Last year’s streaming wars pitted established heavy hitters (like Netflix and Hulu) against new powerhouses (such as Disney Plus and HBO Max), traditional networks (Paramount Plus, formerly CBS All Access), NBC’s Peacock and most recently Discovery Plus, and wild cards (see the now-defunct Quibi).
It’s unlikely that one streaming service will house all your favorite shows and movies at once, but it’s likely — especially during the pandemic — that you’re subscribed to multiple services (or at least have friends who’ve shared passwords).
