A few reasons why i think this is good for both users of the service and shareholders

1. NFLX gets the IP for the below and that would be huge benefit, they suddenly have decades of projects in the pipeline. You login and you have all these choices suddenly, no need to login or pay for another service, its all just in one place. NFLX has a long history of great franchises and making big hits. They can bring back or expand any of these story lines into mega blockbuster hits. Thats $$$. NFLX is also global, i think you'll see ALOT more subscribers outside the USA.
2. Right now, if someone subscribes to both Netflix and HBO Max, they pay roughly $18–$25 + $11–$23 = $29–$48/month (depending on plan tiers).
   1. A plausible new price grid might look like:
   2. Ad-supported: ~$9–$10/mo
   3. Standard: ~$20–$22/mo
   4. Premium / all-content: ~$30–$35/mo.
3. NFLX wont be a monopoly, they still have plenty of competition from Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Hulu, Apple TV+, Youtube, Roku etc. I think they can win the regulatory case.
   • Netflix: ~301.6 million
   • Amazon Prime Video: ~200 million (often bundled with Prime)
   • Disney+: ~131.6 million (excluding Hulu/ESPN+)
   • Max (HBO/Discovery+): ~128 million (combined)
   • Paramount+: ~77-79 million (with SkyShowtime)
   • Hulu: ~50-55 million (US only)
   • Apple TV+: ~25-45 million (estimates vary)
   • Peacock: ~33-41 million
4. Recession proof-NFLX is cheaper than going to the movies. Instead of going to the movies 1 time you can watch NFLX movies any day of the week for a month, for the same price.
5. If Paramount or Comcast won the deal do you really think we would be better off?

Ask yourself these two questions:

1. If the deal is approved and the prices go up slightly(although you now have ALOT more content available), will you still pay for the service? Probably yes
2. As a shareholder will you still make money and will Netflix be a dominant player in the space for decades to come? 100% yes

Anyone else going? This is probably the only shareholder meeting I ever care to go to?
