reading the exclusive articles, which is the reason I had ESPN Insider. I don't care about the streaming aspect, other than it was nice to watch NFL Primetime Sunday nights. I might do month to month for the 4ish months of NFL season if I want to continue to watch NFL Primetime.
