I must be thte only one who like Paramount+ Honestly would rather have the Warner Bros content over there than on Netflix.

I want Netflix to lose. After living with their binge release schedule for however long now I think we're all worse off for it. So I want less of the industry to use it.
You are not forced to buy their product, or to buy into their schedule.
> [Paramount say Netflix deal] would lead to “a challenging regulatory approval process.” "Only we have sufficiently greased the current government to get this deal done"
Trump dislikes Paramount, thought? https://deadline.com/2025/12/trump-paramount-60-minutes-davi...
Does WB have to pay the breakup fee to Netflix if a Paramount hostile takeover succeeds?
Sounds like Paramount bosses are bidding in anger.

Once Netflix buys all of these companies, you won't ever be able to watch a WB movie without a $25 netflix sub per month. (and yeah, when they are done buying all the competition that's what the monthly will be.
That's kind of a silly argument. "People are better off paying $100+/month for 4+ streaming services than $25/month for one that has everything."
If your argument were that you'd have to pay more than the current combined cost, it'd be a better argument against mergers. Arguing against something because it's a better deal is just strange.
It seems the main thrust of the pitch is "we're friends with Trump therefore more likely to win approval" which is so deeply gross but also probably persuasive to many. Jared Kushner is involved in the Paramount bid so you know they're greasing the right wheels.

For a large enough "donation" the current administration will approve any merger.

They tilt like everyone else - maybe the chaos and mayhem behind the last few years of this industry mean the old guard is finally failing, and we'll see meaningful copyright reform and sanity in our lifetime.
Are you betting on the content conglomerate bidding tens of billions, or the nepo baby LBO shop wearing the corpse of a movie studio as a salmon hat to spur copyright reform?
