Disney Cancelling Partnership with Netflix

[Chriskent13]

I just found out that Disney will be pulling its content off of Netflix and starting their own streaming services by 2019.  For me this is a little frustrating because now I am going to have to pay for two services instead of one. 

How do you all feel about Disney's decision?  Will you subscribe to Disney's services and Netflix?

It won't affect our family...but, if it did I'd be angry.  I hope that Disney gets a truckload of negative feedback...and perhaps thinks better of putting its loyal customers second and its shareholders first.

This does not affect me. I don't think it is the smartest idea of Disney though because people won't want to pay for another service.

I heard about this news from Jim Cramer on Tuesday when Disney's quarterly earnings came out.  He explained why he thought Disney's CEO had to come up with something with the losses they had been experiencing.  Disney thinks what it has to offer will stand on its own just like its theme parks.  It doesn't affect me, but I do believe Netflix subscribers will be confused and mad, too.

We do not have netflix so it does not effect us.  It does suck for all the families that will have to have both.

It was a matter of time. I would look into the prices and see what all Disney has to offer before saying yes or no to using their service.

I agree with you amyDAST.  It was just a matter of time until Disney started streaming their own.  I probably won't be subscribing though.  One service is enough for me.

All them people care about is making money, and if they get more while we get less it's going to happen.

I personally don't like Netflix due to their ethics, but my husband bout a NVIDIA shield and we canceled all our subscriptions. It comes with Kodi which streams it all free. The NVIDIA also has a gaming controller and comes with a game streaming thing which is great if you have kids.

Don't have either so no impact

[gsdoss]

We have Netflix and like them

It doesn't really affect me bc I don't care about Disney that much, but I think it's an unpleasant thing to do. Hopefully people realize how unnecessary it is and it'll tank.

It won't effect me much, cause I don't watch Netflix for Disney stuff...It sucks that Netflix will ultimately suffer. Plus, I heard they are already in debt (prior to this announcement). Disney is extremely GREEDY...Who has the money to pay for all these different services? They (Disney) most likely won't be at the top of peoples priorities. So this new venture will probably fail.

I don't have netflix but I think Disney is doing a bad idea. a lot of customers they will lose doing that.  not their wisest decision.

Disney owns Netflix, they just want to double their money.
