      So what, you're saying that people won't leave D+ because of said cult-like following?

      Yes, the same thing that makes me feel disgusted to have access to it. There is a huge difference between a system full of worthless content, and content that makes me feel kind of bad to have exist. It's that "who cares what it is, I love it because it is Disney" reaction that makes me actually dislike it.

        I only bought D+ because I want to support the making of more SW TV shows, etc. I have options for obtaining the small amount of content i actually want, but I felt voting for things I wanted with my pocketbook was worthwhile in this case - plus actually watching with their app will give them the direct feedback of consumption, hopefully leading to more productions.

        And while you do that for SW,others will do it for Disney proper, others for Marvell, etc. D+ is specifically the collection of properties that garner that reaction. Plus National Geographic for some reason.

          re changing and super short form and super long form are becoming the big hits. the 1.5-3 hour traditional movie format seem

          I actually understand and agree with this.

          oh and i'm leaving this broken quote here to show that years later - ML is still doing this to me when I quote posts - 90% of the time, the first time I quote something, it's broken, I discard and quote again and it's fine.

            yeah I don't get the Nat Geo thing... it's that brand dead? I'm sure your kids barely if at all know what it is.

              Today's IT insight....

              For a developer, having to work in VB.NET is like being a professional plumber but getting called in just to plunge a stuck toilet that's full of... you know.

                Here is a simple test....

                How does Scott see Netflix? Great service, good price, content makes sense to me.
                How does Scott see Hulu? Netflix wanna be, decent, lots of glitches, acceptable if nothing else comes along.
                How does Scott see D+? Steaming garbage with content so unwanted that I'd prefer not to have the service that to have to filter through it.

                How does Dash see Netflix? - has Scott sees most of D+, full of worthless crap, with so much junk in there you get annoyed long before you actually find anything you want to watch. I've watched a reasonable number of Netflix originals - The Toys that a Made us/The movies that made us
                How does Dash see Hulu? - as a cable replacement, the weekly serials for many channels (save CBS - bastards) I rarely watch any hulu originals, though my wife does/has.
                How does Dash see D+? mostly was a way to watch The Mandalorian. I have watched their series on Disney Imagineering - the making of the Disney parks.. that was pretty cool.. and I've scrolled through, but not watched, the old 20's, 30's, etc cartoon listings... that was cool for a min, but I could have done that for free on the interwebs if I really cared that much.

                  Originals are just part of the story, you have to look at the full selection. Yeah, it's full of bad stuff for sure, but also has some really good content.

                  Netflix is terrible to sort, though.

                    I wish there was a way to suppress things - I never want to see this listing again.... that could likely go a long way to clean it up.

                          I'm really looking forward to this.

                          I like how they have played things off as it did happen but then was over.

                              maybe not literally half a decade, but close enough. just remake after remake after sequel after prequel, after remake.
                              Not a single original Idea has surfaced for Movies/Entertainment.

                                  While I'm sure there was something - but the last major one I can think of - in sci fi was The Matrix.

                                    there's gotta be something that was original in the first half of the decade..
