This video totally missed what is killing Disney and all the other content creators: horrible shows! We hate the SJW/ANTIFA/BLM movies and shows. They are horrible. Worse, these shows are very racist especially towards white males! This is causing all systems to crash and burn due to attacking the customer base. This is destroying gigantic corporations like Budweiser Beer, for example. We are boycotting these businesses and Disney hates normal men with a hot passion so...normal men no longer want any Disney anywhere near themselves.
Hm... nice video. But it fails to actually say, specifically, why Disney+ won't exist anymore in 2 years (as the video title claims). Unless I missed something...
So Disney+ is struggling despite having these amazing big franchises like Star Wars and Marvel... well, it's doing everything it can to drive those into the ground.
Sadly it's not only Disney. Warner is driving DC into the ground too. Both studios need to jump off the woke bandwagon and give us well written entertainment. The fans deserve better.
@@elcarajo66actually DC has been pretty good lately....Harley Quinn; Superman and Lois; Peacemaker; Zack Snyder's Justice League; The Batman; Joker etc were all fantastic....Now compare that to the the likes of Antman 3; Thor 4 and She-Hulk?😂
@@elcarajo66lmao are yall almost done with "woke?" It's become a meaningless term because of dbags like you using it for everything you don't like. Disney stuff sucks but because it's studio-driven, not whatever you think "woke" means
@JamieGAdaire agreed....Marvel has been living off of Infinity Saga hype for years....Since Endgame, DC has been consistently producing better entertainment over the last few years yet everybody is still so addicted to Disney/Marvel....For example, compare Harley Quinn to She-Hulk....Or Ant-Man 3 to Black Adam....Or The Batman with Thor 4 etc etc....
I feel like Disney+ COULD'VE been a good idea, had it not artificially bulked up their catalogue. I remembered back in the day when Disney+ was in talks that one of their "selling points" was that their entire library of content, shows, classic cartoons and such, would no longer be "in the vault" as they put it. As someone who enjoys more vintage and obscure content from Disney I saw that as intriguing. Fast forward to now and the service still doesn't have their entire batch of silly symphonies, or classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. It's not like they don't have them digitized, because there used to be a dvd collection called "Walt Disney treasures" that did ended up collecting all the silly symphony cartoons. I don't want to watch "remade classics" of old Disney properties, I want to see the ACTUAL classics. Properly preserved and available for anyone to watch. Sorry for ranting, this just has been on my mind for a while...
Stuff like this is why other streaming services like Crunchyroll, Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock and Amazon Prime have been doing well. Because they’ve cheapened the price to either 9.99 or 4.99 per buck.
Can you see the classic on a legal way anywhere? If not this is another reason for a law that enforces "owners" of classical IPs to either provide their content on their platform or license it!
Same as announcing franchises to join the ranks in streaming, for them to not release it in my country. I subscribed for a certain show,, still not available… liars, at Disney
Agreed! We just cancelled our Disney+ subscription because we found all of our old VHSs and machine that work like a charm. My only reason for joining the streaming service was to watch obscure vault content. Instead it got overstuffed with cheap shows of IPs I don’t particularly care about. It’s a shame what they’ve done to their reputation and legacy with streaming.
Disney + is the reason nobody goes to the theatre to see Disney movies as much. Disney has trained their audience to know that if they skip the theatre and wait a few weeks, the movie will be there for free. They killed their own theatrical.
@@anastasiassecret3837 Avatar is a little different because the theatrical experience is much more enhanced than the streamer version. It's more of an event than a movie. Guardians of the Galaxy did buck the trend though, and made very solid box office
Disney has many problems, but, even though it doesn't have streaming, I've noticed a similar trend appearing with Dreamworks movies, with Puss in Boots the Last Wish and Super Mario Brothers coming out on DVD just about as soon as their theatrical runs ended. If they're not careful, that could end up having the same effect and causing people to just wait till it comes out on DVD, and hurt their theatrical budgets.
It's the Netflix problem described by Captain Midnight - It would be better for Netflix to do fewer shows and actually have complete series. Or else create more episodic series where Episodes stand alone. As it is, they're filling their back catalogue with incomplete series that nobody wants to watch. Who wants to watch something that doesn't get finished. I have fanfiction for that!
@@-Teague- Nah, these writers would still be terrible if they made millions a year. Film industry proves that out. Even so, it doesn't matter. Audiences no longer watch series (or movies) to be wowed by writing talent which is why a piece of mediocre junk like The Bear was the most acclaimed show last year. It's also why only the most terminally-online Redditors like you care about the WGA strike; even then it's not because you want to enjoy good writing. You just need to virtue signal as badly as you need to breathe. Normal people are too busy living their lives and dealing with actual problems to care about creatives or what they're being paid to do their fake jobs.
The biggest example is the mandalorian season 1 vs season 3 The first season was THE reason to get Disney plus to watch this high budget, well crafted story in the star wars universe in which every episode looked like a movie. Season 3 had much lower ratings, you could tell the budget was lower and production value had fallen overall. With episodes that had camera angles and lighting similar to a snl sketch.
I've said it before - the studios didn't learn why people walked away from cable and went to Netflix and are repeating the same mistakes. No one wants to pay for 10 different services to see their content, they want them at 1 place which is why Netflix was popular. Had the studios made better deals and we had just Netflix and Prime, they would all be making money because A) people would all be loyal and stick with it and B) there wouldn't be as much bad content since right now the services want quantity over quality. What I wonder is what's going to happen to smaller free services like Pluto tv, etc - are we going to see them start going under as studios yank content from them like they did with Netflix? Why would Paramount CBS license Star Trek and Twilight Zone to Pluto and then compete against them for customers when they can keep that content for their own service? I think that is something that we could also see. Streaming isn't going away but it will look very different in just a couple years, nevermind in 5 years.
@@KaosNova2 yeah but cut out the middle man and make more for yourself. Look at theatres, they are pushing streaming over theatrical releases because streaming might bring less but then they don't have to share.
Exactly. Whenever these studios licensed their IPs to streaming services they made so much bank. Now they are reaping the consequences of having their own streaming service
Instead of "sharing" one free market under fair competition they act like feudal landlords and divide the land of free customers among themselves! Effing greed! They do not opt out for quality, creativity or cultivate anything. It is not even good for capitalism! They want to cut out the middlemen by becoming their own provider, but have instead implemented several middlemen for the customer to subscribe to! But I think artists should organize themselves in more independent and collaborating networks and should seek out non-exclusive deals! Maybe it is time for some legal regulations so that the relation between actual producers (writers, actors etc.) and the customer can flourish again without all those counterproductive bets along the way.
Amazing how originally all they were concerned about was piracy, then Netflix showed up and it was all about wanting to be Netflix, and now we're back to piracy being the more appealing option again. Good job guys.
Well it is just one fool leading other fools around by the nose. When one fool fails, another fool steps in to lead...and on and on it goes. This is where greed always leads.
I haven't pirated anything in years, but the way all this streaming crap is going, it might be time for me to get the eyepatch and peg leg out again... yeah that joke was dead on arrival
@@AceLM92 make a Plex server on your PC and you can stream from your PC to pretty much anything. I think you have to pay like $5 to be able to stream outside your home network, but it's a one time fee and totally worth it.
I hate how ads have taken over every form of media, to the point where companies can't even really make a profit without them. Its just a stain that will never go away.
I honestly miss when it was just Netflix and amazon. Simple and affordable and had almost all the shows and movies in one place. Its a mess now with all the new straming services.
I miss when UA-cam had no ads, and you could find anything on here as long as you were cool with watching it in 13min intervals and had decent internet.
@@lindsaywilhelm8217 UA-cam has always had ads.. It launched in 2005, but it started ads on videos since 2006. It always had banner ads. They couldn't possibly pay for server costs if they never had ads. I think you're mistaking ads with when content creators were able to start monetizing videos and make money off them. That's when ads started appearing more aggressively, similar to Cable TV. That said, UA-cam Premium is relatively worth it. Alternatively, UA-cam isn't aggressive against adblock browser extensions. So, if you install any basic adblock, it'll block the ads on UA-cam.
I'm so done with everything associated with Disney. Their endless poor-quality cash-grabs and mismanagement of once-respected franchises, as well as an overall lack of audience-pleasing entertainment, has locked my wallet for anything they will produce. They had a good run, but they lost their way.
Disney+ is probably just a stupid idea. Without it, Disney could license out their movies and shows to multiple streaming services like HBO, Netflix, cable TV etc., and reach a much wider audience and make more money. But when they put their shows on their own streaming services, it not only limits the audience much more, but also leads some people to not go watch the movie in a theatre anymore, because they know that it will release on Disney+ later anyway. Maybe, just maybe, for a big content company like Disney, an exclusive streaming platform is just a fundamentally bad idea.
Yeah my best friend is a theater junkie and goes to see movies once a week and she still won’t see anything marvel or Disney because she knows they’ll be on Disney + eventually. Instead, she’ll go watch movies that she knows will be hard, if not impossible to see on a streaming platform.
If the Disney Channel could never be a network, Disney+ could never be a streaming giant. It didn't help that they got Woke. (And subsequently Went Broke.)
@@robertewalt7789 Yes, consumers were never going to be able to support more than a couple of streamers, and a jumped-up (and Woke) Disney Channel was never going to be one of them.
Basically how things were with Netflix during the 2010s. Licensed content of big corps on one or few services was nice. Before they pulled out everything.
