Every year, we’re inundated with deals around Black Friday designed to get us to pony up some cash. Some of those deals are better than others, and this year, one of the very best deals is actually not on any physical merchandise. Instead, it’s the heavily discounted prices Amazon Prime Video is offering users who want to subscribe to additional streaming services through the platform.

Paramount+ with Showtime is currently 75% off for the first two months, bringing the subscription price down from $11.99/mo. to $2.99/mo. for those two months. With that subscription you can watch everything from Survivor to Top Gun: Maverick and plenty of other great films and TV shows in between.

Discovery+ and AMC+ are also 75% off for the first two months, meaning that each is only $1.25/mo. Those streaming services are undeniably a little more obscure, but offer their own selections of titles.

The deals don’t stop there: MGM+ is $1.75/mo., BritBox is $2.25/mo., Crunchyroll is $2/mo. and Starz is $2.75/mo.

These subscriptions are add-ons that are only available if you are already a subscriber to Amazon Prime, meaning that you fork over either $139/year or $14.99/mo. for the convenient shipping and for Prime Video. Prime Video is a great hub for plenty of streaming content, but there are several major streaming players that are absent from the service, including Max, Disney+, and Netflix. Still, if you’re looking for one of the smaller streaming services, and especially if you only want to subscribe for a couple of months, then these Prime Video deals might be calling your name.

Disney nostalgia and awesome new shows to stream

The Mandalorian looks out over the sun

Disney Plus has finally created a competitive library of original series that can compete with other services like Netflix and Max. It's also a treasure trove of Disney nostalgia for anyone who grew up in the '90s and early 2000s. On top of all that, the streamer has released a few of the most popular TV series to come out in recent years, and those series, on top of the deep catalog, make a Disney+ subscription worthwhile.

The streaming service is, at the end of the day, still a streaming service. As a Disney fan myself, though, it can be hard not to get swept up in the magic that the service contains. Disney is an old-fashioned dream factory, and Disney+ is home to many of those dreams.

Apple is losing over $1 billion a year on streaming, but so what?

The tech giant doesn't need to make money on its streaming venture.

According to a report from The Information, Apple is losing roughly $1 billion on its streaming content every year. The report suggests that Apple spent roughly $5 billion on streaming in 2019, but has trimmed that number slightly.

The news that Apple is spending more money than it's making on streaming has some wondering if this is a sustainable business model for the company. After all, most corporations want to make money, and right now, Apple TV+ is doing the opposite.

The streaming revolution was supposed to usher us into an era when things were cheaper and you could buy more things a la carte. According to Deloitte's 19th annual Digital Media Trends report, though, people are still paying plenty, and they aren't necessarily happy about it.

According to the report, people are paying $69/mo. on average for four streaming services, which is a 13% increase from a year ago. Cable or satellite customers are still paying more, though, with their average cost coming out to $125/mo. 47% of those surveyed said that they are paying too much for those services, and 41% said that they don't believe the price they pay is worth it for the content available on these platforms, whic his up 5% from the last report.
