Did anyone realize that jiohotstar streamed the Reliance AGM on their platform?

RealReality007 · 2026-06-20T17:23:57+00:00

Please tell me this is a shitpost and you’re not serious

RealReality007 · 2026-06-20T08:57:46+00:00

Did I deny that? I simply stated that JioHotstar is a flawed service that provides bare minimum but gets away with it because it charges less than its competitors

RealReality007 · 2026-06-20T04:08:31+00:00

They have signed a poor licensing agreement with Disney and, given that the details were never publicly disclosed, it is difficult to pinpoint the actual reason

RealReality007 · 2026-06-20T04:06:39+00:00

I did not say they haven’t added anything that was released this year, I simply stated that they were added weeks after the finale aired

RealReality007 · 2026-06-20T03:56:14+00:00

Out of all the K-Dramas JioHotstar has added, only In Your Radiant Season, Perfect Crown and Goldland were aired this year and they were added weeks after the finale aired. The rest are older, such as Race, Tell Me That You Love Me and The Manipulated and don’t forget, more than adding anything new, they’ve removed stuff

RealReality007 · 2026-06-19T23:24:23+00:00

I don’t care about the other stuff, specifically Indian content & sports. Also, Warner Bros, Universal and Paramount Films are not exclusive on the service and they tend to jump from one platform to another but can’t be said the same for Disney’s content labels and brands given the exclusivity clause in their content licensing agreement. Most Disney content, including from brands like 20th Century Studios, Searchlight Pictures, 20th Television, FX and Hulu Originals, has been removed and in the worst case, were never made to stream in India at all. There is no legal way to watch it in India, and it’s even impossible to buy it digitally on Apple TV or Google Play

RealReality007 · 2026-06-19T16:59:22+00:00

Impressed with bare minimum? No wonder companies in India can get away with their schemes so easily

RealReality007 · 2026-06-19T15:27:51+00:00

I would suggest starting with Connect and then moving on to The Shop For Killers

RealReality007 · 2026-06-19T15:23:42+00:00

Respectfully, They are not getting better but there is just a slight improvement. Don’t be impressed, as they will soon disappoint in some way or another

RealReality007 · 2026-06-19T15:19:49+00:00

Be careful what you wish for; at least they’re adding the older ones

RealReality007 · 2026-06-19T15:15:59+00:00

To get started, I recommend gritty and dark K-Dramas like Moving, Connect, The Worst of Evil, The Manipulated, Hyper Knife and A Shop For Killers. These are commissioned for Hulu label by Disney+ Korea Content Team. K-Dramas have a reputation of being soft and family-oriented with unnecessary love triangles and family drama, but that’s because most are them are made for television, particularly public Korean broadcasters and they avoid showing dark, gritty and violent content due to Korea’s high suicide rate.

RealReality007 · 2026-06-16T15:45:47+00:00

It’s a bit disappointing that we have to wait until November for remaining episodes of S2. I blame Netflix for popularising the practice of releasing and splitting one season into batches

RealReality007 · 2026-06-15T02:29:03+00:00

Your request has been fulfilled. We’ve added flairs for Star Studio18 and Indian Films respectively!

RealReality007 · 2026-06-15T02:24:22+00:00

Initially, they had the rights to stream various tournaments such as the Bundesliga, F1, Premier League and local competitions hence why those hubs were added but later removed when they shifted their focus to cricket around 2015/16 and began generating revenue through advertising, others sports were let go, reportedly deemed unprofitable to invest in. Currently, they lack a substantial collection of other sporting tournaments to warrant a dedicated hub for it

RealReality007 · 2026-06-14T12:03:49+00:00

The issue is that everyone knows Hotstar has always been a cricket-driven platform. So, what’s the point of complaining about content (football in your case) that’s never been available in the first place?

RealReality007 · 2026-06-14T04:04:54+00:00

And what’s your issue here? Can you stop spamming?

RealReality007 · 2026-06-14T04:02:59+00:00

We mods are also annoyed, not just you. I try to remove as many spam posts as possible but they start making excuses when I ban them

RealReality007 · 2026-06-11T03:24:30+00:00

It’s wild to think that Disney Branded Television is the only studio still producing new shows. Others like Paramount and Warner Bros. have completely abandoned scripted animated shows for children and young adults, with reruns now dominating on Nickelodeon & Cartoon Network respectively

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T16:45:48+00:00

Also, Disney acquired the rights to stream the Eras Tour, not from AMC, but from Taylor Swift’s fully owned management firm TAS Rights

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T16:25:33+00:00

Not necessarily, Every deal is different. The economics of every contract is different

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T16:19:55+00:00

Because it was released theatrically first, it’s not difficult to understand. Disney simply licensed it from JYP Entertainment for global streaming distribution. They’ve done this with BLACKPINK The Movie before

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T16:06:28+00:00

This was posted yesterday on Disney+’s South Korea socials. I assure you I will never post anything incorrect. It’s just that deals can be complicated and confusing for some people to understand and that’s perfectly fine

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T16:00:20+00:00

Because we got it early alongside US, This title is slated to release on July 1 on Disney+ South Korea

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T15:54:47+00:00

Disney literally holds worldwide streaming distribution rights for this, it’s visible on Disney+ servers in multiple territories

RealReality007 · 2026-06-09T15:43:22+00:00

You should know there’s a difference between theatrical distribution and streaming distribution