I cancelled Disney+ last week when they raised their price. None of the individual streaming services are worth more than $10 per month. I'd gladly pay $50 per month for old Netflix where everything was in one place with a decent UX. I'm not going to pay $20 per month for multiple services. The only reason I still have Prime and Netflix is because they're both free with other products I need. I've started going back to buying Blu-Rays and building my own library of physical copies. Streaming is simply renting content that can and will disappear at the corporate whims. Add in that companies are editing their films to be more modern means DVD/Blu-Ray is the only way to ensure you keep films/TV as they were originally envisioned. The streaming wars are over, and consumers are the ones losing the most. I work in film and television. I'm a huge movie buff. I hate the modern streaming business models. I miss old school Netflix.
For those that remember Cable TV did the exact same thing. It started off as being an ad free service. Then they split off various channels to premium levels, added the ads back and so on. Streaming never worked tbh, but it worked best when it was a distributor, not a producer of content with old Netflix. Being able to find every thing on one service worked, having to shop around removes the convenience and savings to the point you might as well not pay for a streaming service. You either go back to cable, go without or just find free content online to enjoy like youtube.
Tencent wetv, iqiyi and youku wants to talk to you 😅 I subscribe to that 3 streaming platform. I'm happy to pay because they don't have woke and identity politics Bullshit. You know what even crazy, people can actually watch their content for free. The vip member get to watch more episode release earlier than public. And after the show its done it will be lock for vip only. It means they release show that the viewer wants and appreciateciated it to the point they buy vip to watch extra episode. Look at Netflix. N disney. keep putting up woke bullshit. I'm at the point watching Netflix for other shows that Netflix rent to put up on their library not their original content. Not because saturated but because the quality that they put out is just pure trash.
I realized long ago that I don't need all of these shows in my life. I just don't care about any of it. I just sit back and enjoy the various dumpster fires at nighttime. The distant glowing fires are soothing as the big companies lie to everyone and battle it out!😂.
It's failing because Disney keeps putting a bunch of uninteresting bs on their streaming service instead of putting what Disney fans would actually want. Remember Disney shows like Aladdin the series, The Legend of Tarzan, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, or House of Mouse? Well Disney sure doesn't because they're not on Disney +. Disney has so many shows that they've already produced years ago, and it would cost them nothing to put them on Disney+, but instead, they're wasting money producing shows that no one asked for.
The whole reason I was initially excited about Disney+ was because of their back catalog. Who knew they would mostly rely on unproven material without having much of the older stuff as a cushion? The heads of Disney really dropped the ball with having most of their older material in the vaults.
Let's not pretend that these shows "would cost nothing". Imagine they added every old show they have and let's just pretend it's everything in 720p, no full hd or 4k, just regular HD. They now have the costs of 40 years+ of tv shows/movies, literally TBs or even Petabytes of content spread in datacenters across the world to make the content properly available for every user with none of this content being viral, no one will jump to subscribe just to watch some old disney show that no one is talking about and advertising it is surely not worth it. This is the reason streaming services "waste" money on shows "no one asked for". Because these shows can go viral, these shows have the possibility of turning into a tiktok trend and bring in millions of new users to the platform. None of this will happen with old shows. Another thing, every show that exists now, wasn't "asked for" before. StarWars? Crazy, it was revolutionary, no one asked for. Any of the shows you mentioned? No one asked for them to be created but you are now asking for them to be available. Why should disney or any other streaming service stop creating new shows just because they already have old ones? Your view on the streaming issue is so simplistic and is clear you don't have a clue of what you are talking about.
For those of us who remember back when cable tv first became a thing it was offered on the idea that you would pay for channels and get rid of ads for that monthly fee. Over time the ads began to creep back in, first it was just a block of ads between episodes or movies, then it eventually became during the show or movie until it was indistinguishable from regular TV broadcasts. To think that online streaming wouldn't follow the same path already pioneered and proven that it works by the cable companies is just a disconnect of people who don't remember history.
The worst were the arguments where you'd complain about the ads and the other guy would say you're complaining about free TV. Strange, I don't remember "free" TV costing so much. Somehow the cable industry convinced a lot of us that we just paid for a hookup and that the content itself was separate.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 I think you're thinking of Broadcast. i.e. the Channels you could get with your 'bunny ears'. Of course, part of it was that Broadcast can only support so many channels due to the finite nature of the EM spectrum. Cable allowed more 'freemium' channels to be packaged as a standard part of the basic cable plan. The problem was that most of those channels kinda sucked. A common issue was a thing called 'network decay' where over time Channels dedicated to certain genres would slowly degrade into a sort of 'generic male interest' or 'generic female interest' channel. A good example is the History Channel starting with history and then gradually devolving into Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, and Pawn Stars . . .
@@BustermachineHistory Channel…such a missed opportunity for the teaching community. Imagine if it was programming that actually synchronized with the curricula of elementary and middle school. That, instead of being supported by advertising, was supported by a national education fund. Like PBS, but not today’s PBS. The PBS of 50 years ago.
CNN, MTV and ESPN had commercials from day 1, which I never accepted as I simply refuse to sit through commercials on something I’m paying for. Nickelodeon was commercial-free its first year or so.
I have an idea that would fix the entire problem. Cooperation. If the various companies licensed out their properties to each other there would be more incentive for people to stop hopping between services and keep one or two. Disney+ gets fewer subscribers but they get licensing money from Netflix, then Netflix gets more subscribers. Or vice versa. They keep their new show/movie on their own platform for 6 months to incentivize die hard fans. But after that they let others buy the rights to stream it also. It also incentivizes the actual service itself to be better. New features like director's commentary tracks, deleted scene cuts, blooper reels, customizable subtitle fonts, better episode select menus, making playlists out of different TV shows, all sorts of fun ideas.
How come no one on Disney had this thought? It should be so simple to make an attractive streaming service when you have such a deep archive of beloved shows and movies like they do.
Blaming the streaming industry for Disney’s problems is the biggest cop out I have ever heard. Plain and simple, they put out a crap product and the public isn’t buying.
Good thing I live in Australia were hulu and Disney+ are combined and no ads and all the spiderman movies except for across the spider verse and no way home
I've never agreed with monopolies but in this case things were better with just Netflix leading the way. As soon as the market got fragmented by the distributors taking on their own services we got less value and choice for more money overall.
@@Spanky8402HBO into Prime would be pretty good. We’d just have to make sure that such a move didn’t endanger any of the existing content that is already on HBO Max and any continuing projects are able to stay in production. Not least their animated works which are freaking brilliant. Although what they did to Pantheon after that was released, was very dirty indeed.😡 #Pantheon
@@weird-guyDisney has to buy Hulu as per the Comcast deal. The problem for Disney is that they don't have the cash to make that purchase. Going to be interesting how this plays out.
I agree but Netflix is doing a lot of shady stuff right now too and implemented the password share thing in a awful way. They deserve all the backlash and revenue loss currently, but maybe one day they’ll bring it back, though doubtfully
We already have perfect example where video entertainment should be by know... Spotify. Once I had affordable place to listen almost anything, I don't need to download illegally, I just want to pay monthly until I die. Problem with video streaming has been restrictive licences from the start. I don't care if doctor who is on bbc or disney I just want to watch it and I need it now. also I can't afford to buy every streaming service, I'd rather pay 50c for every movie I watch eventhough it might be more expensive in the end.
The whole company is in free-fall, I think they’re beginning to wake up to the fact that there is no money in streaming. The worst part is that they’ve bet the farm in streaming at the expense of severing physical media sales like blu-Ray and dvd and also lack of merchandise.
People loved streaming services and youtube because they were free of intrusive advertising. You can just enjoy the content and move on. And now, we are right back to the TV cable model with the same fragmented channels.
I really hate how they've been trying to become a monopoly on entertainment. I mean, they already had Pixar, then they got Marvel and it became absurdly successful. Was that enough? No, they bought Lucasfilm and milked the shit out of Star Wars. Of course it worked, so what did they do with their truckloads of money? They just fucking bought 21st Century Fox. It's ridiculous, who can even compete against that?
All Disney had to do was to open the vault and put up content that made them successful in the first place like all The Wonderful World of Disney movies/specials with Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse Club, etc….Hell, they could’ve even released Song of the South with a disclaimer. Instead they spent tons of money on new lame ass movies and shows that no asked for or wanted.
Once bearded princess made the news we canceled everything Disney. Their content is no longer what Walt Disney imagined. Re-imagine a world without customers.
As son as any service introduces mandatory ads of any kind I am gone! I’ll start downloading again. Currently I am paying for prime, disney+, netflix, hbo max and some smaller and local channels. Their only appeal is the lack of ads!
One thing you forgot to mention is that Disney+ is also removing their own original shows because of residual fees. There could be a world where Netflix removes its beloved originals from their platform to cut costs too.
These big companies are forgetting the world has far less money than they used to due to rising cost of living etc. I had to cancel many of my subscriptions just so I could afford food.
Best part about Disney+ Basic? The OG Disney Channel on cable was completely ad free, and included in almost all non-basic cable packages (local channels only type packages)
Believe it or not, there was a time when you actually had to pay extra JUST to get the Disney Channel. I remember being a kid and being excited whenever Disney did their "generous" free month where all cable networks would get to watch the channel without paying for a short time, mostly interrupted with ads telling you to give them money if you actually want to watch the channel for real.
I think one of the biggest reasons for the downfall of streaming services is that so many people just pirate stuff now because they don't want to have to subscribe to 7, different services annually to watch 7 shows they like when they could very easily pirate all seven for free.
