The Office will be pulled from Netflix in 2021. Will move to NBC Universal/Comcast Streaming Service

I feel like all these streaming services may actually get people to just buy the blu rays of their favorite shows and subscribe to only a few actual streaming services instead of subscribing for one long time show. Only those streaming services with a huge amount of original or long time content are gonna be able to hold people for long.
Might as well call NBC's streaming service The Officeflix because The Office is the only reason people will subscribe to it. This is why Netflix is spending so much money on Space Force.
So much new content always getting released that I'm getting more and more indifferent to the loss of old shows. Often shows on my watchlist for years that I never get around to watch that expire and then come back without me even noticing. Lol
I do sorta regret not getting hard copies of shows like Stargate since it's locked behind a Stargate only streaming service. I like the show but not enough to subscribe to a separate service and not enough to buy a ~$200 complete set either.
I think the success of music streaming has these companies thinking people subscribe to streaming services because they have no other way of accessing the content and not for CONVENIENCE. Hulu, Amazon Prime, DC Universe, and PS+. I am done with more streaming services (I might get the disney one), I suspect as more services stratify content piracy will rise.
The reasons to keep Netflix are dwindling by the month.
Hulu's going to be fully controlled by Disney, so I'm sure they're sitting just fine
This streaming service shit is gonna hit a saturation point.
I have no issue with Netflix and Hulu, as they have a large variety of shows and films. But why the fuck would I sub to a service with ONLY NBC content, or ONLY CBS content?

I have never had the urge to watch the show again. The departure of steve carrell and the assholes that pam and jim became soured me on it.
Netflix's most viewed shows by far are Friends and The Office. Their originals aren't nearly as popular. I think Netflix will be in trouble once The Office and Friends get pulled despite their best efforts to diversify.
Got the complete series for like $25 on iTunes a couple months back, so that's fine. This streaming service future is going to break at some point though. People won't pay for them all.
Office is my most watched show on a Netflix with that said ain't no way I'm buying a subscription to that service. They can go fuck themselves. I'll find another way.
I think after Michael left the only real asshole was Andy by far. They really shit on his character arc.
On the flipside, NBC is putting a lot of stake into whether people will subscribe to their service for two of the most syndicated sitcoms in history. They're big gets, for sure, but it's hard to gauge how much they were a "nice to have" for Netflix, and how much they actually drove customers. Because god bless NBC, their lineup is pretty shitty, and I ain't subscribing to a Friends and Office service.
Wait, didn't Netflix pay an absurd amount for Friends streaming rights? Would have expected that they'd get it for a decade at least.
Anyway, yeah, this is going to happen, so buckle in and wait it out. Everyone will make their own service, most of them will fail since nobody can compete with the IP libraries of people like Disney or the entrenched status of Netflix, so it'll consolidate out a while after that. Soon we'll be down to a solid 3-5 services, with high prices and monopoly protections for everyone!
I heard on the John Campea Show that the NBCUniversal service would be free w/ads, or maybe it was something that they were talking about experimenting with? One of the two
If it's the former I'd be fine with it (if I even liked The Office in the first place)
