Summary

In 2024, Americans spent 23% less on streaming services, averaging $42.38 per month, down from $55.04 in 2023.

Factors include “streaming fatigue,” with 27.8% overwhelmed by the number of apps, and increased spending on cable/satellite TV, which rose 11% to $89.29 monthly.

Many switched to cheaper ad-supported streaming options, which hit a record 43% of subscriptions.

The average American now has two streaming services, watches four hours daily, and 26.5% share accounts with others, reflecting shifting viewing and spending habits.

    Also the fact that it can be three damn years between seasons.

    Yeah, season one of Severance was cool, but I barely remember any details beyond the main premise now that season two is starting in two weeks.

      I’ve resorted to a rewatch of shows prior to their new season launch. Wheel of Time is one such show I’ve done this with; also Arcane - there’s so much to follow and my brain tends to just lose details over time for shows. I’ll be watching Severance season one again soon.

      Better yet it gets cancelled without closure a season or two in.
