    Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime aren’t going anywhere since their parent companies have infinite money to burn on streaming. For this reason alone I think these two services are more likely to survive in the long run than Disney+ or Netflix. There’s also Max, which has some great content but I’m not as confident it’ll still be around in 10 years.

      In Europe there is also sky, who has all rights on HBO stuff here and thus can hold out despite its terrible player. Also DAZN for sport events. Both are imo completely relying on third parties though (sky on HBO and dazn on the leagues).
