WB Selling Assets to Paramount

[Eyerone]

The future definitely shaping up and looking more like Blade Runner and Alien’s Weyland-Yutani, with a handful Mega Corporations controlling everything in our lives.

Blade runner?


More like Idiocracy.

All these companies merging together as one is a major L for the consumers

Slowly but surely these companies will eat themselves and we'll just end up back in the old model anyway. They're simply becoming the new cable providers.

Glad Israel paramount didn't get it but at what cost lol.

I thought these fuckers ain't have no money

What would make you think that Netflix doesn’t have money?

The streaming structure is a fail and cutting the chord didn’t save anybody money unless they watch everything on bootleg sites

I feel like having it as an add on would just give Netflix the idea to have more add ons instead of just including it in the entire catalog

Niggas need to find a good iptv provider and ride it out. Me and @WilberDMillz been rocking with the same service for a few years now.

I know they have money, but if I'm remembering correctly I feel like one of reasons for recent price hikes was because the company claimed it wasn't making a profit...

Wild this company started out by sending dvd’s through the mail…. Now look at em

And all blockbuster had to do was buy them and everything changes

Even if they claim to not have made a profit that yr they made billions leading up to whatever slump they claim .

I know some ppl quit Netflix because the price went up and they been lacking with wack original movies , but Netflix is slang for fucking so they ain’t doing that bad

Yeah, Blockbuster probably would have eventually stepped back from physical copies, but they would be unstoppable

So much for a “little niche business”… whoever said that is a dumbass. How they couldn’t see the future of entertainment consumption is crazy… but that’s what happens when you’re blinded by your biggest revenue being late fees.

What’s funny is HBO already had HBO go and STARZ and showtime etc had streaming as long as you had the channel and watching on demand was already the same thing as streaming

We really wasn’t calling it streaming then though to watch a show on demand

I read that paramount was bidding for the ENTIRETY of wb/discovery and every single asset, Netflix was bidding solely for the studio and streaming service stuff. So Netflix will own WB studios and anything movie related and hbo max and their content.

I think that means anything else thats left that Netflix didn't buy the rights to is still up for grabs.

Well I hope his estate buys back the masters.

People really thought they were doing something.

You want entertainment and you will pay for it.
