    Quality will go down for all 3 and now they’ll cancel even more shows before they complete.

    Good to see the free market in action. I’m sure this merge will be good for consumers, encourage innovation, and ensure that the barriers to entry are not set too high.

    Aw man, HBO was the only streaming service I kind of liked.

    Was it mainly for Studio Ghibli movies? Yes.

    Can’t wait for the price hikes to continue.
