Netflix Will Be the Exclusive US TV Home of Disney, Marvel, Lucasfilm and Pixar
I find it funny that when exclusivity is ever brought up it's talked about like some kind of conspiracy to take money from customers. It isn't a conspiracy and there aren't men in boardrooms laughing menacingly while smoking cigars. The truth is this is just the result of how the system works. That is capitalism and normal competition.<p>If all the streaming services offer the same content then none of them are special. And if one service ends up offering something you can only get from them then they have a leg up on the competition. Soon other services start trying to compete by getting exclusive content and eventually anyone who doesn't play the game is pushed out.<p>If we're serious about hating exclusive and if we want to move away from them then you need to talk about the system that causes it to happen.
