@@jmtradbr I've heard Amazon is doing everything it can to keep customers under the Prime subscription, so cancelling isn't gonna be easy in due time because of investors wanting profits.
I love it when inflation slows, AND THEY STILL RAISE PRICES! Remember folks, companies will increase the prices of their product/services if the consumer is ignorant enough to still buy in. Even if they’re being ripped off.
"People are pirating our content instead of paying our overpriced prices what do we do?' "Raise the prices even higher so the ones who are around make up for those we lost!" "But arent more people just gonna start pirating?" "Raise it even higher then" "What about when it gets so high nobody pays for it?" "Youre fired for thinking too much about the future, its all about that instant short term money here"
Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol. Leave it to the sea breeze, leave it to the waves On the other side of the tide, the setting sun also makes noise The song of birds spinning in the sky Goodbye, port, Tsumugi no Sato Let's sing with Don, the song of departure The gold waves and silver waves have also been replaced with spray Let's go, as far as the sea goes I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol. We are pirates, we will break the sea With the waves as my pillow, my bed is like a ship The sails and flags are kicked up by skulls A storm has come, in the thousand-mile sky The waves are dancing, the drums are beating If you are blown by the eructating wind, it will be the end. There will be no sunrise tomorrow Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol. An evening dream of today or tomorrow I can't see the shadow waving my hand anymore What should I worry about? Tomorrow will also be a moonlit night I'm going to deliver Binks' alcohol. Let's sing one song with Don, the song of the sea No matter who you are, someday it's true. Endless, aimless, funny story Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho Yohohoho yohohoho
it's always ironic to me how when Netflix first came out, pirating things dropped down significantly, but once more streaming services came in, pirating shot right back up again, it's a never ending cycle at this point
@@sometf2player752It's one of those things that everyone thinks everybody else forgot about, so they started saying "hey remember this?" Over and over, and now most people know what a blockbuster is, even if they didn't grow up with it.
I miss blockbuster. You could rent a movie, a game for your platform of choice, buy Pokemon cards, and get candy, popcorn, and a drink at checkout. If you were late on your return, the fee was like a few cents. We lost all that because people didn't want to go outside and couldn't be bothered with a couple quarters for being late.
@@Memelord1117 or someone who grew up with Blockbuster would decide to open their own. Imagine if they did, but it would just be a dream, where they had exclusive authentic classic consoles with select game cartridges and discs, of course they’d have to be rich enough to make these kinds of deals.
@@Memelord1117 imagine if there was a similar business started by someone who grew with Blockbuster. Not only would they have current movies, but also authentic classic consoles with select Cartridges and discs, the consoles are the only things you can buy and keep, there will also be games that were once Japan only such as Earthbound Beginnings or Kururin Squash translated into English.
@@LakkzScratch yeah, it’s more money than can realistically spend. At some point it just becomes a competition between rich people, always vying for a higher spot on Forbes.
At least Amazon Prime Video is still doing successful. Not only do they have “Hazbin Hotel”, but they also promote their stuff a lot better than how Netflix promotes their stuff (except for “Nimona”, that movie was marketed perfectly).
@@spaceboyctstudios2934 Amazon prime has incentives to remain subscribed. With the rest of them, you can just subscribe for a month, binge watch, and then cancel.
I think that’s partly because you get more than a streaming service with prime. There’s incentive not only to subscribe, but remains subscribed year round. With the rest of them you could just subscribe a month, watch watch what you want, and then leave.
I saw this coming from 50 nautical miles away and yet some very highly educated and powerful executives can't figure out that nothing is infinite, especially paying customers for an increasingly subpar services and products
The only thing Disney+ doesn’t own is Doctor Who, the BBC still owns it and Disney just partly funds them for producing the newer seasons, but the problem is they paid for exclusive rights to show it outside of the UK, to the point where the original UK broadcasts happen a day *after* Disney+ despite the UK not having Doctor Who on Disney+. They have to wait a day to get it live and on iPlayer, and it’s a part of the contract from what I can tell. I think it’s a pure money making strategy because why would they make that clause unless it was to make a crap ton of money on USA customers who can’t just look at the UK broadcast, even at the cost of the UK not being able to have their flagship multi million dollar show first run anymore, with risks of spoilers abound, no less Keep in mind: DOCTOR WHO IS BBCS FLAGSHIP SHOW. ITS THEIR MASCOT AT THIS POINT. IT CONSTANTLY BREAKS VIEWERSHIP RECORDS AND IS AS MUCH A PART OF BRITISH CULTURE AS BIG BEN. if I wasn’t so hell-bent on supporting me actors and producers of the show, I’d totally do a yo-ho right now
This is how competition in these exclusive markets actually turns out. Competing companies don't race to the bottom by lowering prices or offering a better product, that immediately cuts into profits and investors don't like that. They just wait for one to raise prices or cut product quality so that the rest can join in quickly afterwards. Enshittification is real because it's profitable.