I still subscribe to Netflix cause I like a lot of their shows and the app works great everywhere. Also, it's not their fault everybody and their mother decided to launch their own streaming service. Also also, the fact that streaming is the only service they provide is a nice for me personally as I don't like feeding the monsters that are Amazon, Apple and Disney.
yeah, often piracy sites don't randomly take down content because of licensing issues (because they don't give a shit about licensing lmao), don't have excessive in-video ads and you can just download whatever you want and actually keep it. not to mention the whole thing with not having to subscribe to 7 different services. piracy just seems like a way better deal than having to pay possibly hundreds for premium streaming per month. the only thing you'd probably need to pay for is a VPN and you're all good (totally not advocating for piracy wink wink).
Especially with the writer’s strike going on right now, it’s going to halt even more projects. Apple TV+ recently cancelled their metropolitan tv series as well.
The writer's strike has been on going since television media created red-tape policies from its inception. This isn't the first or last time the creative teams, costume teams, filmmaker teams or others will go on strike. The problem with Disney and its subsidiaries is/are they hire way too many people, give them ideas, them the creative team comes up with an excellent idea. Then the stupid censorship law comes in and edits everything out, taking away the essence and soul of the project. It leaves the creatives without much control and then they feel cheated out of the job and then add in low pay, few perks, some are part time or via-contract (per X amount of months) and they feel like they aren't given enough money or creative power to make something unique for the mass public. This applies almost to every other filming industry, but I haven't done research on the others yet.
Thank you for bringing us the facts on the table. I am an independent film maker since 2000 and I've seen the birth of DVD to Streaming and I still believe people wants to own their movies. Some digital and some to put on the shelves. I get so frustrated when a movie I've downloaded on a streaming site to finally watch is erased by the service without telling me. I hate when you only can watch season 1-4, 6-,9,12 and not a complete series. Therefore I am trying to buy what I like and what's available.
The problem is when they built their business strategy around Disney+, when they changed story telling and production to compromise for the streaming service, like cutting a movie in tv series, or interrupting narrative of a franchise with mini projects, or release high budget movies directly on Disney+ instead of in cinema
It's because when you could sell the license to Netflix, Hulu and HBO plus run it on a cable channel laiden with ad revenue and sell box sets to hardcore fans you could easily make that back. When you cut off 3/4ths of your potential audience, forced out the cable channel to have enough viewers for that ad revenue by forcing people onto your service, and stop selling box sets because "that hurts the streaming service" you suddenly end up with not even breaking even. It's not really about spending too much, it's the vertical integration of the streaming service the shows have to hold up causing the shows to lose their budget over time and become parodies of their first seasons. Suddenly the proft you'd get from streaming on a single streaming service is eating your budget whole.
Streaming turned into Cable 2.0 as soon as the streaming wars began in 2019. With how many services subscribers have to pay for now compared with being able to watch everything on Netflix for $8 a month before, there is no savings difference now compared to just buying a cable subscription. When it comes to consuming media, I honestly think that the best option nowadays is to buy DVDs or Blu-Rays of your favorites. They are not only much cheaper than paying hundreds of dollars for 10 streaming services annually just to access one or two shows or movies on each (You can find these lying around at your local Goodwill). But there are also collections that exist where you can buy multiple movies for the price of one. On top of this, there is no shitty DRM or censorship involved with DVDs nearly as often as streaming or cable. You physically own and can keep all of the media that you have forever.
As a physical media junkie, I’m curious to see where it all leads. The original streamer was Napster…it was theft. Robin Hood in concept, but it singlehandedly devalued art, destroyed many businesses, and created “customers” who expect everything for nothing. Disposable society. Netflix did things right, but again gave away everything for little $. When competition started stealing their shows and movies, customers are suddenly getting *less* for same $ and were upset. A lot of loyalty lost. Fact is, streaming isn’t built around true loyalty and is now suffering from its own vulture-based culture. Full credit to the people trying to make it work for the customers, I cant imagine! But per this video, if its quantity vs quality and decisions to make cuts that affect the customers are made to appease stockholders…the best they can hope for is that their fanbase is lazy and uninvested enough that they wont care about being shortchanged everytime material is cut from their service and they’ll keep shelling out $ every month anyways. With Netflix and Disney in mind, I think people are getting wise. Has a sinking ship vibe for sure. Streaming for $10/mo might trump buying a bluray for $30, but at least you know where your $ is going and you know where the bluray is a month from now lol.
Well stated. The viability of Hollywood depends on people paying for it's product, whether it's 4k Blu or Blu or DVD or vod, but dollars must be paid in some way. Streaming as a buffet does not support the industry model and has to give; I've said before and I'll say again one quick fix is for studio streamers to jointly limit ALL movies from the streaming services and instead only use them to show and promote tv style shows. This way people must continuing going to the theater for movies, where the money is made, while being content with only using streamers for TV shows and never expecting to see Oppenheimer or Barbie there for no extra cost. To me this would greatly restore the prestige and spectacle of film in whatever genre while readjusting expectations with what to expect from streaming. The business model hollywood needs would stay intact while allowing streaming to be another but small of arm of tv script distribution
@@ravf458 Agreed. Im no accountant or businessman, just thinking out loud. But if major entertainment businesses are losing huge amounts of money, Id have to think that either the quality is lacking therefore they’re losing people…OR their expenses are higher than profit due to business models. Or, at this time…probably both.
@@flexparachute Loyalty as a status whereby 2 parties treat each other well and benefit as such, is an ideal in life. Also a rarity. Corporate greed and the results of it however are not. Mom-and-pop shops and smaller businesses that treat their customers well, Im 100% loyal. The larger companies? My distrust is deserved, put it that way lol.
With a cost of living crisis and people being unable to feed themselves or heat their home, the ripple effect of that is huge. It’s less of a Disney issue and more of just an outcome of a bigger problem. Sure it doesn’t help that the words ‘star wars’ is associated with ‘garbage’ thanks to them but ultimately, doesn’t matter what Disney do they won’t get peoples money while this crisis is underway.
The real issue is Disney no longer knows it’s customer. I’m not sure who they’re making contact for but it’s not the average person. Also how do you have a Star Wars world and not base it on the original trilogy?! It’s IP mismanagement of the highest order.
Blu ray markets need to be championed again as the primary way to see/own movies and tv in optimal presentation. It's far more profitable. Second, ALL studio streamers except Netflix need to limit movies altogether from the services; streamers should only play tv style shows. This distinguishes pretigious film from TV and the industry model that keeps Hollywood going can STAY INTACT. People will attend the theaters knowing that's the only place they can see the movies, while never expecting to see those on streaming unless through VOD or Blu ray, which is paid for formats
I have been a Netflix customer since it popped up on Xbox in 2010, here in Canada. I was originally paying $8 a month and was up to $24 a month with 4k content. The other month, I scaled down to Netflix basic for $6 a month with advertising.
I think Disney+ will stay reguardless , however Disney itself is in a struggling state due to their countless decisions of direction. Best thing they can do is: - Sell movie franchines they have. Honestly, how much stuff does Disney have that they can sell of and primarily build off of that sale? Just me though, but I feel it'd be a good decisions financial wise.
The problem with streaming for me is how indecisive I’ve become now there’s 1,000,000 streaming services to choose from and even more watch that I’m not as interested in as before
a certain pirate website is going to go back in style, i already canceled netflix as the price and content is no longer worth it and i was a subscriber since day 1, their crackdown on sharing accounts was the final nail for me i never shared or used a shared account but it's about respect for the customer, not to mention all their shows are the exact same and can be predicted because of how netflix is when it comes to being "woke" i predicted the plot of the night agent on episode 4 because they tried to force the republican bad thing down our throats to the point of knowing the plot.
very true. the latest show became lame and not inspiring what Disney originally is. It not wrong watch new show the problem is whom is this for cuz there a show that nothing but mediocrity than old day that attracts lot people watch Disney by quality story that disney still exist.
My kids have gotten to basically see my entire childhood through Disney plus, and I'll always be grateful for the fun memories it's given me with them. So for that reason I can honestly say I'm happy to keep it as long as they want me to.
This is pretty much exactly what I expected when they announced Disney+. I knew it was a bad idea from the start. They were just going to cannibalize each other until most of them fail anyway. And it has started.
I disagree. People aren’t burnt out on Disney it’s bad quality that people are tired of. Someone is always complaining about the bad CGI inconsistent writing the disrespect to the source material. Disney’s sheep and doesn’t want to put any effort and so they’re getting exactly what they deserve. Netflix puts out multiple quality shows giving people faith that regardless of the show was good or not it’s not Netflix‘s fault. While shows like Obi-Wan Boba, and secret invasion make Disney look bad.

It's not gonna disappear, especially once Disney melds Hulu into Disney+. Hell, if Netflix can thrive after doing shit people hate (and yes, it is gaining subscribers after removing password share), then Disney won't suffer, even with losing some numbers. If anything, Paramount+ and whatever the hell HBO streaming is calling itself now will die before Disney+ since Disney has way too much people want to see. Hell, Disney+ is basically in the same goat as Gamepass, where even if the numbers decrease, it's not gonna be enough for the companies to really worry since they already knew numbers will drop.
@@escarretada The numbers won't decrease enough for Disney to worry, and you're missing 1 critical aspect about Disney+, it's one of the few streaming services that doesn't really rely on new content, where most people who do sign up for it sign up for it because it's the one place to see classic Disney content, content Disney needs to spend no money on. So yeah, the fact the first year alone was Disney making profit without spending more than a couple of mill to build the site and advertise means that Disney made much more off this then they would have if they made new content now.
