As the release date of Disney+, Disney’s fledgling entrant in the streaming wars, draws closer, the company is starting to get serious friction burns with competing platforms — namely, Netflix and Amazon.

Netflix seems like an obvious competitor. As the entrenched favorite streaming service with the biggest audience, Netflix sets the standard for Disney+ to meet or beat. And Disney’s evidently not going to do its rival any favors. According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Disney is banning Netflix from advertising on any of its TV networks. Insiders claim that this originally stretched to all rival streaming networks, but Disney later reversed that decision for every company except Netflix.
