As many students are satisfied with the nostalgic feeling from both Disney and Nickelodeon, they share their response to matter of the rivalry between Disney Plus and Netflix.
“I think that Netflix has a lot more going for them than Disney. It may draw away a few people to watch a few Disney movies, you know on Netflix, but in the long run, I don’t think that Netflix should have much to worry about regarding Disney Plus. ”- Damon Fletcher
Others say otherwise,
“I think I feel bad for Netflix because I just feel that Disney owns a lot, it’s a huge conglomerate, so they have a lot more to offer right now I think than Netflix does.” – Ivanelis Fletcher
And some are in the middle
“Either people have Netflix or Disney Plus now. They are like watching monopolies like Disney get ESPN, Netflix gets a deal with Nickelodeon. Like it’s just crazy how they are just taking over on what people watch on regular TV anymore.”- Matthew Van Ihsem
With this new craze, Disney Plus is releasing more content and more students are subscribing.