I feel like wandavision was so good because it used good characters that we wanted to see more of and actually had a great and creative story. Marvel has been scrapping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to content after endgame
@@parker4173 That is because these characters have been overused for over 10 years. And the ones Feige is introducing to Disney+ are minor characters that no one cared about even buying one comic. Marvel has always been Spider-Man and the X-Men. Even the FF after the 60s have lost their appeal. He's wasting so much time with these characters instead of introducing the X-Men.
Apparently the CFO left last week due to personal reasons, but apparently she clashed quite a lot with ideals from CEO Bob Iger. That’s not a good sign at all.
I mean, I think everyone knew this was gunna happen. Streaming really only worked when all shows were in one place. Splitting it up makes it more expensive to have the same availability as cable or satellite
When you said that Disney is reducing the content range on Disney+, I thought you were going to say "and replace this with quality content," but then I remembered that this would be impossible with Disney....
Honestly, the only reason why we bought Disney+ was to watch the new Goosebumps series, after that this app can become a distant memory for all I care. Hopefully, this show will slap hard and not flop like their other movies. I mean, Sony Pictures and Scholastic Entertainment are in charge this time around so, let’s hope they do justice to this reboot. Ps: Disney better stay far away from the Sony show writers! The only thing they need to worry about is their own marketing ad planning and that teaser trailer imo.
I just wish it is like in earlier days. One (maybe two) Streaming Service(s) where you can find any show. I can't prove it, but I imagine that since the big studios started their own streaming services, Piracy grew again...
Very interesting. I think one thing not mentioned is that when all the companies with IPs wanted a piece of the the Netflix pie everything changed. In the U.K. sky still own the majority of sports. So if you want to have all the sports and IPs it’s actually a lot more expensive now then it was when everything was on cable/sky. Also what changed for cable companies was with recording facilities people just record stuff and skip the advertising (was it TIVo who actually tried to stop that?). This fragmentation, cost of living and the fact it actually costs more by a good £40-50 then it used to for the same amount of content due to all the new streaming services has meant people have had enough and just cancel and swap between them.
Netflix killed BlockBuster in the home rental arena but it's still around as RedBox is killing NetFlix. So NetFlix is actually the most in trouble as it doesn't have something else to fall back on. The future of streaming is Apple, Google, and Amazon companies that don't need the streaming side to keep going.
Once the growth stops because it's not sustainable, it becomes unrealistic to offer new content or pay your staff. I mean, there's a reason why the Writer's Guild is on strike and why people are unsubscribing.
One dmg to Disney's brand and name is the endless violation of law. They violate contract law as if it was candy. They have so much exclusive content on their streaming platform its in the 'rent-seeking ' realm. They have gobbled up so much of the entertainment industry they are a legal monopoly.
Netflix really started out as a movie delivery service, back when DVDs were still a thing and pretty much toppled Blockbuster off the map. Then it evolved into streaming and pioneered the industry until it started looking at competition. Now in the streaming service wars were already saw the loss of CNN+ and soon to be Disney+ (which like most ppl. confuses me as to why thay even created their own streaming service.) The model of licensing worked! If it ain't broke...
Now this is a very interesting video overall. I subscribed to roger on what’s on Disney plus who is very positive about all these changes. It really seems like Disney is doing both from cutting costs and creating more projects from Star Wars and marvel as a result. Definitely a big game of catch-22.
The only way streaming will survive is by merging. If you want to have everything right now, you'll end up paying what you wanted to stop paying with cable. That's what I like about Prime, I can pick and choose other streamers from the same platform, but it still costs too much, so I just drop one and move to another depending on what they have that month, but from the same platform and easier
After Disney+ cancelled 6 episode series about Atatürk (founder of the modern Turkish Republic) many possible subscription along with already existing subscriptions started to fly away from Disney+. Possibly because of Armenian Diaspora lobbies pressuring Disney for a genocide which is unknown if it existed or not.
I hope this is a step towards going back to physical media again. They wont take that away from you and you wont have to worry they have tampered with it in some way (cencorship). I have a pretty large collection of films that wont be tossed away anytime soon. Also most streaming services don't have the old school classics (refering to any film that was released prior to the mid / early 90's).
I have a story to add We went out of state right and logged on to Disney plus on the place we were staying to give the little cousins access to bluey, When we got home they had locked us out of all of our tvs and other signed in devices at home We had to threaten to canceled and support hung up/ put my father on hold multiple times The tactic of keeping people from Sharing is shooting themselves in the foot because we had to threaten to canceled to get them to listen
I don't want Disney+ to go because it was thanks to the streaming service where I actually got to discover many hidden gems from Disney's library and other hidden gems from the brands they've acquired which I probably never would've discovered or have been able to see them otherwise, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who discovered hidden gems from there. I do hope that they can somehow fix this sooner rather than later.
You would be able to, rental stores and physical movie stores, you simply dont buy the same movie twice, and you can rent new movies every week and buy the ones you love
Actual wokeness isn't the cheap pandering BS Disney is doing. Like, learn the difference before you come across as a cranky white dude who just wants to be mad. Disney stuff sucks, but not because of whatever you think "woke" means
That is for sure, and more over if not families hating on some group of people be it straight, white, men or what have you making sweeping generalizations about Them, people never seem to get it, you cannot fight hate with more hate nor can you fight anything stemming from it with more of the same like any ism, it is simply a lie, if one does They are no better then the one that committed the damnable act in the fist place, woke-ism seams more about hate and victim hood and self defeatist mentality than anything that brings people together or uplifts Them' to "do better" malice will not heal this world two wrongs do not make a right, nothing They' make has any heart anymore it is just meant to appease ESG, and if people make it known that They' are opposed to this stagnant content, the media always uses the same old dull and broken buckler of a defense " you are all just a bunch of bigots" and you hate this movie because you hate (blank), as there cannot be any other reason, when you focus on one aspect everything else suffers, in this case the writing, characterization, character development and story, all the things that should matter far more as you can let the themes of what you want to tell happen organically, rather than seem forced and tactless.
Ive seen this "growth first" mindset and its consequences a lot in tech industry. Things are great at first, with service constantly improving. But once new users aren't coming in, thr company starts squeezing out those they have. Notice how Netflix ignored accound sharing for years, but decided to crack it down the moment they reported their first ever decrease is subscribers count. It feels like building a sustainable business model isn't a goal anymore.
This is an incredibly well made video, amazing editing and really engaging visuals, which is unusual from this type of more commentary-based video. Great job

Maybe Amazon? Also, you content is very high quality, keep it going!
Do a video on why the Nintendo Wii U failed miserably. Also, I see you becoming a big youtuber!
This video totally missed what is killing Disney and all the other content creators: horrible shows! We hate the SJW/ANTIFA/BLM movies and shows. They are horrible. Worse, these shows are very racist especially towards white males! This is causing all systems to crash and burn due to attacking the customer base. This is destroying gigantic corporations like Budweiser Beer, for example. We are boycotting these businesses and Disney hates normal men with a hot passion so...normal men no longer want any Disney anywhere near themselves.
Hm... nice video. But it fails to actually say, specifically, why Disney+ won't exist anymore in 2 years (as the video title claims). Unless I missed something...
@@bellissimo4520 Thanks for the feedback! We will definitely strive to come up with clearer conclusions in the future.
So Disney+ is struggling despite having these amazing big franchises like Star Wars and Marvel... well, it's doing everything it can to drive those into the ground.
Sadly it's not only Disney. Warner is driving DC into the ground too. Both studios need to jump off the woke bandwagon and give us well written entertainment. The fans deserve better.
@@elcarajo66actually DC has been pretty good lately....Harley Quinn; Superman and Lois; Peacemaker; Zack Snyder's Justice League; The Batman; Joker etc were all fantastic....Now compare that to the the likes of Antman 3; Thor 4 and She-Hulk?😂

I feel like Disney+ COULD'VE been a good idea, had it not artificially bulked up their catalogue. I remembered back in the day when Disney+ was in talks that one of their "selling points" was that their entire library of content, shows, classic cartoons and such, would no longer be "in the vault" as they put it. As someone who enjoys more vintage and obscure content from Disney I saw that as intriguing. Fast forward to now and the service still doesn't have their entire batch of silly symphonies, or classic Mickey Mouse cartoons. It's not like they don't have them digitized, because there used to be a dvd collection called "Walt Disney treasures" that did ended up collecting all the silly symphony cartoons. I don't want to watch "remade classics" of old Disney properties, I want to see the ACTUAL classics. Properly preserved and available for anyone to watch. Sorry for ranting, this just has been on my mind for a while...
And it'd cost less. Part of Disneys problem is the price hike. It has to go up to support all the new shows they're making.
Stuff like this is why other streaming services like Crunchyroll, Max, Paramount Plus, Peacock and Amazon Prime have been doing well. Because they’ve cheapened the price to either 9.99 or 4.99 per buck.
Can you see the classic on a legal way anywhere?
If not this is another reason for a law that enforces "owners" of classical IPs to either provide their content on their platform or license it!
Same as announcing franchises to join the ranks in streaming, for them to not release it in my country. I subscribed for a certain show,, still not available… liars, at Disney
Agreed! We just cancelled our Disney+ subscription because we found all of our old VHSs and machine that work like a charm. My only reason for joining the streaming service was to watch obscure vault content. Instead it got overstuffed with cheap shows of IPs I don’t particularly care about. It’s a shame what they’ve done to their reputation and legacy with streaming.
