Disney to pull movies from Netflix, plans launch of ESPN, Disney streaming (reuters.com)

Gah how fractured is the streaming market going to get? Netflix is really declining in good content.


Streaming is moving from what Netflix was years ago, to a model where the distributor is the producer. The distribution part is comparatively easy, especially for a firm like Disney that already owns and runs content distribution outlets.


A diversified market for every distributor another platform isn't going to work. I recon people are not willing to take more than 3/5 subscriptions for watching their movies / series. And what if you want to watch that single movie, you need to go and buy that one, or do they offer a platform where you can rent / stream that one movie?


I don't really know, iTunes maybe?
