Just before Champions Trophy 🏆

In the recently concluded India vs England series, when I clicked on link in Jio Cinema , it was opening in Hotstar.. I was wondering what was happening then..
Now I knew what was happening...

Streaming is such an industry where choice is detrimental to the consumer

At this point, anything Mota bhai touches should be a point of bother imo.

They just kill competition and acquire them, eventually leaving little to no competition, then they go on price hike spree. That's just their business model I guess

 

[iSayyed]

YES!

Choice of streaming platform is detrimental in the overall growth of the industry, look at how streaming has messed up US sports and now doing the same with Premier League

Guess the guy who designed logo, did it for free!

And they just overlapped both subscriptions, so whichever had longer validaity stays, other expires. Doesn't get added.

Already, on home page lot of crap stuff showing up. But If Hotstar streaming experience remains, that'd be relief.

Btw, what is the best way to get Hotstar Coupon (1499/ plan), my subscription expiring this month. I saw gyftr/paytm giving upto 100 off.

That's true but the Indian market is very different. people used to buy hotstar subscription just to watch IPL. Then mota bhai acquired streaming rights and made it free to watch. Now they are going to charge a minimum of Rs 149 for that. Isn't it obvious where this is going?

Agree, they create monopoly

The most lucrative segment/demo/programming for any streaming is live sports and having all of IPL at once place is the better outcome than watching Playoff 1 on Sony, Playoff 2 on Zee and Final on Hotstar

At least on Telecom side, Jio coming has helped. Before Jio came in, Airtel and others even wanted to start charging extra for call made over data. And were giving so less data for way more money. We are way better off now vs before Jio came in.

 

[tachniki]

Is it only me or does anyone else feel app is too loud. Like too much of reds color shouting.

 

[H2O]

Only the splash screen is changed; the rest of the app is still the same.

 

[moneyMaker]

so no disney+ content?

 

[runningfast]

so no disney+ content?

It is there. Homepage, click on more and all available channels show up.

 

[Esmail]

so no disney+ content?

All the Disney content is available just as before under the Disney hub. Just the name of the app no longer contains Disney. The content will be available till they have the licence agreement with Disney.
