streaming wars
Netflix versus Disney
The streaming wars refers to intense competition among media companies for subscribers to their video streaming services.
The term emerged in the late 2010s as traditional studios launched platforms to compete with Netflix: Disney+, HBO Max, and Peacock all entered the streaming wars.
The metaphor captures aggressive tactics—exclusive content, price battles, and poaching rivals' shows.
