Yes, both Netflix and Spotify are in a tough position where their rivals (Apple and Amazon) have a much larger war chest to chip away at the market leaders of both movies and music streaming.

Is it just me, or is there no way this could possibly be worth it? Hacker News and Reddit already combine stories from newspapers and websites, and they do it for free. I have a hard time believing that a managed source selected from a few business partners could possibly be as valuable as a crowd-driven scan across the entire internet.

#5Brilliant and the only thing left, short of another iPhone reinvention miracle (not likely for a while.) Many of us have 10 year old PCs that do 100% of the things we need, smartphones are going that way too. So milk the ecosystem.

No you should short the companies that can't hack it in a DTC world. Netflix isn't a good a target for that. Both Netflix and Apple's service will grow for a long time to come.

Hacker News and Reddit don't license content from the WSJ, which is why every story has some guy in the comments with a link to outline.com that pirates the article.

IIRC It includes access to paywalled articles, at a substantial discount to buying a subscription to each paywall separately.

But for how long? More and more people are blocking ads and more and more sites are putting up paywalls.

#10> The company would collect these monthly fees, then divide up the revenue between developers based on how much time users spend playing their games
Sounds terrible for short indie games and good for long grindy games.
That's not a future I want for my gaming. Not that I am an apple customer in the first place but hopefully this won't affect what is delivered on the other platforms.
