I understood why. These people are used to having some control over the distribution method over their content. Universal owns USA, TruTV, NBC, but with streaming services replacing TV channels they probably want thay same level of control.
Peacock failing makes no sense to me. People love to binge comedies and NBC has made tons of them. Especially since many of their shows (like The Office) were shows people got Netflix for, I’m interested in why people didn’t make the switch to Peacock.
Because after looking at my checking account and seeing Hulu, prime with various channels and Netflix every month, I bought a VPN yearly subscription and sail the high seas instead of adding another recurring charge for a service that will inevitably lose shows or splinter into yet another app
Not only that, but all those fragmented streaming services keep increasing prices.
You get more bang for you buck with services outside of peacock. Peacocks draw (at least for people I know) was old reruns of favourite shows. Even if you didn’t want a VPN and a sail, you can buy the DVDs or bluerays.
Disney +, Netflix, Prime for all their issues, create new content that people want.
Yep, we’ve reached the point where it’s basically old cable pricing just split into chunks. Investing in a VPN and hard drive is cheaper and now I have all of those shows on demand forever.
Also great username, just made me realize I had read the first two books but never caught the third so maybe I’ll do that tomorrow instead of watching election horror

I’m late to reply here, but I hope you’re reading instead of wallowing.
If I may,
Book 3 ties it all together nicely. If you enjoyed the trilogy, there are 3 stand-alone ones that follow.
Book 4 is good but sets up a lot of stuff
Book 5 is awesome because you get a lot of insight to the Northmen
Book 6 is great, no spoilers.
