is pricing really the sticking point for most streaming consumers? raccacoonie Apr 19, 15:47

its more over saturation in the SVOD space and growth in the AVOD. It's a lot to subscribe to 4-10 services {nm} Moviesnob Apr 19, 16:07

Mediocre content IMO................. HBO and AMAZON doing far more interesting content... APPLE has a few gems also gogreenytd Apr 19, 16:16
