I'll stick to my Blu-rays, thank you very much.
I fully expect the entire streaming thing to collapse within a few years. -
I'm pretty sure the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences doesn't have many members that can't afford a streaming service -- which a good chunk of America can't.
Steaming doesn't seem viable for expansion beyond what it is now.

Physical Media ain't going nowhere either. It'll never be as big but i know a guy who runs a major DVD distribution company here in Canada. From what he tells me, business is booming.Places to find PlaidStallions online: https://linktr.ee/Plaidstallions

It’s doesn’t matter to me either way...as I have everything...Xfinity Premium package with OnDemand, Disney Plus/Hulu/ESPN+, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV Plus...and I’m going to sign up for CBS Access to watch Picard (could care less about Discovery though)...

Agreed.
Having worked in the Streaming industry for the past decade, it is permanent and here to stay. As Brian stated, mergers and acquisitions are in the making and the younger generation is ingesting this technology and soon you can stream everything to your vehicle which will become the new home or office.
It's here to stay but it will likely be a much different landscape in the next five years, mergers, acquisitions and closures. There is a lot of money on the table but eventually, consumers will become overwhelmed. I guess we may be down to a half dozan options by then. Until then it's a golden age for people in film and TV production!

Speaking from experience, streaming isn't going anywhere. The investment from cable and cell companies for faster pipelines is all about video service.
I used to believe mergers were on the horizon, but we're seeing a real holdout and lack of buying interest. Hulu was the litmus test. Comcast could've bought it out or Disney could've closed it. Neither happened. It has no real purpose other than nudging Netflix from another angle.Comment

Streaming services are here to stay. That's a given no argument there. The prevailing prediction that physical media was going the way of the dinosaurs is what was dead wrong.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment
