    A Disney monopoly in streaming? Further consolidation wouldn’t be the worst thing at this point. There are too many competing services.

        Have you looked at Hulu’s add-ons? You can get sports packages, movie packages, random-ass-bunch-of-channels packages. Sound familiar?

      Hulu was always Disney though. It was there content that started with it. Buying Fox was the consolidation.