I fixed the problem for myself by unsubbing to all streaming services and then finding _totally legal and in no way shady_ ways of getting digital copies of whatever media I want to consume. :)
This is how business works. It’s not new with streaming services, when the iPhone launched it was super cheap and many company’s gave it for free with a bundle. Then Apple raised the prices, internet company’s got worse, and they released iPhones twice as often. Heck even horses started as an animal you would catch in the wild then people started selling them.
I honestly have no idea why Disney Plus isn't profitable at $1 a month. Step 1. Locate every digital file of everything Disney owns and digitize that which isn't digitized yet. Step 2: encode all video files to be optimized for streaming Step 3: put all digital files on a server Step 4: deliver those video files to subscribers using the UI that has been developed and optimized for over a decade Step 5: leave alone and let the money pour in, only occasionally adding stuff that was already made for theaters and television. Really, it's that simple. The reason Netflix made originals is because they would lose the license to movies and tv shows from 3rd party studios, Disney owns millions of hours of programming outright that people have been buying individually for decades, there's literally no reason for them to spend millions of dollars making new stuff.
We also can't forget about how if you sign up for even a free-trail in Disney+, you can't sue disney, which caused a problem with the woman who died from a peanut allergy at one of disney's restaurants, which I guess apparently now you cannot even eat at disney if you are signed up for Disney+
the main issues with spotify releases dissapearing is that publishing a track is linked to the lifeline of the curator. if i where to release using soundcloud for artists (wich is a music distributor) my music would be removed if i stopped my subscription OR they stopped doing buisness. this is actually a huge issue in the music community because some publishers use that fact to lock you in their shitty subscription and raising prices. but if you opt out your music is just deleted (yes you can get your IRSC and rebublish it somewhere else and it would keep all the metadata... but this isn't fixing the larger scale problem isn't it?
If there was a black market site that just gives all the stuff Disney and Netflix has, I might just private the stuff. These people don't deserve people's money.
@@ADOnTheController-c3j i don't need to browser the 7 seas to search something, and the app is on tv, just choose and play. especially for my mom that don't understand these things is good. it was my way to remove her from netflix. the name is my family cinema
Every single industry seems to be getting worse. Just about everything you can thing of. Cars, grocery stores, infrastructure, appliances, streaming, music, etc Everything gets worse.
2:10 Last I checked I think they partnered with Hulu or something because there’s a whole lot more than Disney. There’s a *Lot* of Anime, TV Shows, etc. It’s almost surprising.
2:00 @spatnz the reason disney keeps raising their prices is because they need to make $300 mil+ for a movie that won’t even earn 1/3 of that money back
I feel like with people getting tired of streaming services and the internet literally falling apart. I wouldn't be surprised if physical media starts to rise up again. Why pay for cable or streaming when you could just by your favorite media and a dvd player. One time purchase, last for a lifetime. Let's be honest, guys... we're not the brightest for letting this go on for so long.
Well your half right. Its mainly because google censored piracy site results. If these companies dont want to fix the economy then dont block the piracy sites its never going to solve anything. It ruins free speech.
I prefer physical media, at certain libraries, you can check out movies for free, there's an option for us who prefer to keep costs down but you have to wait for the movie you ordered to arrive if you specifically order a movie online at the library but borrow movie and show discs from the library.
I miss video rental stores. There was no option paralysis and it made movie night an event, picking out a movie, getting some snacks, the employee that clearly hated their life, it was part of the experience :(
Its what I keep telling folks when it comes to these awful subscription services, "If they're so bad and don't provide the same amount of content that you're paying for then stop paying for it and become a pirate instead"
Why have you stopped using the little shy guy in your videos? I know you used it for a second in one of your recent videos (you've been uploading quite a lot these past few months, which is quiet impressive), but I still wonder why you don't use it as often anymore? Is it because that when you make a lot of videos in a short time, you don't have enough time to put a lot of editing into them? (I'm nit asking rudely, i'm just wondering)
Because they need to make investors happy and to do that they need to make more profit so that they get more money from the stocks and they keep doing this until they correct and everything goes down dramatically like most companies that reach market saturation
@@thebrokenpuppet2714 wrong but how they do it now it is, they need to have a 20% or so smaller catalog in order for it to be profitable and add tiers to get some content from their side with an add version for cheaper and maybe some other ideas such as early access to a show or movie would also be nice
And people wonder why Tubi has actually gained some traction. I’m actually willing to sit through some ads as long as the experience is free and there is a decent selection of films to choose from. Disney desperately rushing out half baked original series is only going to sustain the service in the short term and damage the viability of their brands longterm since now most will associate it with mediocre products. Studios opened the can of worms to try and replace the home media sector of profits to never think about how people only used streaming for connivence. Having too many services with far less for more money won’t entice people to subscribe, it will make them more willing to pirate or find alternative free options.
Wealth, fame, power. Gold Roger, the King of the Pirates, attained everything this world has to offer. And so, many men head for the Grand Line to find the great treasure he left behind, the One Piece. The world has truly entered a Great Pirate Era!
Another type of streaming/subscription service that has been backstabbing its own costumers are the music apps. Why did they have to take away the ability to listen to individual songs in my Playlist, force shuffle for everything, and insert adds, at the same time?
