Why you don't really want Big TV to bring back 'the bundle' for your streaming services like Hulu, Max, and Netflix
- Big media companies are trying to bring back the bundle for streaming services like Hulu, Max, and Netflix.
- However, the old-timey bundle was a terrible way to watch, and pay for, TV, sold as a take-it-or-leave-it package, you pay for channels you don't watch.
- Moreover, it was a prerequisite for some things you might want, like HBO or Showtime and the cable industry made it difficult to unsubscribe from it.
- The Big TV companies are not bringing back the old bundle; they're losing money running their streaming services and think the bundles could help save money on marketing.
- They think the bundles will make you less likely to cancel your subscription as it is tied to other streaming services.
- However, while Comcast CEO Brian Roberts promises a bundle at a vastly reduced price, pricing jobs tend to increase.
- The bad news: smaller companies could, sooner or later, get swallowed by bigger ones leading to cost-cutting wherever they can, which certainly includes programming.
- The TV companies are already cutting on new programming after a decade-long "peak TV" boom.
- In conclusion, the old-timey bundle was a terrible way to watch, and paying for TV and unless you work at a Big TV company, you don't want the bundle to come back.
- Moreover, there isn't a single screen where you can see everything you are subscribing to and whoever controls that screen would be very powerful.