Disney + is the reason nobody goes to the theatre to see Disney movies as much. Disney has trained their audience to know that if they skip the theatre and wait a few weeks, the movie will be there for free. They killed their own theatrical.
Yet they still top the box office year after year.
@@TeganCantEvenelemental and Indiana Jones both flopped
@@anastasiassecret3837 Avatar is a little different because the theatrical experience is much more enhanced than the streamer version. It's more of an event than a movie. Guardians of the Galaxy did buck the trend though, and made very solid box office
Disney has many problems, but, even though it doesn't have streaming, I've noticed a similar trend appearing with Dreamworks movies, with Puss in Boots the Last Wish and Super Mario Brothers coming out on DVD just about as soon as their theatrical runs ended. If they're not careful, that could end up having the same effect and causing people to just wait till it comes out on DVD, and hurt their theatrical budgets.
@@anastasiassecret3837if there are 100 of their movies released this year of course some of them will win
i love how the industry is spending so much effort on licensing and capturing audiences yet they are ignoring the most obvious solution: GOOD CONTENT
It's the Netflix problem described by Captain Midnight - It would be better for Netflix to do fewer shows and actually have complete series. Or else create more episodic series where Episodes stand alone. As it is, they're filling their back catalogue with incomplete series that nobody wants to watch. Who wants to watch something that doesn't get finished. I have fanfiction for that!
That would involve properly paying their writers. And we know they won’t
@@trippyjun The writers would also need to have talent. That seems to be in short supply lately.
@@trollerifficor maybe the writers don't have time resources and available opportunity to actually make good content because of said companies
@@-Teague-
Nah, these writers would still be terrible if they made millions a year. Film industry proves that out.
Even so, it doesn't matter. Audiences no longer watch series (or movies) to be wowed by writing talent which is why a piece of mediocre junk like The Bear was the most acclaimed show last year. It's also why only the most terminally-online Redditors like you care about the WGA strike; even then it's not because you want to enjoy good writing. You just need to virtue signal as badly as you need to breathe.
Normal people are too busy living their lives and dealing with actual problems to care about creatives or what they're being paid to do their fake jobs.
The biggest example is the mandalorian season 1 vs season 3
The first season was THE reason to get Disney plus to watch this high budget, well crafted story in the star wars universe in which every episode looked like a movie.
Season 3 had much lower ratings, you could tell the budget was lower and production value had fallen overall. With episodes that had camera angles and lighting similar to a snl sketch.
The writing especially, fell off a cliff.
@@TheRogueJedii It felt like a first draft, like with book of boba and obiwan
The moment I saw Lizzo and Jack Black, it BECAME an SNL skit. I was unable to take any of it seriously from then on
You mean 2 3 was good
I've said it before - the studios didn't learn why people walked away from cable and went to Netflix and are repeating the same mistakes. No one wants to pay for 10 different services to see their content, they want them at 1 place which is why Netflix was popular. Had the studios made better deals and we had just Netflix and Prime, they would all be making money because A) people would all be loyal and stick with it and B) there wouldn't be as much bad content since right now the services want quantity over quality.
What I wonder is what's going to happen to smaller free services like Pluto tv, etc - are we going to see them start going under as studios yank content from them like they did with Netflix? Why would Paramount CBS license Star Trek and Twilight Zone to Pluto and then compete against them for customers when they can keep that content for their own service? I think that is something that we could also see. Streaming isn't going away but it will look very different in just a couple years, nevermind in 5 years.
Disney also collected money from Netflix just for Netflix to show Disney Content. Netflix was a glorified video rental store like Blockbuster was.
@@KaosNova2 yeah but cut out the middle man and make more for yourself. Look at theatres, they are pushing streaming over theatrical releases because streaming might bring less but then they don't have to share.
Use the bay of pirates. Everting is free. Blows my mind how stupid people are. Makes sense people got poison vaccine shots. Too stupid to survive.
Exactly. Whenever these studios licensed their IPs to streaming services they made so much bank. Now they are reaping the consequences of having their own streaming service
Instead of "sharing" one free market under fair competition they act like feudal landlords and divide the land of free customers among themselves!
Effing greed!
They do not opt out for quality, creativity or cultivate anything. It is not even good for capitalism!
They want to cut out the middlemen by becoming their own provider, but have instead implemented several middlemen for the customer to subscribe to!
But I think artists should organize themselves in more independent and collaborating networks and should seek out non-exclusive deals!
Maybe it is time for some legal regulations so that the relation between actual producers (writers, actors etc.) and the customer can flourish again without all those counterproductive bets along the way.
Amazing how originally all they were concerned about was piracy, then Netflix showed up and it was all about wanting to be Netflix, and now we're back to piracy being the more appealing option again. Good job guys.
Well it is just one fool leading other fools around by the nose. When one fool fails, another fool steps in to lead...and on and on it goes. This is where greed always leads.
To be fair the internet was and is something where if you don’t get a foothold, you fall behind.
Disney+ should sell themself to netflix for penny, better than losing everything

@@lindsaywilhelm8217 UA-cam has always had ads.. It launched in 2005, but it started ads on videos since 2006. It always had banner ads.

That's when ads started appearing more aggressively, similar to Cable TV. That said, UA-cam Premium is relatively worth it. Alternatively, UA-cam isn't aggressive against adblock browser extensions.

I'm so done with everything associated with Disney. Their endless poor-quality cash-grabs and mismanagement of once-respected franchises, as well as an overall lack of audience-pleasing entertainment, has locked my wallet for anything they will produce. They had a good run, but they lost their way.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Is the only hope/interest for me.
Disney+ is probably just a stupid idea. Without it, Disney could license out their movies and shows to multiple streaming services like HBO, Netflix, cable TV etc., and reach a much wider audience and make more money. But when they put their shows on their own streaming services, it not only limits the audience much more, but also leads some people to not go watch the movie in a theatre anymore, because they know that it will release on Disney+ later anyway. Maybe, just maybe, for a big content company like Disney, an exclusive streaming platform is just a fundamentally bad idea.
Maybe this is the way the market will move. Only 2, 3, or 4 streamers, licensing content from 12+ studios.
Yeah my best friend is a theater junkie and goes to see movies once a week and she still won’t see anything marvel or Disney because she knows they’ll be on Disney + eventually. Instead, she’ll go watch movies that she knows will be hard, if not impossible to see on a streaming platform.
If the Disney Channel could never be a network, Disney+ could never be a streaming giant.
It didn't help that they got Woke. (And subsequently Went Broke.)
@@robertewalt7789 Yes, consumers were never going to be able to support more than a couple of streamers, and a jumped-up (and Woke) Disney Channel was never going to be one of them.
Basically how things were with Netflix during the 2010s.
Licensed content of big corps on one or few services was nice. Before they pulled out everything.
August 2024 and Disney+ is still here. I'll check yet again in another year.
I cancelled Disney+ last week when they raised their price. None of the individual streaming services are worth more than $10 per month. I'd gladly pay $50 per month for old Netflix where everything was in one place with a decent UX. I'm not going to pay $20 per month for multiple services. The only reason I still have Prime and Netflix is because they're both free with other products I need. I've started going back to buying Blu-Rays and building my own library of physical copies. Streaming is simply renting content that can and will disappear at the corporate whims. Add in that companies are editing their films to be more modern means DVD/Blu-Ray is the only way to ensure you keep films/TV as they were originally envisioned.
The streaming wars are over, and consumers are the ones losing the most.
I work in film and television. I'm a huge movie buff. I hate the modern streaming business models. I miss old school Netflix.
For those that remember Cable TV did the exact same thing. It started off as being an ad free service. Then they split off various channels to premium levels, added the ads back and so on. Streaming never worked tbh, but it worked best when it was a distributor, not a producer of content with old Netflix. Being able to find every thing on one service worked, having to shop around removes the convenience and savings to the point you might as well not pay for a streaming service. You either go back to cable, go without or just find free content online to enjoy like youtube.
Tencent wetv, iqiyi and youku wants to talk to you 😅 I subscribe to that 3 streaming platform. I'm happy to pay because they don't have woke and identity politics Bullshit. You know what even crazy, people can actually watch their content for free. The vip member get to watch more episode release earlier than public. And after the show its done it will be lock for vip only.
It means they release show that the viewer wants and appreciateciated it to the point they buy vip to watch extra episode. Look at Netflix. N disney. keep putting up woke bullshit. I'm at the point watching Netflix for other shows that Netflix rent to put up on their library not their original content. Not because saturated but because the quality that they put out is just pure trash.
I rather multiple platforms with the same catalog; a practice done in many countries with sane laws around distribution of media.
wow just like facebook
but of course they have to pay for the cost of infrustructure
I realized long ago that I don't need all of these shows in my life. I just don't care about any of it. I just sit back and enjoy the various dumpster fires at nighttime. The distant glowing fires are soothing as the big companies lie to everyone and battle it out!😂.
@@Dave102693I miss the days when a "platform" was something to stand on.
It's failing because Disney keeps putting a bunch of uninteresting bs on their streaming service instead of putting what Disney fans would actually want. Remember Disney shows like Aladdin the series, The Legend of Tarzan, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, or House of Mouse? Well Disney sure doesn't because they're not on Disney +. Disney has so many shows that they've already produced years ago, and it would cost them nothing to put them on Disney+, but instead, they're wasting money producing shows that no one asked for.
Yes! I keep waiting for Aladdin the Series!
@@LeahKoahal I never understood why they've never put the Aladdin series. It was highly popular.
