Paramount Skydance Merger Yields Streaming Services Price Hike, Mark My Words, No One Asked For This
Oh, brilliant. Another corporate marriage meant to save us from the tyranny of choice. As if my bill wasn't already bleeding me dry for a dozen different logins. So Paramount and Skydance are merging their streaming services? I suppose the bean counters in their ivory towers think we'll all cheer for fewer options and a higher price tag. Common sense told me this was a cash grab the second I read the press release. They'll bundle it, call it a "revolutionary new package," and then jack up the monthly fee by 50% because they can. Meanwhile, my internet buffer wheel is still spinning from last night's outage. These suits have never had to choose between paying for gas or a movie night. Absolute madness.
