Netflix raising prices again is the clearest sign streaming has entered its “mature market” era: growth slows, ARPU becomes the game, and bundles come back. What are you canceling first?

Hot take: streaming didn’t kill cable. It just recreated cable pricing—one app at a time—with better recommendations.

The Warner deal being “dead” is a reminder: streaming’s easy era is over. The next edge is regional execution—especially Europe. Originals + licensing + ads + compliance. Pick 2? No—pick all 4.

Hot take: Netflix doesn’t need a mega-deal. It needs to win Europe one country at a time with repeatable formats and a ruthless localization machine.