In the end, THAT is why Disney Plus is not profitable.
The whole reason I was initially excited about Disney+ was because of their back catalog. Who knew they would mostly rely on unproven material without having much of the older stuff as a cushion? The heads of Disney really dropped the ball with having most of their older material in the vaults.
Let's not pretend that these shows "would cost nothing". Imagine they added every old show they have and let's just pretend it's everything in 720p, no full hd or 4k, just regular HD. They now have the costs of 40 years+ of tv shows/movies, literally TBs or even Petabytes of content spread in datacenters across the world to make the content properly available for every user with none of this content being viral, no one will jump to subscribe just to watch some old disney show that no one is talking about and advertising it is surely not worth it. This is the reason streaming services "waste" money on shows "no one asked for". Because these shows can go viral, these shows have the possibility of turning into a tiktok trend and bring in millions of new users to the platform. None of this will happen with old shows.
Another thing, every show that exists now, wasn't "asked for" before. StarWars? Crazy, it was revolutionary, no one asked for. Any of the shows you mentioned? No one asked for them to be created but you are now asking for them to be available. Why should disney or any other streaming service stop creating new shows just because they already have old ones?
Your view on the streaming issue is so simplistic and is clear you don't have a clue of what you are talking about.
For those of us who remember back when cable tv first became a thing it was offered on the idea that you would pay for channels and get rid of ads for that monthly fee. Over time the ads began to creep back in, first it was just a block of ads between episodes or movies, then it eventually became during the show or movie until it was indistinguishable from regular TV broadcasts. To think that online streaming wouldn't follow the same path already pioneered and proven that it works by the cable companies is just a disconnect of people who don't remember history.
The worst were the arguments where you'd complain about the ads and the other guy would say you're complaining about free TV. Strange, I don't remember "free" TV costing so much. Somehow the cable industry convinced a lot of us that we just paid for a hookup and that the content itself was separate.
@@dycedargselderbrother5353 I think you're thinking of Broadcast. i.e. the Channels you could get with your 'bunny ears'. Of course, part of it was that Broadcast can only support so many channels due to the finite nature of the EM spectrum. Cable allowed more 'freemium' channels to be packaged as a standard part of the basic cable plan. The problem was that most of those channels kinda sucked.
A common issue was a thing called 'network decay' where over time Channels dedicated to certain genres would slowly degrade into a sort of 'generic male interest' or 'generic female interest' channel. A good example is the History Channel starting with history and then gradually devolving into Ancient Aliens, Ice Road Truckers, and Pawn Stars . . .
@@BustermachineHistory Channel…such a missed opportunity for the teaching community. Imagine if it was programming that actually synchronized with the curricula of elementary and middle school. That, instead of being supported by advertising, was supported by a national education fund. Like PBS, but not today’s PBS. The PBS of 50 years ago.
CNN, MTV and ESPN had commercials from day 1, which I never accepted as I simply refuse to sit through commercials on something I’m paying for. Nickelodeon was commercial-free its first year or so.
Yeah I'm old enough to remember it. It's was only a matter of time that the same thing happened on streaming services because it's never enough.
I have an idea that would fix the entire problem. Cooperation. If the various companies licensed out their properties to each other there would be more incentive for people to stop hopping between services and keep one or two. Disney+ gets fewer subscribers but they get licensing money from Netflix, then Netflix gets more subscribers. Or vice versa. They keep their new show/movie on their own platform for 6 months to incentivize die hard fans. But after that they let others buy the rights to stream it also. It also incentivizes the actual service itself to be better. New features like director's commentary tracks, deleted scene cuts, blooper reels, customizable subtitle fonts, better episode select menus, making playlists out of different TV shows, all sorts of fun ideas.
I got a Disney+ ad before this video lol
Maybe if Disney had used Disney plus as an archive library while puting their new stuff on the other streamers like Netflix and Amazon Prime.
that actually good idea cuz there are some people didn't watch some show from previous years and make them wonder any kind of during that year.
Genius
How come no one on Disney had this thought? It should be so simple to make an attractive streaming service when you have such a deep archive of beloved shows and movies like they do.
Honestly it is what I use for and it can be used that way. The fact that they’re releasing mediocre shows doesn’t stop the audience from doing that.
@@thevinisoThey tried to copy netflix instead of coming up with a disney archive idea.

Problem with video streaming has been restrictive licences from the start. I don't care if doctor who is on bbc or disney I just want to watch it and I need it now. also I can't afford to buy every streaming service, I'd rather pay 50c for every movie I watch eventhough it might be more expensive in the end.
There was a disney+ ad before this video LOL
The whole company is in free-fall, I think they’re beginning to wake up to the fact that there is no money in streaming.
The worst part is that they’ve bet the farm in streaming at the expense of severing physical media sales like blu-Ray and dvd and also lack of merchandise.
People loved streaming services and youtube because they were free of intrusive advertising. You can just enjoy the content and move on. And now, we are right back to the TV cable model with the same fragmented channels.
very ironic that some people so obsessed want to be success in quick way only in end result get few good .
So they all think that that the future is the past - with an outdated and obsolete business model.
It's sooo satisfying to see Disney falling apart. Well deserved.
Go woke, go broke
I really hate how they've been trying to become a monopoly on entertainment. I mean, they already had Pixar, then they got Marvel and it became absurdly successful. Was that enough? No, they bought Lucasfilm and milked the shit out of Star Wars. Of course it worked, so what did they do with their truckloads of money? They just fucking bought 21st Century Fox. It's ridiculous, who can even compete against that?
@@thevinisowell it was Disneys effort to make Marvel sucessful. They could have also produced lots of losses.
@@rupertschwarz5477 Sure, but it was successful, ridiculously successful, in fact. And even then they still felt the need to buy Lucasfilm and Fox.
They have two movies in the top 5 box office for 2023. They arent falling apart mate
All Disney had to do was to open the vault and put up content that made them successful in the first place like all The Wonderful World of Disney movies/specials with Walt Disney, Mickey Mouse Club, etc….Hell, they could’ve even released Song of the South with a disclaimer. Instead they spent tons of money on new lame ass movies and shows that no asked for or wanted.
Once bearded princess made the news we canceled everything Disney. Their content is no longer what Walt Disney imagined. Re-imagine a world without customers.
As son as any service introduces mandatory ads of any kind I am gone! I’ll start downloading again. Currently I am paying for prime, disney+, netflix, hbo max and some smaller and local channels. Their only appeal is the lack of ads!
The fact that they removed Disney+ Premium within the span of its first year, says enough of what Disney needs to know about their new content
Was that the harebrained scheme that added $39.99 for Raya ON TOP of the usual subscription fee?
Frr 💀
I saw that shit and knew it was a ridiculous thing
@@annieboookhall That's EXTORTIONATE
One thing you forgot to mention is that Disney+ is also removing their own original shows because of residual fees. There could be a world where Netflix removes its beloved originals from their platform to cut costs too.
they’ve already removed some of their own produced shows :/
Honestly greedy corporations need to fail
god will bring judgment of their action.
@@OwO377 Amen to that
"You may lose all through your greed."-Aesop's Fables
so all of em?
Why? No-one is forcing anyone to pay for them
These big companies are forgetting the world has far less money than they used to due to rising cost of living etc. I had to cancel many of my subscriptions just so I could afford food.
Bro changed the title like we wouldn't notice😭
Best part about Disney+ Basic? The OG Disney Channel on cable was completely ad free, and included in almost all non-basic cable packages (local channels only type packages)
Believe it or not, there was a time when you actually had to pay extra JUST to get the Disney Channel. I remember being a kid and being excited whenever Disney did their "generous" free month where all cable networks would get to watch the channel without paying for a short time, mostly interrupted with ads telling you to give them money if you actually want to watch the channel for real.
I think one of the biggest reasons for the downfall of streaming services is that so many people just pirate stuff now because they don't want to have to subscribe to 7, different services annually to watch 7 shows they like when they could very easily pirate all seven for free.
tru
I still subscribe to Netflix cause I like a lot of their shows and the app works great everywhere. Also, it's not their fault everybody and their mother decided to launch their own streaming service. Also also, the fact that streaming is the only service they provide is a nice for me personally as I don't like feeding the monsters that are Amazon, Apple and Disney.
Hulu is pretty decent for tv series and a more than decent anime catalog
yeah, often piracy sites don't randomly take down content because of licensing issues (because they don't give a shit about licensing lmao), don't have excessive in-video ads and you can just download whatever you want and actually keep it. not to mention the whole thing with not having to subscribe to 7 different services. piracy just seems like a way better deal than having to pay possibly hundreds for premium streaming per month. the only thing you'd probably need to pay for is a VPN and you're all good (totally not advocating for piracy wink wink).
@@barrysteakfriessimp_real That said, I use Proton VPN which is free and I'm fine
Especially with the writer’s strike going on right now, it’s going to halt even more projects. Apple TV+ recently cancelled their metropolitan tv series as well.
The writer's strike has been on going since television media created red-tape policies from its inception. This isn't the first or last time the creative teams, costume teams, filmmaker teams or others will go on strike. The problem with Disney and its subsidiaries is/are they hire way too many people, give them ideas, them the creative team comes up with an excellent idea. Then the stupid censorship law comes in and edits everything out, taking away the essence and soul of the project. It leaves the creatives without much control and then they feel cheated out of the job and then add in low pay, few perks, some are part time or via-contract (per X amount of months) and they feel like they aren't given enough money or creative power to make something unique for the mass public. This applies almost to every other filming industry, but I haven't done research on the others yet.
