WarnerMedia Merges with Discovery: What This Means for You Techstream with Shelly Palmer and Seth Everett

    • Technology

AT&T is getting out of the content business, announcing plans to merge its WarnerMedia business with Discovery. We break down what went wrong and what this means for consumers, especially because everyone has a streaming platform now.

What does loyal fandom mean in 2021? Do completists need to subscribe to every streaming service that offers a single show in a cinematic universe they love? Seth gives us a peek inside his completist brain as we learn the things he has and hasn't seen. (Spoiler: Shelly *can't believe* what Seth hasn't seen!)

Are people playing the unsubscribe/resubscribe game? Are people scaling back on the TV they pay for? Does anyone really use all the TV they get if they're still paying for cable?

Plus: we talk about the best and worst streaming options in terms of hardware (i.e. streaming sticks) and apps. Why does it seem like most services can't get it right, and does anyone really care about UX or UI?
