Yes, true. I was specifically referring to streaming of non-live content.
To your second paragraph, that’s a good question. I work for a company that provides live linear streaming along with our non-linear service, and last I heard, the live stream still had the majority share of views. I was a little surprised by that because of the size of the VOD offering, but then I remember how people just love throwing on the TV for noise and not think of it.
Further to that, I occasionally use Pluto, and I find that it’s often easier to just throw on the South Park live channel vs. navigating to the VOD channel and picking an episode. Maybe I’m just one of those old people. Lol.
That’s interesting that your company is seeing this trend for VOD. As a fellow old person even prior to streaming services being a thing I used to record tv shows on a pvr from the digital broadcast and then essentially watch on demand. You could skips ads etc and watch free to air at your own schedule.
