Netflix vs Disney: Who’s Winning the Streaming War?

Interesting look at the battle between Netflix and Disney for stream superiority. Right now Disney's family of streaming platforms (Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+) have barely passed Netflix (221.1 million subs for Disney's family of platforms vs 220.7 million for Netflix).

Both platforms have their own flaws. Think ad supported tiers will actually turn off subscribers for Netflix while Disney's platforms relies upon extensive libraries of content that are being played out. How many times can you watch the "classic" Star Wars or MCU films and the new offerings in those genres are mostly dreck.

Wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be the apex for subscribers for both.

  1. We just ended our Netflix account. Never watched it because it was too hard to find anything to watch.

    We do watch Amazon Prime video now and again, but mostly for The Grand Tour.
