#2Hard to argue with any of the points offered in the article, but I wouldn't count Netflix out just yet. I agree it will be a long uphill battle, that may have to end with a hugely profitable Fortune 100 taking on Netflix's debt load.

#3Is Disney likely to have much beyond what Disney directly own on it's service?

#4These are $10/month subs which are akin to channel packages. Just because some will also sub to the Disney chan package doesn't mean they'll drop Netflix. Would surprise no one if the author were shorting Netflix.

#5This article has incredible annoying spacing (one sentence per paragraph). Is this meant to read like an unrolled Twitter thread?
Content wise: I recently cancelled my Netflix again because despite a flood of new shows, all feel incredibly generic and formulaic. I like shows across genres, from teenage romance to sitcom to thriller, and I am looking forward to watching e.g. Narcos new season when it hits, there are also great one-offs like Maniac.
I just don't believe in the strategy of flooding their platform with their own content at this volume. Or rather, the type of content. If I remember correctly, plots and artistic decisions are made by committee, and it just shows very hard how plots are made to be subtly educational, not offend, just a lowest common denominator of what the data says.
Not sure it works. After finding myself browsing through too many evenings in a row, I always cancel until something I know I want returns for a new season, then resubscribe for a month.

#6Eehh - who clings to a single provider? In my family we jump around among iTunes, HBO Nordic, Viaplay and Netflix. I assume we will add Disney+ as well. Where exactly is the disruption?

Even if not, disney owns a lot of content.

#8This argues that it's Netflix vs Disney and it's a zero-sum game. If you lump all TV dollars together it's Disney vs Netflix vs CBS vs HBO vs Cable etc... It's not so clear what the consumer will do. The wild card is still live sports. It's the one area that cable still has a strangle hold. Once sports is fully streaming what can cable offer?

Live sports on ESPN are available on Sling TV and YouTube TV in the United States.
