Long grow the years of the Streaming Wars but we’ve yet to see the death of any of the whales. Which of the biggest streaming apps will go under first?

If Max rebrands itself again as Ax, or something else stupid, this doesn’t count. If Disney shuts down Hulu and moves everyone into Disney+, such that no one can buy an independent Hulu subscription, this will resolve to Hulu.

End date will extend, if necessary.

What if two merge? What decides which one resolves?

@asmith we’re going to have to play that by ear. Likely one will be acquiring the other, which means they’ll be preserving that name, likely.

If Netflix and Amazon work out a deal where Prime and Netflix are a single service called PrimeFlix and both companies have a 50:50 stake in the service (extremely unlikely), I’d probably resolve 50:50?

@mattyb That now seems slightly less unlikely: https://www.thewrap.com/peacock-paramount-plus-comcast-streaming/

(Even if this does happen, it might well look like one absorbing the other, but the way this is described in the article does sound like "two disappear at the same time to create a wholly new one"—sounds like that might resolve 50/50?)
