hey all Scott here can you imagine what
[2]
life is gonna be like in 2019 we'll have
[4]
more air no more murder immortality and
[7]
like two subscription services so I was
[13]
eating cereal this morning and it was
[14]
[聽__聽] dreadful thanks for asking
[16]
oh my god I'm only $7.99 a month away
[18]
from not watching anything subscription
[20]
services are a corporation's best friend
[22]
like getting money for one thing once
[23]
when you could get money for one thing
[25]
Lots this is the hip new thing now in
[27]
the entertainment industry paying a
[28]
monthly fee Dweck's has some zinc
[30]
service online companies are trying to
[31]
attach a subscription model to every
[33]
medium out there film music video games
[35]
storage units it's all about obtaining a
[37]
continuous flow of money regardless of
[39]
the product offered as an example you
[41]
buy one $20 digital movie on the
[43]
PlayStation Store first off on me add to
[45]
my list of people I don't trust
[46]
and secondly that was just a one and
[48]
done purchase you paid $20 for own movie
[49]
it's time to move on it's over but with
[52]
a subscription service that offers
[53]
movies you have to pay a monthly fee to
[55]
watch the films on it the monthly fee is
[57]
usually pretty low which makes us the
[59]
more attractive option to most people a
[61]
lot of people just want to be able to
[62]
watch movies whenever they want they
[63]
don't really care what movie it is they
[64]
just want something to combat the
[65]
loneliness but as the months roll by you
[68]
keep paying the fee people who would
[70]
only buy a few movies a year end up
[71]
continuously paying for these services
[72]
they might forget to use after a couple
[74]
of weeks that's how they get shot I
[75]
always that $5 left over at the end of
[77]
the month might as well give it to Apple
[78]
TV plus for doing nothing they earned it
[80]
of course the subscription model
[81]
wouldn't be offered if people weren't
[83]
supporting it it works really well for a
[84]
lot of things some truly offer value
[87]
that make them a no-brainer to subscribe
[88]
to and then some just taste bad
[91]
subscription services are flooding our
[93]
screen bricks every single company
[94]
thinks there she doesn't stink and they
[96]
can make their own service CBS all
[97]
access is pretty much the same thing as
[99]
saltines plus who wanted this who said
[101]
cut now if CBS had a subscription
[102]
service and a follow me the whole
[105]
subscription trend in the industry truly
[107]
started with Netflix so Netflix right it
[109]
was all about renting DVDs online
[111]
delivered by mail no late fees what an
[113]
idea because everybody knew the worst
[115]
aspect of going to the video store to
[116]
rent a movie was going to the video
[118]
store to rent a movie but after a while
[119]
Netflix start to offer something amazing
[121]
something that changed the entertainment
[123]
industry forever streaming video
[125]
on-demand videos on demand was and still
[128]
is the most terrifying term of all time
[130]
to me it means those elusive movies for
[132]
sale through your
[133]
subscription I felt like if I wasn't
[134]
careful enough I'd actually buy a
[136]
college semester worth of movies but now
[137]
you see streaming video on demand
[138]
through Netflix was so much breezier
[140]
opera does a part of your Netflix
[142]
membership you could instantly watch so
[143]
many different movies and TV shows
[144]
through the power of Netgear now I
[146]
jumped on the Netflix train around 2011
[148]
or so I nabbed a free trial downloaded
[151]
the Netflix app on my wii and enjoyed so
[153]
so much content pretty much almost any
[156]
movie or TV show you searched up on
[157]
Netflix it was there they had such a
[159]
wealth of stuff available to watch and
[161]
burley nine bones a month I knew I saved
[163]
this for something Netflix is amazing
[166]
Netflix is ok various companies saw how
[170]
well Netflix was doing how much people
[172]
started preferring just having a Netflix
[173]
subscription compared to just the cable
[175]
box and over all the money that could be
[176]
made from an ongoing subscription model
[179]
and I like what I have to subscribe to
[180]
like five different abs to get all the
[182]
stuff I used to get with just Netflix
[183]
Hulu used to be a website focused on
[185]
offering episodes of TV shows for free
[186]
the day after they aired now it's just a
[190]
shitty or Netflix Amazon Prime instant
[192]
video yeah everybody has it because
[195]
everybody has Amazon Prime I enjoy
[196]
spending 119 dollars a year for faster
[199]
shipping on products but apparently a
[200]
part of that offer I get Amazon's own
[202]
version of Netflix books it you take
[204]
instant video out of my Amazon Prime
[205]
membership
[205]
I wouldn't even blink and then of course
[207]
we have the newcomers Apple TV Plus and
[209]
Disney Plus now Disney Plus was created
