There’s a Very Simple Solution to Our Streaming Problem

Slate  

There’s a sexy new streaming service that has everything. Make one payment and you’ll get the Marvel Cinematic Universe, every Disney movie imaginable, and all 12 seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Discovery recently announced that they’ll set aside their competitive impulses and team up, Avengers-style, to offer a super-bundle of their streaming services: Disney+, Hulu, and Max. This isn’t the first streaming bundle—Disney already offers its Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ streaming services together, and Hulu customers can pay for add-ons like Starz and Max. Let’s say you need the ad-free version of Netflix to watch Gilmore Girls, the Disney bundle for sports and kids movies, Max for Last Week Tonight and old episodes of The Sopranos, and Apple TV+ to watch Palm Royale and Friday Night Baseball.
