It is merely the start of new content delivery that you've all been slagging OB of for. I've agreed with OB before and still agree with him.
Time to get your heads out of the sand.

I didn't say the platform was untested, I said the business model was. It remains to be seen whether Disney retailing direct to consumers makes more profit than their wholesale distribution models.

The fact that you question the viability of these platforms does not mean it is a problem. If it was, these companies wouldn't be taking this route, would they?

Hmm.
No, because not every business is a success, failure is a possibility. Some may find themselves coming cap in hand to existing platforms or other streaming services to bundle their content.
The perfect example of this is Eleven Sports / La Liga. They believed a market was there for a product that simply wasn't.