[211]
because Disney owns 29% of the world the
[213]
other 71% is water and they obviously
[215]
felt like they had enough content of
[217]
their own to push their own service
[218]
rather than just licence at all to
[219]
Netflix that's fair enough
[222]
now Apple made Apple TV plus because I
[225]
don't know they were bored and then we
[227]
have HBO now CBS all access Starz
[229]
peacock DC Universe ah for [聽__聽] sake I
[232]
hate this it's just irritating all these
[235]
corporations are pumping everybody up
[236]
like look guys or make your own
[237]
subscription service it's gonna be great
[239]
when they used to put all their content
[241]
on Netflix and Hulu a few years ago how
[243]
am I supposed to respond to that like oh
[245]
yeah I can't wait to spend ten more
[247]
dollars a month on something I used to
[248]
have access to but you ripped away from
[249]
me oh yeah no I maintain the opinion
[252]
that Netflix is the best overall I think
[254]
it offers the best variety of content
[255]
with welcome movies and TV shows for all
[257]
different kinds of people pretty much
[258]
anybody and everybody would be fairly
[260]
content with a subscription to Netflix
[261]
however if you can't find a TV show you
[263]
want to watch it that means it's
[264]
probably on Hulu
[266]
makes me wince they've got an incredible
[267]
roster of TV shows on here and like two
[270]
movies but I despise how the app is set
[272]
up I can see only three options at once
[274]
and only see one image for the one I'm
[276]
selecting I should be getting an
[277]
allowance for browsing this I do like
[279]
that you can subscribe to Hulu with
[280]
advertisements included for less money I
[282]
subscribe to a lot of adla stuff so I
[284]
don't see a ton of commercials anymore
[285]
and sometimes I feel like I'm out of the
[287]
loop on the ads people hate watching
[288]
Amazon Prime video No okay first off
[291]
Amazon why are you even trying to
[293]
compete against Netflix if you're not
[294]
even going to invest in making a decent
[296]
video player and then the selection oh
[298]
my god they should rename Amazon Prime
[300]
video to puppet movies and Friends it
[302]
seems that pretty much anybody can make
[303]
their content available through Amazon
[304]
Prime and it shows but what did the show
[306]
you want to watch isn't on any of these
[308]
services well it's probably on one of
[310]
the apps and nobody gives a [聽__聽] about
[311]
Netflix used to be incredible
[313]
I loved it but now I feel like companies
[314]
just keep pulling their stuff up just to
[316]
make their own streaming service and I
[317]
personally find it kind of dumb in some
[319]
cases take for example the office became
[321]
more popular than some religions in
[322]
recent years and you want to know why
[324]
because it was on Netflix then NBC said
[327]
we'll make our own streaming service and
[328]
put the office on it exclusively stop it
[331]
the office experienced a huge resurgence
[333]
in popularity because of Netflix
[335]
everybody has Netflix and seeing the
[336]
offices icon mocking you on the app
[338]
constantly qualify from put he's bound
[340]
to watch the full series three times in
[341]
a row at some point now forcing people
[343]
to subscribe to an infinitely inferior
[344]
streaming service with less original
[346]
content and less old content which costs
[348]
roughly the same price well say goodbye
[350]
to the growing popularity of the office
[352]
NBC liking this show behind your own app
[354]
makes it less likely people who weren't
[356]
even born when the office premiered are
[357]
going to discover it for the first time
[359]
I mean peacock is fundamentally going to
[361]
be a streaming service for the office at
[362]
this point who's subscribing to this
[364]
thing for Punky Brewster
[365]
you'll appeal to people who are already
[366]
fans of the show but you're making it a
[369]
lot harder for people to become new fans
[370]
of it this way and then there's DC
[372]
Universe a streaming service for DC
[374]
Comics content why at least with Marvel
[377]
content that's a part of Disney Plus
[378]
which is less expensive than DC Universe
[380]
and it includes a larger variety of
[382]
content see this is how I see things DC
[384]
has their own streaming service great
[385]
good for them I knew they could do it
[386]
someday they get all the money from
[387]
people subscribing to that but the fact
[389]
a lot of this content is locked behind a
[391]
DC centric streaming service that means
[393]
it's only going to appeal to DC fans for
[396]
what reason would somebody who's never
[398]
seen DC content before so
[399]
grab two DC Universe loneliness if DC
[401]
partner with Netflix or Hulu or even
[403]
yeah they want to immediately get as
[405]
much money from that but they'd get more
[406]
exposure more people would be able to
[408]
watch this stuff and have chances to
[409]
