Based on the three articles, you can see how the future of streaming services and companies such as Netflix, Hulu or even Amazon Prime are taking over. Over the years you tend to see people canceling their cable and sticking to buying products like Apple TV’s or Fire Sticks to stream their favorite shows on their TV. Some newer generation televisions have these streaming apps available already installed. It’s just the new way of television. People want to be alone to watch what they want, when they want it. That’s the problem that Cable has. Nobody can just binge watch their favorite show if they wanted unless there is a marathon going on but you still don’t even get to choose what episodes you may want to watch at the moment.
The main problem that I have with these streaming services is that as time goes on, there will be more competition between one another and us, the audience will have to pay for more different services just to watch our favorite shows or movies. For example, Disney is now parting ways with Netflix so they can start their own serivces where people can watch ESPN, live sports, Disney shows and movies. Yes, that means you won’t be able to watch your favorite marvel movies or series on Netflix in the future. It’s kind of annoying in my opinion. It’s just like the music services with Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal. Everyone is trying to make their money but it kind of hurts the listeners because some companies give certain exclusives that won’t be available for people that use their competitors app. It’s a shame to see this happen with television and movies.
Everything nowaways moves very fast. Nobody likes to wait for anything. Now that we have the internet, we have a lot of information in our hands and the fact that we can get it in such an instant has us impatient with anything that’s set to come in the future. With the formula of letting the audience have control on what they watch, when they want to in genius in itself.
