PRO TIP: You can literally just cancel every free trial that exists within seconds of signing up for your free trial because you’re actually just canceling the subscription That starts after the trial. It’s a pretty foolproof way to never get charged for a free trial you forget about.
@@anthonycameronnajera8471 My pro tip wasn’t how to get never-ending free subscriptions, but rather how to not accidentally end up paying for subscriptions you forgot to cancel. Since the entire business model of subscriptions is in large part based on people forgetting to cancel their free trials and subsequently paying the monthly fee until they realize they’re (still) paying for it. It’s a foolproof way Boyd been on the hook for some thing you just signed up for to see what it was or any other free trial you use to can access to a particular thing, with no intention of ever actually signing up. (like having to sign up for Paramount+ just to watch March madness or another streamer just to binge a specific show)
BEST PRO TIP: Quit wasting your time screwing around with "free trials" to watch live sports and just buy cable....and if your tight on money.....quit buying Starbucks coffee and overpriced take-out food/door dash.
Samson is solid. Not taking away from him. But plenty are doing good stuff with this coverage (Curtis/ringer, DEUTSCH, traina, sports media watch), biz insider, karp & hall When Dan said "no one covers it better", it's likely because he legitimately DOES NOT EVEN REALIZE that not only do many others exist...but many do in fact do it better than Samson/meadowlark.
Real news! Brilliantly presented. Edgar Bronfman Jr. deserves a special class star as the epitome of a capitalist wanker. After inheriting Seagrams he killed the company in a little over a decade. He then bought and lost control of the MCA/Universal Group in five years. He was a pioneer in seeing a $14 billion a year music industry in the USA shrink by more than 75% in the first decade of the 21st century. He then ran a downsized Warner Music group before selling out to Access Holdings (a private equity giant controlled by Leonard Blavatnik) for $3 billion in 2012. Quite a talent. Thanks for the great content!!
I'm so glad I stuck with cable, I have a relative doing TH-cam TV and all the movie channels at 155, I pay 200 for all of that plus the fastest internet package. These streaming companies plan to capture all the live sports and then raise the prices.
Yea the movie channels are a waste of money if youre already paying for the streaming companies. But its definitely cheaper to get YTTV and the sports package than cable.
As a sports fan, Thank You Dan for covering this sports streaming content information! Gold for many of us on how this is all beginning to look like it settling out.. (me a former DirecTV subscriber)
0:54 while I no longer qualify for most streaming "free trials", because I signed up when there were sales - I have my calendar marked with my cancellation dates (last Thanksgiving they had Disney for $1 a month, when added to Hulu - which I had to renew anyway. And I got WB for $3 per month. Sad it all ends in two months).
Dan would spend 30 minutes explaining the word THE. He thinks that is a great show. And throughout, he's insist that no one understands the importance of THE and what it does for us
@@heartbreak25 no way the show is growing. The show used to be fun and was backed by ESPN. Danny downer's late life crisis has really put a skid mark on what was the best show
I would argue Disney wasn't really "forced" to sell what became Bally Sports because some reported suggested that Disney offered that option to the DOJ. They only had one meeting. Wonder how they would've been if Fox kept/repurchased the RSNs?
Can we please get an update on the joke that is Bally Sports??? Fubo is the only non-cable option if I want to watch any Minnesota sports. Why aren’t they with TH-camTV or Hulu Plus still? I know the answer is money, but I would love to know if there is even effort being made to bring regional sports coverage to the streaming services.
I get Bally on Directv streaming but of course they just stopped Disney stuff so no ESPN. I watch the Braves here in South Carolina. Looks like Fubo and Directv are the only options.
Well the problem nowadays is the incessant rent-seeking by everyone shaking each other down for the temporary rights to a product that doesn't actually see growth, basically forcing a debt spiral. I mean the NBA cap jumping now because they were able to shake down NBC and Amazon, who are desperate for content and able to leverage for investment capital ie debt, is a hell of a lot different from the NBA cap jumping in the late 80s and early 90s because viewership was growing like 15% a year. These products don't actually bring in the revenue to cover their costs -- just like Samson was saying about the NBC-NBA deal. The debt load all of these companies are carrying now is insane and they can't stop because having a product is better than having none, but at the same time they'll never grow or inflate their way back to stability. It really is a house of cards and unlike the airlines the media is not integral to the world economy.
@@sp123 Exactly. And the ratings did go down and never totally returned except for a few blips there in the 2010s especially 2016. And TBH the product there in the late 90s and early 00s did become hard to watch for the casual fan; I loved it but I can see why many people didn't and that's why the NBA changed the rules to speed the game up. And nowadays the games can be hard to watch as well; it's just not enjoyable basketball to watch and there aren't the megastar players in their primes anymore. But that's the thing, sports and entertainment is an elastic product. Other than the NFL there just isn't a big, reliable audience. And the only reason these deals are on the table is because of corporate access to debt right now as well as tax cuts and other financial shenanigans that puts more cash out there. But it ain't the market that's dictating it, and that's ultimately dangerous.
@@gf4670 Part of the problem is that other countries have caught up with America in sports. Americans don't want to watch a product being dominated by non-Americans. I predicted that the WNBA was going to grow because its the last major sport outside of the NFL that is mostly American.
@@sp123 Yeah I mean the WNBA is going to see some growth, but it's going to be limited -- it is an inferior product in terms of watchability if we're being honest. But there was definitely room to grow. But yeah, other countries have closed the gap on a lot of sports and entertainment in general. That's why Hollywood is also having trouble, especially in Asia. People would rather would movies about things they have in common with. And the same with sports. The domestic products are now beginning to matter a lot more, especially in the more nationalistic world we're living in now.
It's nothing like cable even if the price is the exact same ! You don't get commercial's on most streaming services ( assuming you have the highest tier ) and most importantly you are not at the mercy of your favorite show's air time. The only thing that has that kind of grip on consumers is live sports ! I would NEVER pay for regular cable again especially satellite
Still too close to "anti trust" for MLB to own the "product", a national outlet, *and* the regional distribution network (as individual teams also have their own regional outlets).
Nah really thanks to Greed they want you the consumer to foot the bill for there mistakes in business like paying way too much for NFL, MLB and College football playoff packages
Just give us a way to watch every major league for $49 a month. None of this Fubo for this channel and Sling Blue for another and Sling Orange for another 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
I love all the conversations around sports and media streaming rights and all of that so much. Too bad everytime I see Sampsons weasly face I can't bring myself to watch or listen to anything he has to say because he's such a low life snake about everything business. Maybe he could start a show with Kevin O'Leary so they could explore all the ways to make all the money without having any remorse or emapathy at all.
They upload on spotify and have most episode up by 1 eastern. They are on hbo mX, xumo play, Samsung TV plus. Sling free stream and now they will be following Dan Patrick on peacock

