MY THEORY ON HOW NETFLIX WILL STAY RELEVANT WITH DISNEY PLUS

If you haven't heard, Disney is officially pulling its titles from Netflix in order to draw in customers for its new streaming service, Disney Plus.

You may be asking, "why do you care, aren't you like 26?" Yes, I am. But, first of all, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy Disney movies. Second of all, Disney owns a ton of titles that go beyond their cute animated character movies.

To name just a few, Disney owns ABC, ESPN (about 80 percent of it), Touchstone Pictures, Marvel, A&E, Lifetime, and much more. Until now, these movies and shows were available to Netflix streamers. But, starting on Nov. 12 (just four days from now), these movies will be offered only on Disney Plus.

I've seen several blogs and articles containing predictions about Netflix's future. With Disney Plus charging about $7 a month, and Netflix charging about double that for multiple watchers, Disney Plus seems to be the better deal.

In addition, Disney Plus will get back the superhero movies, Disney shows, and a TON of Lifetime movies (let's all shed a tear for having fewer sappy Christmas movies to watch this season).

With a lot of people predicting the inevitable downfall of this digital dominator, I recently found a scrap of evidence that is either a manifestation of a good plan, or a great plan that Netflix should consider.

A curious title that was recently listed caught my attention. 

That was the Nickelodeon show from my teenhood, Victorious. I LOVED that show growing up, and I always love to take a walk down memory lane by rewatching old shows.

​What if, and hear me out here, what if Netflix teamed up to exclusively offer streams of old and new Nickelodeon shows? ​​

I'm pretty sure my demographics of age reach are similar to my age. Tell me this: If you could watch everything from CatDog, to Drake & Josh, to Zoey 101, wouldn't you say subscribed?

​Not to mention the pull that Netflix could get from the current shows on the channel. 

Since Nickelodeon and Disney are like the N'SYNC and Backstreet Boys of television, I have a good feeling that many people will stay for a chance to see some older Nickelodeon shows (and the newer ones).

If not, I know that Netflix has made strides in their original series. They are really good, and I wouldn't be surprised if the inclusion and continuation of those will keep the subscriptions coming!

As for me and my husband, I'm not sure what we're going to do. My wallet says another subscription isn't a good idea. However, it may be something we do down the line when money isn't as tight.

​What do you think? Would you stay with Netflix if you could watch old Nick shows?
