Peak Streaming?

As the great gods of YouTube rage have decided that this show is doomed to fail due to its platform, I thought this would be a good place to link to this piece in "The Guardian": https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/jun/27/streaming-tv-is-about-to-get-very-expensive-heres-why
The author echoes many of the thoughts of TMDb members about the increasing cost of streaming. I can't see "NBC Universe" making it to the UK as, like CBS, there is no brand recognition. Apple and Disney will presumably be global launches though. I still think the UK has it relatively good in terms of "needed subs" compared to the US as, until Apple and Disney launch, you really only "need" cable/satellite + Netflix + Amazon unless you're after Asian/specialist/adult content. That said, there's still no legal way to watch a lot of US shows in the UK.

No Romans swung both ways certainly if it would advance their careers

Yeah, I know I said I hate YouTube pieces, but this one is short and to the point (and not made by a ranty young man): https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=YmK7_e9vqBY
If you haven't got time/cba: Apparently film piracy dropped as Netflix took off, but is now back on the rise as there is no longer a "one stop shop".

well can't for the love of me understand why one would through the trouble of streaming illegally when a a subscription to Netflix cast around € 8 a month?Plus one also has the advantage that one is having a lot of various content at ones disposal at the touch of a button