Just stop watching crap. Catch up on the what nots on TH-cam, subscribe to some newspapers and you're good. Life's too short to spend hours and hours every week in front of a screen. How does watching Pat McAfee make life better?
What’s the difference you’re still gonna spend “ hours to hours” in front of a screen whether it’s watching TH-cam or reading a newspaper or article on your phone

I might be in the minority, but I find this topic about the business interesting
Yup so do I

I love TH-cam TV! I split it with my 2 brothers mostly for sports and we each pay $25 a month
Can’t remember the last time I watched ESPN
I'd love to see a show/movie backed solely by Samson
It would be shockingly terrible

*Opens nightstand drawer and looks at his pirate hat*
Jesus sometimes Dan just goes on and on
Will the RSN's just be acquired by MLBTV and other league networks.
Still too close to "anti trust" for MLB to own the "product", a national outlet, *and* the regional distribution network (as individual teams also have their own regional outlets).
I have an interesting point to make, "so I've been reading Will Smiths autobiography..."
Yeah, I'm good lol
Espn is horrible now... 90s great...Thanks to Disney.
Nah really thanks to Greed they want you the consumer to foot the bill for there mistakes in business like paying way too much for NFL, MLB and College football playoff packages
Nepo step baby
Definitely Samson
Amazed that LBS continues to platform someone like Samson. This dude was born to post on LinkedIn about some absolute MBA-brained bullshit.
Just give us a way to watch every major league for $49 a month. None of this Fubo for this channel and Sling Blue for another and Sling Orange for another 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
I know, it's all a grift on the consumer.

I think they’re on Twitch .
streaming on the Draft Kings "network" ™
2:27 😂
Oh⏩,⏩ David⏩Samson⏩
One word, greed. I cut cable and directv in 2018.
If Samson says something just know the opposite is going to happen
Then put your money against everything he says. Let us know how that goes.
They love him cuz it’s just another dude talking to fill time…..
Media been doing this since it’s inception
Hey look its the regular "defend late stage capitalism" segment
Easy answer here: Just buy CABLE....period.
Netflix destroyed television, and now they’re all trying to be Netflix even though they don’t have the same business model. This was all predictable.
and now Netflix is updating its business model to make even more money. Dont let them fool you Netflix never really lost any money but they used the corporate meida to make it look like people were free loaders even though that is the business model Netflix came up with and now are raking in the money with there new updated business model
Pretty sure the resentment is that Chris is a no talent bum that Dan treats like a son.
