Streaming by far has taken over everything. When Netflix started streaming, the whole industry changed including movies. Bing watching tv series on DVD was a precursor to streaming and Netflix even described TV on DVD as the fourth network.
I stopped ordering DVD's in the mail when Netflix started streaming and I seems like everyone else did too. When I finally tried to order a DVD in the mail, they had already canceled that service. I had no idea.
Youtube is tops in streaming ratings.

Youtube is tops in streaming ratings. What about Redbox

If this merger goes through, it will reshape the entire industry especially for those working in it. It also concentrates power to David Ellison, Larry Ellison's son.
David Zaslav, Warner Brothers CEO has a mixed record in terms of performance.
Producer Patrick is an industry insider:

A paramount/Warner (HBO) streaming app could be decent

Same here. I run ESPN in my office and thats about it. I will watch maybe 60 - 90 mins of tv at night before shutting down to read. I used to love survivor...but that got so damn fucking old. Especially when the big controversy about the host saying "come on in guys" and the trans community (or whatever group) said it offended them.
I rarely watch any of the UFC PPV. Besides not wanting to stay up until almost 11pm, I got tired of the "I am a warrior in the cage. I would fight to the death"...and then you get the dancing around BS.
I have Netflix (not sure why anymore), YoutubeTV (for my office), and Amazon (just because I have prime account). Fuck all of the streaming services. You can find all their 'exclusive' content online.
