Yeah... but to be honest, all these OTTs and their different platform fee might just lead to more piracy. Just like before. Torrents are and always will be the king of sources. TV channels? It depends on the region and there are much better local services.

Not sure how I feel about this. Disney’s content is family-friendly, while Viacom and JioCinema tend to be a bit more diverse. How will they manage brand consistency?

Honestly, it’s a smart move. TV and OTT are converging, and Reliance is ahead of the curve. With Hotstar and JioCinema under one roof, they can provide some serious competition to Netflix and Amazon
