Yesterday, with regard to "streaming wars," I wrote this:
Of all the choices out there, it then appears to come down to Hulu (Disney) vs YouTube TV (Google).
Most interesting: of all the choices out there, only one major player has no original content -- Google's YouTube TV.
From a purely business decision that makes sense. Original content is incredibly expensive and Google shareholders should be happy that Google does not unnecessarily spend money on original content.
Consumers certainly don't need any more original content, but from my perspective, not providing original content seems to make you nothing more than another Pluto TV. Sure, YouTube TV is a really, really, really, good Pluto TV but without original content, I don't see YouTube TV as a top tier player.

Now this, over at CNBC today, saying exactly what I was saying:
Other Emmy Links
The 2022 Emmys -- Monday night, September 12, 2022.
From the linked article above:
Is this the year of Apple TV+?Much more at the link.
The streamer’s historic Oscar win for Best Picture was overshadowed by an altercation between actor Will Smith and comedian Chris Rock in March, but big wins at Monday’s Emmys could cement the service as one of the most reputable content providers in the streaming space.“Apple TV+ follows a ‘less is more’ strategy,” said Peter Csathy, founder and chairman of advisory firm Creative Media. “Fewer titles but bigger names and premium quality.”
In recent years, Csathy noted that Apple TV+ has built a small but critically acclaimed catalog that is “almost becoming the new HBO,” which was known for quality series prior to its merger with HBO Max.
Apple TV+, which has been around for less than three years, has earned 52 total Emmy nominations across 13 different titles in 2022. HBO and HBO Max notched 140 nominations combined and Netflix received 104.
Apple TV+’s breakout hit “Ted Lasso” is up again for Outstanding Comedy Series, while its new show “Severance” is on the ballot for Outstanding Drama Series. Competition in both categories is steep, in part because of new entrants like “Squid Game,” “Yellow Jackets” and “Abbot Elementary.” This is also the last year of eligibility for “Better Call Saul” and “Ozark.”
