Comcast splitting up businesses

[harshness]

DTC content owners? what are you even blabbering about?

DTC = Direct-To-Consumer. This is the approach that HBO, Disney, and other major streaming players have adopted as alternatives to the cable/satellite TV delivery model. Cutting out the middleman is often an attractive goal (assuming you're set up to deal directly with customers).

Welcome to the 21st century!

And once they get the masses to streaming, they control all content and control prices. So suppliers like YTTV , either jacks up prices or decide to get out of the game......This removes competition and leaves everything in a few hands.

And has resulted in a resurgence of piracy.

I know what DTC is and stands for. Your condescending response doesn't actually address what content owners that are supposedly left in the cold by traditional distribution has to do with Comcast's splitting or a possible merger with Spectrum.

Any content owners that don't have a DTC pipeline, even if that pipeline is straight up youtube or instagram videos, are clearly not serious about their business model and are just along for the free lunch that is cable.

You didn't comprehend my response.

If, after enough mergers, the remaining cable company decides not to strike a deal with you, you've lost the majority of your customer base.

Helpful hint

Your still being condescending

I see it more as a matter of fact that, from the standpoint of a cable channel (or collection of cable channels), having a single outlet (one big cable company) enables that juggernaut to exert absolute control over your future. It seems rather obvious to me, but perhaps not to others.

You lecturing anyone about harmonious posting technique is quite a reach.

I believe he did so, in hopes of receiving a response from you, you are the one who fell for it.
