> After people binge through new shows, the big 4 will be the ones holding all the old content.

Do most people really want that old content? Apart from a few shows, I say no.

I stopped watching real time stuff (news, local, etc) and like watching old series an episode or two a day. TNG was great and it took a few months.

Actually, I do think there is a market for that.

Like the "catalog" section of the old rental places, it surely would be interesting to watch an "old" movie sometimes (which by today's measure could be something like >3yrs)

arent Friends and The Office some of the most streamed shows?

I have to think Disneys back catalog of shows and movies will be a bigger draw short term than their new content. Are people buying it to watch The Mandalorian and the new Lady and the Tramp, or are they buying it so their kids can watch every disney movie ever made? Dont get me wrong, having a bunch of Marvel mini-series as their launch content is a brilliant move to make it not "just the old stuff."

There's a ton of old stuff I'd like to show my kid, but so much from my youth isn't available.

I'd also like to watch more garbage tv from the 80s.
