    Curious to see whether they combine HBO and Netflix. In the article netflix answers in an ambiguous way.

    I bet they are trying to calculate whether this will bring in less money if they combine them, because they can’t just jack up the price of netflix subscription to double immediately after the merging of the two platforms. Many have both Netflix and HBO subscription so it might actually reduce the revenue.

      I’m sure they’ll find a way to make it worse and more expensive than before. They never fail to do so. Line must go up.

    Good to see the free market in action. I’m sure this merge will be good for consumers, encourage innovation, and ensure that the barriers to entry are not set too high.