Thank you for bringing us the facts on the table. I am an independent film maker since 2000 and I've seen the birth of DVD to Streaming and I still believe people wants to own their movies. Some digital and some to put on the shelves. I get so frustrated when a movie I've downloaded on a streaming site to finally watch is erased by the service without telling me. I hate when you only can watch season 1-4, 6-,9,12 and not a complete series. Therefore I am trying to buy what I like and what's available.
The problem is when they built their business strategy around Disney+, when they changed story telling and production to compromise for the streaming service, like cutting a movie in tv series, or interrupting narrative of a franchise with mini projects, or release high budget movies directly on Disney+ instead of in cinema
I think the issue is how astronomical budgets are for shows for no reason. Shows are over $200mil for a season, with nothing to show for it
It's because when you could sell the license to Netflix, Hulu and HBO plus run it on a cable channel laiden with ad revenue and sell box sets to hardcore fans you could easily make that back. When you cut off 3/4ths of your potential audience, forced out the cable channel to have enough viewers for that ad revenue by forcing people onto your service, and stop selling box sets because "that hurts the streaming service" you suddenly end up with not even breaking even.
It's not really about spending too much, it's the vertical integration of the streaming service the shows have to hold up causing the shows to lose their budget over time and become parodies of their first seasons. Suddenly the proft you'd get from streaming on a single streaming service is eating your budget whole.
Streaming turned into Cable 2.0 as soon as the streaming wars began in 2019. With how many services subscribers have to pay for now compared with being able to watch everything on Netflix for $8 a month before, there is no savings difference now compared to just buying a cable subscription.
When it comes to consuming media, I honestly think that the best option nowadays is to buy DVDs or Blu-Rays of your favorites. They are not only much cheaper than paying hundreds of dollars for 10 streaming services annually just to access one or two shows or movies on each (You can find these lying around at your local Goodwill). But there are also collections that exist where you can buy multiple movies for the price of one.
On top of this, there is no shitty DRM or censorship involved with DVDs nearly as often as streaming or cable. You physically own and can keep all of the media that you have forever.
As a physical media junkie, I’m curious to see where it all leads. The original streamer was Napster…it was theft. Robin Hood in concept, but it singlehandedly devalued art, destroyed many businesses, and created “customers” who expect everything for nothing. Disposable society. Netflix did things right, but again gave away everything for little $. When competition started stealing their shows and movies, customers are suddenly getting *less* for same $ and were upset. A lot of loyalty lost. Fact is, streaming isn’t built around true loyalty and is now suffering from its own vulture-based culture. Full credit to the people trying to make it work for the customers, I cant imagine! But per this video, if its quantity vs quality and decisions to make cuts that affect the customers are made to appease stockholders…the best they can hope for is that their fanbase is lazy and uninvested enough that they wont care about being shortchanged everytime material is cut from their service and they’ll keep shelling out $ every month anyways. With Netflix and Disney in mind, I think people are getting wise. Has a sinking ship vibe for sure. Streaming for $10/mo might trump buying a bluray for $30, but at least you know where your $ is going and you know where the bluray is a month from now lol.
Well stated. The viability of Hollywood depends on people paying for it's product, whether it's 4k Blu or Blu or DVD or vod, but dollars must be paid in some way. Streaming as a buffet does not support the industry model and has to give; I've said before and I'll say again one quick fix is for studio streamers to jointly limit ALL movies from the streaming services and instead only use them to show and promote tv style shows. This way people must continuing going to the theater for movies, where the money is made, while being content with only using streamers for TV shows and never expecting to see Oppenheimer or Barbie there for no extra cost. To me this would greatly restore the prestige and spectacle of film in whatever genre while readjusting expectations with what to expect from streaming. The business model hollywood needs would stay intact while allowing streaming to be another but small of arm of tv script distribution
@@ravf458 Agreed. Im no accountant or businessman, just thinking out loud. But if major entertainment businesses are losing huge amounts of money, Id have to think that either the quality is lacking therefore they’re losing people…OR their expenses are higher than profit due to business models. Or, at this time…probably both.
If you are loyal to corporations, I feel sorry for you.
@@flexparachute Loyalty as a status whereby 2 parties treat each other well and benefit as such, is an ideal in life. Also a rarity. Corporate greed and the results of it however are not. Mom-and-pop shops and smaller businesses that treat their customers well, Im 100% loyal. The larger companies? My distrust is deserved, put it that way lol.
@@geepike yep. sort of. Loyalty is only valuable if it is never called upon.
With a cost of living crisis and people being unable to feed themselves or heat their home, the ripple effect of that is huge. It’s less of a Disney issue and more of just an outcome of a bigger problem. Sure it doesn’t help that the words ‘star wars’ is associated with ‘garbage’ thanks to them but ultimately, doesn’t matter what Disney do they won’t get peoples money while this crisis is underway.
The real issue is Disney no longer knows it’s customer. I’m not sure who they’re making contact for but it’s not the average person. Also how do you have a Star Wars world and not base it on the original trilogy?! It’s IP mismanagement of the highest order.
Blu ray markets need to be championed again as the primary way to see/own movies and tv in optimal presentation. It's far more profitable. Second, ALL studio streamers except Netflix need to limit movies altogether from the services; streamers should only play tv style shows. This distinguishes pretigious film from TV and the industry model that keeps Hollywood going can STAY INTACT. People will attend the theaters knowing that's the only place they can see the movies, while never expecting to see those on streaming unless through VOD or Blu ray, which is paid for formats
Blu Ray is a great option. HD quality video and sound, without needing Internet, and you can even resell it. I get them from my library.
I agree. DVD and Blu-Ray are going to see a big renaissance is this keeps up
Yup. I want blu rays.
Amazon makes a lot of money off me renting movies. Rental services could make a comeback too.
Netflix still does DVD and Blu-ray plans.
I have been a Netflix customer since it popped up on Xbox in 2010, here in Canada. I was originally paying $8 a month and was up to $24 a month with 4k content. The other month, I scaled down to Netflix basic for $6 a month with advertising.
I was a customer since the disc popped up with my local blockbuster with vhs tapes and used dvds.. my its grown .. 😊 ..
@@freelancephotography35 That service was, as far as I know, only offered in the US...cheers
this video is so well made and criminally underrated
I'm happy you liked it! 😄
*Yeah, no.*
*The reason Disney+ lost those subscribers is because they lost the cricket in India.*
*Disney+ will still be here in a year*
You forgot to say that Disney is also killing its own brand by cramming all the woke crap in everything they produce these days
I think Disney+ will stay reguardless , however Disney itself is in a struggling state due to their countless decisions of direction.
Best thing they can do is:
- Sell movie franchines they have.
Honestly, how much stuff does Disney have that they can sell of and primarily build off of that sale?
Just me though, but I feel it'd be a good decisions financial wise.
How do you only have 1.6k subscribers? This is very well made.
🙏
The problem with streaming for me is how indecisive I’ve become now there’s 1,000,000 streaming services to choose from and even more watch that I’m not as interested in as before
It is a trouble to even decide where to search for what content.
Dude your editor needs a raise already!
a certain pirate website is going to go back in style, i already canceled netflix as the price and content is no longer worth it and i was a subscriber since day 1, their crackdown on sharing accounts was the final nail for me i never shared or used a shared account but it's about respect for the customer, not to mention all their shows are the exact same and can be predicted because of how netflix is when it comes to being "woke" i predicted the plot of the night agent on episode 4 because they tried to force the republican bad thing down our throats to the point of knowing the plot.
I watch disney plus not for the new stuff, but the old stuff that they didn’t make but own. It’s like an archive
very true. the latest show became lame and not inspiring what Disney originally is. It not wrong watch new show the problem is whom is this for cuz there a show that nothing but mediocrity than old day that attracts lot people watch Disney by quality story that disney still exist.
@@Sk8rGamingKeiLike how they made Star Wars? Or how they made Pixar? Lol
@@Sk8rGamingKei I don't recall Disney making Marvel, either.
I think they’re going through a rough patch but I don’t see the platform going away. It still has great stuff for kids.
This is the only sensible answer in these comments. People will continue paying Disney+
I'm sure all of the CRT and LGBT content will go down like acid with parents!
My kids have gotten to basically see my entire childhood through Disney plus, and I'll always be grateful for the fun memories it's given me with them. So for that reason I can honestly say I'm happy to keep it as long as they want me to.
@@ZenMonkeyGodbut it costs too much
This is pretty much exactly what I expected when they announced Disney+. I knew it was a bad idea from the start.
They were just going to cannibalize each other until most of them fail anyway. And it has started.
I disagree. People aren’t burnt out on Disney it’s bad quality that people are tired of. Someone is always complaining about the bad CGI inconsistent writing the disrespect to the source material. Disney’s sheep and doesn’t want to put any effort and so they’re getting exactly what they deserve. Netflix puts out multiple quality shows giving people faith that regardless of the show was good or not it’s not Netflix‘s fault. While shows like Obi-Wan Boba, and secret invasion make Disney look bad.
Lower bell comment, 0:20 D+ didn't become the expected cash cow 5:00 squeeze additional profits! 6:40 cutting costs and return to adving, OTHERS too (necessary evil) 1:40 "unprofitable cable" -- Long game 2:15 growth over profitability
It's not gonna disappear, especially once Disney melds Hulu into Disney+. Hell, if Netflix can thrive after doing shit people hate (and yes, it is gaining subscribers after removing password share), then Disney won't suffer, even with losing some numbers. If anything, Paramount+ and whatever the hell HBO streaming is calling itself now will die before Disney+ since Disney has way too much people want to see. Hell, Disney+ is basically in the same goat as Gamepass, where even if the numbers decrease, it's not gonna be enough for the companies to really worry since they already knew numbers will drop.
