I believe that was two seasons and done. Unless she changes her mind!
I’d always love more but the ending of season two was perfect.
A meta thread for video streaming services - Netflix, Hulu, Disney, HBO, Warner, Prime, AppleTV, etc
It’s kind of weird that these CBS flagship shows like Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon are on HBO Max and are not Paramount+ exclusives.
I noticed in an ad for Disney+ in front of a Youtube video that had the Futurama Planet Express ship zipping around, and that made me wonder - does Disney now own Futurama and maybe even The Simpsons now? I know they picked up part of Fox’s movie business but did they get their TV stuff as well, or is this just an easter egg kind of thing in an ad?
They definitely own the Simpsons. They’ve been pushing it hard on Disney+ since Day One, and they’ve been making new short Simpsons specials for Disney+ too.
I haven’t noticed any Futurama. I’m not sure where the rights are for that show. I know it started on Fox then went to Paramount networks, right?
Edit: Looks like they’ve got 10 seasons streaming on Hulu (which is also owned by Disney). So maybe Disney owns Futurama too?
Yeah, per Wikipedia, 20th Television (what used to be 20th Century Fox) is the distributor. I assume it’s on Hulu because Disney wants to keep Disney+ appropriate for little kids, though honestly the Simpsons can be just as adult-themed as Futurama at times.
Wat?
Who is paying that much? My Sling + Amazon channel subs are like $65 a month.
They include Hello Fresh and Chewy…
WTF are they talking about non-tv subscription services, lol.
If we are talking ALL subscription services, doesn’t that include electricity, water, etc?
Are they counting the entire cost of Prime?
Amazon Prime
Beauty subscription boxes
Book services
Children’s subscription boxes
Cloud storage
Dating apps
Diet/fitness apps
Digital newspapers/magazines
Fashion subscription boxes
Gaming services
Home security systems
Identity protection service
Lifestyle subscription boxes
Meal services
Mobile phone service
Music streaming
Pet’s subscription boxes
TV/movie services
Web hosting
Wellness apps
WiFi at home
Why would you include things like Wifi and mobile phone service but not electricity, gas, etc?
$10 Spotify
$10 Adobe
$10 Amazon Prime ($119/year, which is essentially $10/month)
$15 HBO Max
$10 for my 247 sports subscription to my college team. But as 247 is owned by Paramount/CBS, that includes Paramount+
$37 Netflix. I get the HD Netflix stream, but I’m also on the 3-disc Blu-Ray plan.
$3.33 Microsoft/Office 365. I have a cheat because I’m part of a Friends & Family plan at the Company eStore. Getting the $100 Microsoft 365 yearly package for $40 is nice.
Game Pass Ultimate is weird because I did the Gold conversion thing a year ago and won’t have to pay again until September 2022. But when I eventually do have to pay for it, the Company eStore again has it for like half the price of regular.
I mean, in a real sense, basically all of my monthly costs except for food, gas, credit card interest, and one-off “fun” purchases like a videogame or concert are basically subscriptions of a sort. Rent, subscribing to a condo. Power, subscribing to modernity. Cellphone, health/care/renter’s insurance, cable internet, Patreon, YTTV, CPAP supplies, streaming services, music service, RPG services, news subs. . . plus annual stuff like Amazon Prime, webhosting/domains, car taxes, Google One. . . well over half my monthly expenses are “subscriptions” depending how you define it :)
As far as I can tell, because the point of the survey isn’t so much how much people are spending on these things, but how much they underestimate they are (about two thirds, on average). Presumably they think people have a good handle on utilities.
If we’re including utilities like internet and cable I’m well over the average, if we’re not I’m well under.
I guess I can give this a try too
$70 for Google Fiber
$45 for Google Fi phone service for me and my wife
$15 HBO Max
$4 or so for Game Pass Ultimate
$4 or so for PS+
$12 for Humble Bundle
$2 for Paramount+
$2+ for Washington Post
So I guess total of $154 per month. The bulk of it is internet and phone, obviously.
EDIT: Forgot about $29 a year for Washington Post subscription, added it in.
But what about the Patreons you support? Gotta add those, too!
i remember directv used to cost $180 / month. No internet included. $39.99 for chinese crap, HBO/Cinemax, basic, fees, etc it all adds up.
Christ almighty. Channel 4, which already has the most ads of any streaming service I’ve ever used, has started showing static ads when you pause a show.
I bought a whole year of HBO max before realizing that it looks like shit on the ps5 which is my primary streaming system. Looks like crap even on older non-4K stuff and doesn’t support 4K at all.
Streaming through my 4 year old Samsung tv using Wi-Fi looks much better than the ps5 which is hard wired.
First world problems and all but it makes me angry.
Also the motivating factor for subscribing was to watch dune and I didn’t realize they pulled the new movies after theatrical release after a month (only to put them back several months later?!?!).
So this has just been a big pile of fail all around.
Westworld is amazing though.
