Leaving Sky after 20 years because of adverts! Netflix, Prime and Disney are better! Sky will collapse like Blockbuster because of an unsustainable business model!

Of course that's always possible: satellite television started in the last century before high speed internet access was conceived of. Whether linear broadcasting itself has a long term future is currently uncertain.

Those are global businesses: Sky is a small regional platform. At the moment Netflix struggles to make money, while both Amazon and the Disney Corporation can afford to lose a dollar or two on streaming and make this up elsewhere. What realistic sustainable pricing is remains to be seen.
