Is this person unfamiliar with technology specs because their products are average devices but cost excessive for what you get?
It seriously sounds like they fell for the marketing.

Not sure what you mean, but iPads and iPhones are high end portable devices in a market in which Apple holds a dominant position.

> Netflix is not good at creating content. Why would you say that? These days, many of the most talked about and watched shows are Netflix content. Like for instance, Tiger King is the most talked about show in America right now, Netflix owned and produced. > Netflix is not a business entity I would long. It is absolutely a fad, and will lose negotiating power to distributors and content creators. This seems to be a…
I think a perhaps more accurate way of stating the position is that "Netflix is not good enough at creating enough good content [to make up for 1) existing back catalogs and 2) parallel activity from strong competition]. I don't think anyone could definitively state that Netflix content is subpar when it's at its best, but I also don't think anyone would suggest they'd be willing to give up the big studios and rely e…

As things start to fracture more and more, the big studios kind of find themselves in the same position. Disney+ probably has one of the strongest single-publisher back catalogs, and there's still a lot of talk about there being nothing to watch after you finish the few originals and whatever old thing you were interested in.

I get why some make the analogy with Grocery Stores and stocking their in-house brands (e.g. Safeway with Signature, Apple with iTunes), but with Apple, it's like the customer has already bought the grocery store and Apple is still charging rent on their shelves.
At least it looks like they're loosening the controls a bit with deals, but that's only for big overlapping partners like Amazon.
TLDR: Both are afraid of Netflix making channel subscriptions superfluous. It's an interesting read with lots of explanations.
I doubt the reason Disney really went into Disney+ was to enhance the Disney magic experience or whatever. Maybe if Walt were still alive. It seems more likely that Disney did the cost/benefit analysis and decided that Netflix subscriptions were not zero sum and that parents would definitely pay for another subscription for Frozen and other shows.

Brand new account, named “modsRapple”, with only this comment. Safe to ignore.
Be careful Thanatos, don't rely on tradition and authority figures. That's pre scientific method ways of thinking.

They own basically all consumers making six figure salaries. That is the high end customer base Ben is talking about.