Well the thing is the number will decrease much more, since no good content is coming for disney +
@@escarretadaI disagree. There is some good content, but besides that every marvel or Star Wars production pulls in millions of viewers no matter what
@@escarretada The numbers won't decrease enough for Disney to worry, and you're missing 1 critical aspect about Disney+, it's one of the few streaming services that doesn't really rely on new content, where most people who do sign up for it sign up for it because it's the one place to see classic Disney content, content Disney needs to spend no money on. So yeah, the fact the first year alone was Disney making profit without spending more than a couple of mill to build the site and advertise means that Disney made much more off this then they would have if they made new content now.
I don't want Disney+ to disappear, Dollar Stories. :( I want to keep Disney+ forevermore and forever, Dollar Stories! :)
If Disney+ disappears in 1 year it's because all the Marvel series, except WandaVision, have been terribly disappointing.
I feel like wandavision was so good because it used good characters that we wanted to see more of and actually had a great and creative story. Marvel has been scrapping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to content after endgame
@@parker4173 That is because these characters have been overused for over 10 years. And the ones Feige is introducing to Disney+ are minor characters that no one cared about even buying one comic. Marvel has always been Spider-Man and the X-Men. Even the FF after the 60s have lost their appeal. He's wasting so much time with these characters instead of introducing the X-Men.
Imagine being big enough to cut 70,000 jobs and for the company to just keep going because those jobs were just bloat to the work pool.
I can't believe the pay for having ads. It's so prehistorical that seems like a nightmare.
Apparently the CFO left last week due to personal reasons, but apparently she clashed quite a lot with ideals from CEO Bob Iger. That’s not a good sign at all.
Streaming Services are allot like insurance companies.
Yet we don't really NEED streaming services compared to insurance.
I mean, I think everyone knew this was gunna happen. Streaming really only worked when all shows were in one place. Splitting it up makes it more expensive to have the same availability as cable or satellite
Actually it's still cheaper to have Disney +, Netflix, and HBO than to have cable.
Maybe in your country
@@botezsimp5808 but that is only 3. And every major studio is starting to make their own service and pull their shows from the other ones.
My aunt unsubscribed from Disney+ because of all of the LGBTQ+ stuff. She's really religious, so I'm okay with that.
When you said that Disney is reducing the content range on Disney+, I thought you were going to say "and replace this with quality content," but then I remembered that this would be impossible with Disney....
Too many streaming services and price increase leads people to pick and choose what services will give them more for their buck
Honestly, the only reason why we bought Disney+ was to watch the new Goosebumps series, after that this app can become a distant memory for all I care.
Hopefully, this show will slap hard and not flop like their other movies.
I mean, Sony Pictures and Scholastic Entertainment are in charge this time around so, let’s hope they do justice to this reboot.
Ps: Disney better stay far away from the Sony show writers! The only thing they need to worry about is their own marketing ad planning and that teaser trailer imo.
I just wish it is like in earlier days. One (maybe two) Streaming Service(s) where you can find any show. I can't prove it, but I imagine that since the big studios started their own streaming services, Piracy grew again...
Man this is such a great video
Disney chose quantity over quality and suffered for it
Very interesting. I think one thing not mentioned is that when all the companies with IPs wanted a piece of the the Netflix pie everything changed. In the U.K. sky still own the majority of sports. So if you want to have all the sports and IPs it’s actually a lot more expensive now then it was when everything was on cable/sky. Also what changed for cable companies was with recording facilities people just record stuff and skip the advertising (was it TIVo who actually tried to stop that?). This fragmentation, cost of living and the fact it actually costs more by a good £40-50 then it used to for the same amount of content due to all the new streaming services has meant people have had enough and just cancel and swap between them.
Netflix killed BlockBuster in the home rental arena but it's still around as RedBox is killing NetFlix. So NetFlix is actually the most in trouble as it doesn't have something else to fall back on. The future of streaming is Apple, Google, and Amazon companies that don't need the streaming side to keep going.
This comment did not age well, because AppleTV+ is the biggest failure in streaming.
One day you’ll be a well known channel with a big name, your video quality is too good to not become one❤
Thank you so much!
@@Dollar.Stories I'm very surprised you have only 813 subscribers. Yep, you're gonna get more really fast with this quality.
It's not about profit, it's about corrupting children.
Once the growth stops because it's not sustainable, it becomes unrealistic to offer new content or pay your staff. I mean, there's a reason why the Writer's Guild is on strike and why people are unsubscribing.
One dmg to Disney's brand and name is the endless violation of law. They violate contract law as if it was candy. They have so much exclusive content on their streaming platform its in the 'rent-seeking ' realm. They have gobbled up so much of the entertainment industry they are a legal monopoly.
Netflix really started out as a movie delivery service, back when DVDs were still a thing and pretty much toppled Blockbuster off the map. Then it evolved into streaming and pioneered the industry until it started looking at competition. Now in the streaming service wars were already saw the loss of CNN+ and soon to be Disney+ (which like most ppl. confuses me as to why thay even created their own streaming service.) The model of licensing worked! If it ain't broke...
Now this is a very interesting video overall. I subscribed to roger on what’s on Disney plus who is very positive about all these changes. It really seems like Disney is doing both from cutting costs and creating more projects from Star Wars and marvel as a result. Definitely a big game of catch-22.
The only way streaming will survive is by merging. If you want to have everything right now, you'll end up paying what you wanted to stop paying with cable. That's what I like about Prime, I can pick and choose other streamers from the same platform, but it still costs too much, so I just drop one and move to another depending on what they have that month, but from the same platform and easier
After Disney+ cancelled 6 episode series about Atatürk (founder of the modern Turkish Republic) many possible subscription along with already existing subscriptions started to fly away from Disney+. Possibly because of Armenian Diaspora lobbies pressuring Disney for a genocide which is unknown if it existed or not.
I hope this is a step towards going back to physical media again. They wont take that away from you and you wont have to worry they have tampered with it in some way (cencorship). I have a pretty large collection of films that wont be tossed away anytime soon. Also most streaming services don't have the old school classics (refering to any film that was released prior to the mid / early 90's).
Disney going out of buisness?
"Don't do that. Dont give me hope."
I have a story to add
We went out of state right and logged on to Disney plus on the place we were staying to give the little cousins access to bluey,
When we got home they had locked us out of all of our tvs and other signed in devices at home
We had to threaten to canceled and support hung up/ put my father on hold multiple times
The tactic of keeping people from Sharing is shooting themselves in the foot because we had to threaten to canceled to get them to listen
the only thing you forget to mention is the key reason why Disney is melting: GO WOKE GO BROKE
Good. I would have cancelled them a long time ago but the wife keeps irrationally to keep them.
I don't want Disney+ to go because it was thanks to the streaming service where I actually got to discover many hidden gems from Disney's library and other hidden gems from the brands they've acquired which I probably never would've discovered or have been able to see them otherwise, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who discovered hidden gems from there. I do hope that they can somehow fix this sooner rather than later.
Same really
You would be able to, rental stores and physical movie stores, you simply dont buy the same movie twice, and you can rent new movies every week and buy the ones you love
You are SO UNDERATED 688 SUBS LIKE WHAAT
You missed the fact that Disney wrecked its family-friendly branding by pandering to a bunch of people who hate families.
Disney Got Woke, Went Broke.
Actual wokeness isn't the cheap pandering BS Disney is doing. Like, learn the difference before you come across as a cranky white dude who just wants to be mad. Disney stuff sucks, but not because of whatever you think "woke" means
Agreed they lost me to woke trash.
That is for sure, and more over if not families hating on some group of people be it straight, white, men or what have you making sweeping generalizations about Them, people never seem to get it, you cannot fight hate with more hate nor can you fight anything stemming from it with more of the same like any ism, it is simply a lie, if one does They are no better then the one that committed the damnable act in the fist place, woke-ism seams more about hate and victim hood and self defeatist mentality than anything that brings people together or uplifts Them' to "do better" malice will not heal this world two wrongs do not make a right, nothing They' make has any heart anymore it is just meant to appease ESG, and if people make it known that They' are opposed to this stagnant content, the media always uses the same old dull and broken buckler of a defense " you are all just a bunch of bigots" and you hate this movie because you hate (blank), as there cannot be any other reason, when you focus on one aspect everything else suffers, in this case the writing, characterization, character development and story, all the things that should matter far more as you can let the themes of what you want to tell happen organically, rather than seem forced and tactless.
Are we really surprised? People keep saying I'll only use Disney + subscription when new seasons come out and then cancel. This is what is killing it.
Ive seen this "growth first" mindset and its consequences a lot in tech industry. Things are great at first, with service constantly improving. But once new users aren't coming in, thr company starts squeezing out those they have.
Notice how Netflix ignored accound sharing for years, but decided to crack it down the moment they reported their first ever decrease is subscribers count.
It feels like building a sustainable business model isn't a goal anymore.
They need to bring back more library content like buzz lightyear of star command
This is an incredibly well made video, amazing editing and really engaging visuals, which is unusual from this type of more commentary-based video. Great job
You changed the video title 😂 it used to say “1 year” now a year passed and its still here now you say “2years” 😂
Great put out video, for a channel under 4k, this is amazing overall.
