Disney+ just released today giving Netflix a tough competition. HBO Max will also be released in May 2020. The streaming wars have officially begun. I think it’s fair to say that this might be a 2020s thing. Netflix absolutely dominated the streaming media since the mid 2010s and things are going to shake up intensely in the future.

Many of these new streaming services (other than perhaps the major players such as Disney) will become defunct in the next few years, i'm sure of it. The simple fact is that streaming has become an over-saturated industry and it's only going to become more fragmented over time. An average working classing family isn't going to be able to afford to fork out $10-$15 a month for several streaming services. I mean, they would be looking at spending up to $60 a month if they want the likes of Disney+, Netflix, WWE Network, HBO Max etc. Living expenses are high enough as they are. Some families may have to sacrifice watching some of their favourite shows if it means that they will be able to continue providing food on the table. There are illegal torrents of course, but what if someone wants to watch the NBA or Premier League? You can't illegally download a live match. Also, governments are really starting to crack down on illegal torrents anyway.
It's ironic that people are choosing to cut off their cable service when they may have to pay the same total price (if not more) per month if they want to continue watching all of their favourite shows. At least subscribing to the "basic channel package" on cable offers you a variety of different content for only about $25 a month. You could have to pay half that price just to have access to the streaming rights of movies/shows from the one production company. All this in mind, that's why I wouldn't be surprised if the streaming industry suffers from a downturn of sorts in five years from now. Too much fragmentation.

Unfortunately, I think Disney+ is going to bring upon the end of Netflix. I could easily see Disney buying out Netflix and moving all their original programming to Disney+ in the near future.
Disney is a corporate monopoly that masquerades itself with a warm fuzzy image through nostalgia and family appeal to keep a positive public image while secretly lobbying congressmen and state legislators so they could continue to buy out major companies and solidify their gargantuan control over the entertainment industry. I wish Don Bluth would've destroyed Disney when he had the chance, in hindsight.
Since CD and Vinyl sales are on the rise, I hope we also see a trend where DVD and Blu Ray sales start rising as well, as a counter movement against how streamline entertainment sales are becoming.

Preach. If there’s one thing I want to see from the 2020s, it’s a president who’s willing to break up Disney.

Sling TV and Youtube TV is already killing Cable tv options and the price point is 25-35 dollars without a contract, in the states of course. Not sure if your country has that yet I think PS VUE is there maybe.

Disney plus is already removing tons of content from Netflix sadly
