Warner announces new three-tiered streaming service, because online media wasn't complicated enough
One of these days, the human race is going to come together, track down Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, and violently start shaking him while screaming “What the fuck did you do, man?” It’s become a recurring joke over the last year or so that you’re nobody in the world of content delivery—what we used to call “makin’ the teevee”— if you don’t have your own branded, expensive, and exclusive streaming service, serving the dedicated niche of fans who are truly invested in the fates of whatever the fuck CBS or D.C. Universe have found to dump onto the online garbage heap this year in between the handful of shows we actually want to watch. For every dead Seeso, after all, there’s a Disney+ just waiting to swoop in and make its new demands on your attention, bandwidth, and password retention skills, so why wouldn’t WarnerMedia wander into the fray with its own, even more complicated spin on the new internet reality, huh?
