Agree. I'll probably subscribe to Disney+ day 1 too but it's getting expensive to have all these different streaming subscriptions.

I still subscribe to traditional cable for Flames hockey mostly (and my wife likes the typical cable trash still) but the cost is getting crazy as the content get's more fragmented across all these different platforms.

Cable Package: $65
Netflix: $15
DAZN: $20
Disney+: $15 (guessing)
Prime: $7 (More for the delivery service than the Video though)

I'm intrigued to see what happens with Netflix. They are going to keep bleeding content as the traditional parties introduce their own platforms (Disney, WB, etc) and while they have done a good job with their Netflix Originals I'm not sure that will be enough to keep growing.

Looking at it now too and it's kind of funny because now there is probably an opportunity for someone to come in an bundle services up again almost like a cable provider. I know TELUS recently started offering Netflix as an option as part of their theme pack choices.
