These companies pay cbs millions to hide the f***ing champions league on a service 3% of Americans get

Sound business model

That's how business works, take something people want and charge them for it.

Ironically, that's also how piracy happens because not everyone will put up with that shit

I would hate Peyton a lot less if the Broncos didn't upset the Panthers in the Super Bowl.

I saw so many bandwagon Panthers fans completely turn their back on the team, not because they lost, but because they were racist assholes that just wanted to ride the high and shit all over Cam Newton when we lost

I remember this year

I was in line for the hockey game and someone just blurts out "He doesn't like Cam because he showboats too much"

sorry that celebrations are unethical now

anyone having an issue with Cam at that time affecting the sanctity of the game, smh

How much does your cable package cost your parents each month?

Having multiple disparate streaming services is market saturation, String.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

People who have espn+:

I have it with my Disney Plus bundle!

 

[John Price]

These nerds now have

- peacock to access they EPL and movies

- Paramount for the Champions league

- ESPN for La Liga

- Netflix for Cobra Kai and Squid Show

- Hulu to watch FX programming and Nathan For You and 24

- HBO Max to watch Girls and Game of Thrones

- Amazon Prime for reduced shipping and quality content like All Or Nothing

- Disney Plus for Mandalorian and Miracle

How can anyone justify paying up to 200 dollars for 8 different services?

 

[John Price]

"my cable bill is 200 dollars"

your cable bill is not 200 dollars

and even if it WAS it would still consolidate all them into one service instead of 8 separate entities

Video Streaming Market Is 'Approaching Saturation,' Study Finds

Basic economic thought indicates that the consumer is willing to put up with saturation up to a point ,which is the height of the consumer spending curve. After that point consumers will be less willing to accept the dominance of a brand in the marketplace.

You can see in this chart that many Americans are just abandoning streaming services as the market is saturated.

The trend has gone down since 2016.

That chart is the increase in spending, not total spending, so spending on streaming is still increasing. The chart doesn’t show what you say it does.

The analytics disagree with this assessment. You can see the amount of spending decrease over time since reaching its highest point.

Streaming services are too fragmented and I wish people wouldn't rush to sign up whatever new streaming service comes out.

Disney takes all their shit off Hulu and Netflix? Tell Disney to shove their streaming service up their ass.

NBC takes our precious The Office off Netflix? Well don't just sign up for Peacock and prove them exactly right for doing so

 

[John Price]

Analytically, based on the data-driven methodology, we can conclude that the consumer is less willing to use fiscal spending on more services.

this is how crap like discovery+ gets subs

 

[John Price]

We have 800 different f***ing streaming services. Real shock when people won't spend to watch every one in existence.

"Don't sign up for every streaming service every month. Watch what you want on a few specific services, then cancel them and sign up for different services next month."

That's too much effort, I'd rather just pirate stuff

Someone on Reddit saying they wouldn't watch Stephen A Smith commentate on a game.

Eh, I'd give it a shot

The streaming services don't make it easy with all their rights holding.

The rights holding and monopoly crap like "SEINFELD IS NETFLIX EXCLUSIVE" hurt the industry as a whole as you are forced to pay for Netflix (legally) to watch Seinfeld.

Things like this and the Champions League EXCLUSIVELY on Paramount or La Liga EXCLUSIVELY on ESPN+ are bad for competition and pretty much force you as the consumer to legally purchase the service to watch said content.

Not to mention for movies some content is on a service for a month and then taken off.

Just like in the video game industry, exclusives do not benefit the consumers at all

Are you unable to read or are you trolling? The chart is the “annual increase”. As long as it’s greater than 0 the market is growing. The rate of growth is slowing but that’s a different statement.

My favorite one is when people say EA has exclusive NHL rights

EA has never had exclusive chel rights, 2k just quit making games

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

wtf is Rexit

 

[John Price]

The rate of growth is slowing

Yes.

That's what I told you.

f***.

 

[John Price]

What economic theory says it's okay to saturate the market with 800 different streaming services forcing the consumer to purchase so and so service to watch their team? Explain that to me. Tell me why. Tell me why Jimmy.
