$VZ (+1.37%) cooperates with $NFLX (+1.17%) and $WBD (-0.37%) to offer a "discount streaming bundle" for about $10 per month that includes ad-supported versions. The agreement includes minimum revenue guarantees for Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery.

It would be great if more streaming services did this. Preferably in a unified platform that is operated by all license holders. It's just annoying to book countless services individually and deal with rotating streaming catalogs. Piracy will only gain momentum as a result 🏴‍☠️

@KapriolenCapital I'm not sure whether people will pay significantly for streaming only to be annoyed by advertising? Personally, I'd rather pay a little more or not pay at all. But I think piracy has really increased again due to the fragmentation of the streaming market.

@Schubi74 Yes, I mean no advertising for it, I had forgotten. I think it's stupid enough at the movies that there's still advertising even though you pay for tickets...

Is it probably just a basic version where you can stream on HD? That would give me eye cancer and I'd have to upgrade again. A lot of air about nothing for sure 🥵😄☝️ PS: Don't use either.
