Streaming services decline for first time!

[Neil Jones]

It’s a hackneyed old phrase but “content is king” and based on that rather flimsy premise I think that the survivors from this downturn will be (in no specific order)
Disney+, Now TV, Amazon and Netflix.

Far more likely the content library of the smaller ones will be sold/merged and will expand the library of who it gets sold to. Lovefilm back in the days of when DVD rental was a thing what they didn't already run/power they went and bought, hoovering everybody else out the market, and then it all ended up in the hands of Amazon.

If the same thing happens in the streaming market then the likely winner will be either Disney or Amazon, since both have deeper pockets than Netflix but I feel we may be getting ahead of ourselves. Reading the initial reports anybody would think the company didn't have two pennies to rub together.
