Yes, it will cost more but will be worth it for the sheer amount of different content IMHO.

Really it all depends on the content available from each streamer. Disney+ will be giving us Marvel, Star Wars etc. MGM Stargate + the rest. Everyone will tailor their choice of streamer to suit their tastes.

Only once we know what is out there and from whom will it settle down and people will pehaps choose 2 or 3 on a 12 month contract and have a couple of others for the odd month for certain content.
Yes, I agree with that, and of course in time we will have even more choice from the subscription free AVOD services as well. As you know from my previous posts, Mrs Old Boy and I will be avoiding those!
