A Disney monopoly in streaming? Further consolidation wouldn’t be the worst thing at this point. There are too many competing services.

So just cable 2.0, I'm sure they wouldn't screw us again right? /s

Have you looked at Hulu’s add-ons? You can get sports packages, movie packages, random-ass-bunch-of-channels packages. Sound familiar?

Hulu was always Disney though. It was there content that started with it. Buying Fox was the consolidation.
