They should at least release physical media or a pay-to-own download of the stuff they're removing for those that actually want it.

Still waiting on my Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Blu-ray that probably won't come out until Netflix dies.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the content that streamers are dumping ends up on a PlutoTV or equivalent channel down the line where they can monetize through commercials. That's the future really which is to say going back to the old way.

It's like if Frito Lay were to offer a three-for-one deal on their bags of Tostitos.

Why would they do that!

I don't think anyone here actually gives a shit about any of the shows Disney is purging. We're just talking about the business model in general.

I found the movie "Crater" to be absolutely delightful

This is what I heard HBO was doing with shows like Westworld that it purged. I looked at the Disney list and many of them were behind the scenes and making-of shows, so I imagine those will just disappear, while the original series will get rented out to small streamers.

Although I can easily imagine a future where Disney does something like what they used to do with DVDs, I.e., put select movies and shows “in the vault” (take them off Disney+) so they can try and push sales in other ways. Wall-E just had a Criterion release, so they’re still committed to physical media in some ways.

I'm looking forward to the free tv apps that all these companies are going to launch. I have PlutoTV on in the background a lot.

I could never go back to commercials. Having to watch them during sports is bad enough.

Yeah, I'd rather pay to rent a movie than watch it on Pluto.

Oh I agree if there is something I really wanna watch I'm not dealing with commercials but I work from home and I'd rather have an old tv show on in the background than cable news or sports debate shows. I just like the idea of having several free tv apps that have a bunch of content I think its good for consumers and will kill cable faster.

Haven’t read the article yet, but will, and I’m wondering if the non-Disney properties will still be on Hulu.

I hope so. They're paying like $8 billion (at least) for it, which I would think means they want all that sweet, sweet content.

Honestly, I can’t think of anything NBC-wise that we really use Hulu to watch. Most of the stuff we watch on there is either Fox or ABC stuff.

When I see this, all I can think of is the price hike.

And that shizz is already in the mouse house. Should be good to go!

So, I'm probably getting Disney+ ...
