Peacock finished the second quarter of 2023 with 24 million subscribers.
Somewhere at NBC there was an analyst who told the execs that this was a terrible idea that was going to lose a ton of money and the execs ignored that person and did it anyway.

Got to hand it to Sony for not falling for the create your own streaming app trap. Everyone else tried to battle Netflix and they are all losing even Disney. I think there will be at least 3 dead apps by the end of next year. MGM+ being an obvious one. I can see Disney+/Hulu, Max, Netflix, and maybe one other one coming out of this alive.

I think Apple TV+ will also survive, simple because Apple’s business model permits loss leader services like that (or Apple Music is or Apple Fitness). The whole thing is basically one big elaborate iPhone ad.

WB / Discovery doing their best to Fuck Max up. They can survive solely on HBO content tho
