Netflix changed how we watch TV, but it didn't really change what we watch...
Netflix has achieved its incredible growth by taking distribution away from cable companies. Instead of watching The Office on cable, people now watch The Office on Netflix.
This edge isn't sustainable.
...
Disney's cable business has stagnated over the past seven years. But in about 175 days, Disney is set to launch its own streaming service called Disney+.It's going to charge $6.99/month—around $6 cheaper than Netflix.
And it's pulling all its content off of Netflix.
This is a big deal.

That's correct, but Netflix has already been generating original content and has built up a "back catalog" of movies/shows/etc. Their catalog just isn't anywhere near the size of disney's portfolio, or others. I doubt everyone will pull all of their content. I'd still be tempted to stick with Netflix at that point though, just to stick it to the stupid studios. I've grown quite disenfranchised with Disney for a while, unfortunately for me, my wife and kid don't have the same feelings. So, I'll likely end up purchasing both as I really don't want to stick with just Disney.