become fans of DC content and does you'd
[412]
sell more merchandise and movie tickets
[413]
all these companies think they can have
[415]
their own streaming services it's just
[416]
getting kind of ridiculous if you need
[418]
one service just kidding definitely so
[419]
you get the most variety and good
[420]
content with that subscription Hulu is
[422]
fine I think they have a better roster
[423]
of TV shows but I hate browsing the
[425]
green lagoon and then Amazon Prime video
[427]
I always see myself saying oh this
[430]
exists but of course that's just the
[431]
movies and TV show subscription services
[433]
you know how things roll around here I
[435]
love all things this and yeah video
[437]
games are starting to be pushed into the
[438]
subscription service model see pretty
[440]
much most of the big game companies are
[442]
pushing their own services and I'm at
[444]
the idea of having a Netflix tile app
[445]
for games it's amazing in concept movies
[449]
and video games are far more different
[450]
than they initially seem see I keep
[452]
subscribing to Netflix because I get
[454]
thousands of movies and TV shows I can
[456]
just pop on in the background while I'm
[457]
busy evading or I can watch some stuff
[459]
at the edge of my seat movies are much
[461]
more flexible in terms of how you can
[462]
consume them they're much less of a time
[464]
sink there's not much of investment you
[466]
have to make to watch one playing video
[468]
games requires you to be much more
[469]
deliberately invested that many games
[471]
take 10 plus hours to play through and
[472]
it's not like I can just throw a video
[474]
game on in the background I'm actively
[475]
controlling it that entire time to me
[477]
I'm much more invested in picking a game
[479]
I'm gonna sit down and play a convert to
[480]
picking a movie I'm gonna watch no man
[482]
well let's take a look at the video game
[483]
subscription services see if they can
[485]
win me over well there we have EA access
[486]
5 dollars a month for access to the
[489]
entirety of EA we can play FIFA 20 feet
[491]
by 19 FIFA 18 FIFA 17 fifa 16 fifa 15 s
[495]
so EA access gives us free trial / early
[498]
access to new EA games as well as an
[500]
unlimited supply of EA classics
[501]
unlimited equals 30 the game library is
[504]
more robust on Xbox one some Xbox 360
[507]
data is available a part of that
[508]
subscription but here on PlayStation 4
[510]
I'm gonna throw it out there EA you did
[512]
it you officially change the definition
[514]
of value having the past couple of
[515]
Madden's and FIFA's take up a good chunk
[517]
of the huge collection of games
[518]
available is like Netflix having the
[520]
past five months of The Weather Channel
[521]
available these games have downloaded
[523]
onto your system and you can do all
[524]
kinds of things like play them it's just
[527]
not a great variety of games here and
[529]
most of the games available for free a
[530]
part of the subscription aren't
[532]
thing anymore on top without a lot of
[534]
these games aren't good well maybe five
[537]
bucks a month but we can get it for $30
[538]
a year and okay I mean the trial access
[542]
to the newer game says up to ten hours
[543]
can be played for free and that's pretty
[545]
generous I think there's some value to
[547]
that just like how there's some value to
[549]
death like thank god there's no way
[551]
access in the afterlife will you be
[552]
stopped as their own take on the
[553]
subscription service you play Plus it's
[555]
all about spending fifty bucks a month
[559]
makes this one of the most expensive
[560]
subscription services and offer what uno
[563]
Rayman forever
[564]
you play Plus features over 100 titles
[567]
most of which are significantly less
[568]
than $15 right now the service includes
[570]
recently released Ubisoft titles as a
[572]
part of your subscription but there
[574]
Ubisoft titles okay those things go on
[576]
sale a week before they release also I
[578]
don't know who would ever say that you
[579]
know what I love Ubisoft and only
[581]
Ubisoft I wish there was a subscription
[583]
service for me oh my god contrary to
[586]
popular belief there is such a thing as
[588]
too much Ubisoft well it's jumping to
[590]
the big boys here we have PlayStation
[591]
now Sony's big subscription service this
[594]
is primarily focused around streaming
[595]
the games to your console or PC it's
[597]
truly like Netflix for games and just
[599]
like Netflix it's fine PlayStation now
[602]
was pretty much created as Sony's way of
[603]
making PlayStation 3 games playable and
[605]
God forbid something other than the
[606]
PlayStation 3 had a possess a heart
[608]
infrastructure which makes playing its
[610]
games on other Hardware difficult to do
[612]
so they had to take the hardware and
[613]
stream the games being played over to
[615]
your hardware and the end result was
[617]
surprisingly alright not great but far
