🔴IPTV SHUTDOWN / NFL FOR EVERYONE / AMAZON SPENDING CRAZY (STREAMING NEWS)

so welcome to the weekly Roundup of

streaming news things happening in the

community new applications things being

shut down what Amazon are trying to do

other streaming services and much more

and if you guys are interested in that

make sure you are subscribed now okay so

first up we find that Amazon actually

spent

16.6 billion US Dollars on streaming

content in the year 2022 that's actually

an increase of 28 from the previous year

now you may be wondering where does all

this money go to or what they're

actually purchasing but as we can see

here that's seven billion of that goes

into the original content including live

sports license content which if you are

a member of prime you get access to that

and it's generally accepted that they

spend 1 billion to get the rights to

stream the Thursday night football and

lastly over half a billion on that

really popular original series well I

say popular but I think it was actually

mixed reviews but on that Lord of the

Rings are power that prequel they spend

half a billion in fact do leave me a

comment below if you saw that series and

what you thought of it now comparing

that to another big media giant like

Disney they spent 33 billion on content

out of which 11 billion went towards

live sports Netflix and HBO Birds spent

around about 18 billion so you can see

big money is being spent on licensing

Sports on licensing content at the same

time paying for original content that's

where the money goes to and this is why

you can see obviously where somebody or

an application or somebody else offers a

service offering free content or access

to their content is why they get

severely

next up we have folks who have confirmed

that the Super Bowl 2023 which will be

on February the 12th will be shown

absolutely free without requiring any

registration also in 1080P and in 4K

resolution for everybody but at the same

time you can imagine that because of the

audience most likely this will be gear

restricted which means only people with

the USA IP address will be able to

access his content absolutely free but

to be fair for them to offer this

content in high definition and even 4K

without requiring any kind of you know

login or account I think that's a pretty

impressive and it says that last year

when NBC had the rights to broadcast a

Super Bowl it didn't provide any free

streams despite multiple sources

including Amazon stating that it would

which caused a bit of confusion at the

time especially on game day but it

forced people to then sign up to NBC's

peacock premium streaming service where

the game could be viewed out for 99 a

month month but here we can see with

this new news people should be able to

access using the Fox Application and

access all of the content here

absolutely free and for the people

outside USA presumably using a VPN or

something else to get USA IP address

you'll also be able to access that

content and here they're saying the

folks have confirmed that it'll not be

using a big game to push people to sign

up for any services like to be you can

just load up the Fox Sports app on

Friday the 12th and stream the entirety

of the Super Bowl with e so do leave me

a comment below if you are a super bowl

fan now this is an interesting one

because I covered this in the last

streaming news video whereby peacock TV

have now removed the free tier service

of their application and as I said in

that video the free tier did actually

offer really great content yes you have

to sign up with an email address but

once you had that account you could log

in and they had lots and lots of very

very popular content but as I'm

mentioned in the last video they've now

removed that service but here we can see

the Comcast which actually owned peacock

TV and Zuma play did they purposely

close down the free tier on peacock so

they could focus on Zuma play which is

another application which I have

reviewed recently here we can see that

these big players like Paramount Global

have their Paramount plus streaming

service Fox earns 2B Amazon has free

view now similarly Comcast has also

chosen to diversify their own NBC

Universal as well as peacock ad

supported streaming app called Zuma play

now and it's basically the article on

the streamable is saying that they

basically closed down the free tier on

peacock TV to give Comcast an

opportunity to build up the Zuma play

Brand because obviously we have multiple

applications or with free tiers then

which one do you give priority to now

they know that if anybody wants free

content free ad supported content then

the application for you is Zoomer play

and it is actually a great application

but but just again requires you to have

that USA IP address here we have a big

one whereby I'm sure you guys know that

the prior IPTV service which was gears

reloaded or gears IPTV it's been in the

news a few times we can see the YouTuber

owner here he basically pleaded guilty

along with two co-defendants one was

hired by Omar to work from home

supporting the service and he's

basically saying that gunmen were hired

to threaten him on two separate

occasions after he told the boss that he

wanted to quit so pretty shocking so we

can see that the service owned by

uh Bill Omar was shut down in November

2019 became one of the most high profile

anti-piracy operations just because of

the size and the amount of money that

was being exchanged and Omar wasn't too

shy about showing off the wealth with

the cars and the big houses and all that

kind of stuff so you can imagine it

brought a lot of attention and from his

point of view because of this legal

loophole he thought what he was doing

was actually 100 legal so he was

actually very surprised when it got shut

down now the baron or the Barone part of

the story is the interesting one because

he was just a normal guy he had a clean

record he previously worked as a train

conductor he quit in 2016 to become a

full-time carer for his dad and then to

make ends meet and he started looking

for work that he could do from home and

this is where he started hearing about

IPTV and he heard about the reboot IPTV

service and he started educating himself

on what it is what the pros are what the

cons are and is this actually League

goal and from there so things escalated

very quickly he started helping out in

the chat room and then Omar offered him

a job providing support and he basically

became convinced that because of the

rosy picture painted by Omar and the

others in the IPTV world uh it was more

or less a great area so it definitely

wasn't 100 illegal so he just thought it

was okay but then obviously as we know

once the authorities came in they shut

the operation down and here we can see

some of the stuff that they were showing

so definitely not hiding how successful

they were but that's where he's saying

that when he told him that he went to

Queer on several occasions the boss

responded that if you leave I'll kill

you and not in a joking Manner and then

it just became much worse where he's

saying that on the way to a local store

A car pulled up and a guy came out

showing Michael gun saying if you leave

I'm going to come back and see you so

it's pretty serious to make a threat

especially you know carrying a a firearm

just shows one more time guys that you

know when your business is in this area

and it gets very very big especially if

you are making videos showing the money

that you've made and all of the cars and

all of the other stuff then it won't

take long for the authorities to come

down and pleading there or I didn't know

that this wasn't 100 okay then I just

don't think that's going to work anymore

and if you are somebody that wants to

protect their privacy to stay anonymous

online there is actually a very very

special offer for the next two weeks

where ipvanish will give you Total

Protection for all of your devices so

that is unlimited devices at maximum

speed at just over three dollars a month

and that really is a fantastic price

only available for the next two weeks it

official partner for my channel so it

does help to support the channel if you

want to but definitely at that price

point to get really fast speeds to

change your IP address to access

geolocked content from all of your

worthwhile checking out so really

appreciate your support do leave me a
