Netflix buying Warner Bros

[SnoopRob]

Just wait for the Netflix-Disney-Apple-Amazon merger!

NADA Corporation: "All the shows, still nothing to watch."

The Amazon TV you purchased from Amazon, using your Amazon debit card linked to your Amazon bank account. At least your car manufacturer, home lender and energy provider will be Apple.

Yeah, the dream goal here is the Amazon Prime model of "That'll be $3.99" every single time you turn on your TV.

$3.99 every time you change the channel.

I'm sure the Trump admin performed a thorough analysis of the costs, benefits, and how it will serve the public interest/good before providing final approval and allowing the deal to proceed

To be fair, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice has been asleep for decades ... at least since the time of Reagan.

Funny you should say that...

Trump administration views Netflix and Warner Bros. deal with ‘heavy skepticism,’ senior official says

Clearly the streaming service's check to the Trump library hasn't cleared yet.

$3.99 every time you change the channel.

$3.99 at the top and bottom of every hour.

Netflix is the only one I pay for. I have Prime Video because I have a Prime subscription. There are shows on Apple. HBO Max, Disney + and Paramount + I would like to watch, but I am too cheap to pay for them and raslly don't have the time to watch everything I would like already.

Apple is currently the best in terms of original series IMO.

$3.99 every time you change the channel.

But you can watch all four primary providers concurrently in multi-vision for $9.99. Now that's a deal.

I wonder if Netflix will keep HBO Max as a separate service or just put their content on Netflix.

Or try to sell some/much of it off?

Maybe a Disney/Hulu-like bundle?

That's the AWS pricing model. Forgot to shut down that EC2 you don't use anymore a month ago? $30k pls

At least Disney has left the old 20th Century Fox catalog titles available for digital purchase and rental. I have my doubts Netflix will do even that with the WB library. They don't sell anything.

I’ll be slowly picking up titles over the next few months. Especially the older, more obscure catalog stuff released through the Archive Collection that will inevitably go OOP.

This is a crying shame for the Archive.

If Netflix were to make it all available online, would you care that it went out of print?

I would. I don’t want to have to keep a subscription. Just my preference. There’s no ownership there. Netflix is opposed to ownership.

Worse though will be the end of the restorations. WB’s collaboration with UCLA will end. Netflix will have zero interest in continuing it.
