Netflix Reaches 60M U.S. Subscribers with Disney+ and Price Hike Coming

I think Disney+ will be a good counter to the content offering from Netflix. The current issue I have with Netflix original content is that at any point the shows can transition into a porno. Their content seems to be unnecessarily crude and grotesque at times. For example in Sacred Games there are scenes, shown with details, where a guy's finger is chopped off or when a guy in a wheel chair is run over by a truck. This becomes super embarrassing when you have friends over and just put on something on the TV. Disney's family friendly approach should appeal to the demographic of people watching content with larger groups of people.

I actually cancelled my Netflix due to the price hike. I like the channel services that some streaming providers are offering now, although they can easily be more expensive than a Netflix subscription. I would like to see Netflix offer some customization of content and work to get agreements to help find content that people like.