[620]
from unplayable there are a few ps2 and
[622]
ps4 games playable here but the bulk of
[624]
the lineup is ps3 and it's crate they
[626]
have ratatouille for PlayStation 3 you
[628]
don't see that on EA access the
[630]
graphical quality is almost like a
[631]
YouTube video you know some videos when
[633]
you stream them look a little washed out
[634]
or blurry yeah yeah that's PlayStation
[636]
now games now the ps4 titles can be
[638]
downloaded to your system which is a
[640]
nice feature and the price point is
[641]
rock-solid 10 bucks a month with actual
[644]
games people want to play right now can
[645]
you thrown on the service recently yeah
[647]
back when blaze aged and now first
[648]
started up I remembered you needed a
[649]
subscription and on top of that you had
[651]
to rent most of the games oh man how
[653]
could one Sony be so stupid right now
[655]
PlayStation now streaming isn't perfect
[657]
but it works fine enough for games I
[659]
require pinpoint precision playing them
[660]
through the internet is a death sentence
[662]
book instead are a little looser with
[663]
how you control them work alright but
[665]
you
[665]
the streaming games has always worked
[670]
but it's never been ideal in my opinion
[672]
that's where Xbox game pass comes in the
[675]
Messiah of gaming subscription services
[677]
Cape S has a library that is crazy good
[680]
pretty much any of the Xbox exclusives
[682]
you want including all the recently
[683]
released ones day and day alongside the
[685]
standard release tons of third-party
[687]
offerings old games new games games from
[689]
all different kinds of genres all
[690]
downloadable to your console playable
[692]
offline best part about it it's ten
[694]
bucks a month and is usually on sale for
[696]
like one
[697]
well there's also Nintendo switch online
[699]
we get a bunch of jank NES games for
[701]
signing up and some pretty solid SNES
[703]
games as well it's $20 a year ok it's
[706]
fine alright so let's wrap everything up
[708]
with these subscription services alright
[711]
Netflix they're pretty good as good as
[713]
they used to be buffet
[714]
none of us are so it gets a B all right
[717]
Hulu that's a mighty fine selection of
[719]
TV shows they have there and their
[721]
layout reminds me that I still feel pain
[723]
it legitimately stops me from using the
[725]
app most of the time so fake it 8c
[727]
Amazon Prime video so first off
[730]
navigating Amazon Prime on any device is
[732]
a half-baked slog of a time and the
[733]
selection is Netflix and Hulu table
[736]
scraps deep alright Apple TV plus you
[739]
get a why for why Disney Plus not bad
[743]
they have a lot of content but I still
[745]
feel like Netflix are superior because
[746]
it has a wider range of content I feel
[749]
like Disney Plus caters to a lot of
[751]
specific fans but I still feel like
[753]
Netflix is better for generally
[755]
everybody so B minus PA access and this
[758]
is one of the most unnecessary
[759]
subscriptions of all time ea doesn't
[761]
create a broad enough range of content
[763]
to really warrant having a subscription
[764]
it would have gotten an F but the fact
[766]
it's $30 a year and you have a lot of
[769]
trials of newly released games where you
[771]
can play for up to 10 hours D - you did
[774]
it EA you played Plus will go down in
[776]
history as Ubisoft expensive
[778]
subscription service that absolutely
[779]
nobody subscribed to I've been waiting
[781]
for the past 10 seconds to give another
[782]
fee - PlayStation now back in the day it
[785]
was laughing stock right now B - now
[788]
Xbox game pass is pretty much a better
[790]
version of PlayStation now you don't get
[792]
as many games as you do with PlayStation
[793]
now but you download all the games to
[795]
your system which means you don't have
[796]
to worry about the problems that arise
[797]
with streaming you get eight
[799]
new releases and with PlayStation now
[801]
the newest games that are on that
[803]
service are about a year old so be +10
[806]
Nintendo switch online it is $20 a year
[809]
which means it gets a pass
[811]
so subscription services something offer
[813]
value some definitely not it can be
[815]
really convenient to have all this
[816]
content available to you for a small
[818]
monthly fee but it can get really
[819]
irritating how every single company
[821]
thinks they can start their own also
[824]
Netflix doesn't accept check by mail
[826]
what the hell now I personally think
[827]
video games aren't the greatest fit for
[829]
the Netflix model even with game pass
[831]
you have to wait for the games to
[832]
download and with streaming there's too
[834]
many downsides it still takes a while to
[836]
load on PlayStation now and quality
[838]
takes a bit of a hit and there is input
[840]
lag but overall my main takeaway about
[842]
all of this is we don't need this many
[849]
[Applause]
[852]
