KEY POINTS
- In the face of profit pressures and growing competition for users, streamers have taken to removing content to avoid the residual payments and licensing fees.
- Narrowing content libraries naturally means a need for differentiation.
- Data from Fandom, which hosts more than 50 million wiki pages on entertainment properties, suggests where the major streaming platforms are best poised to specialize based on current viewership.
So streaming services are really becoming on demand cable. How long until someone bundles a bunch and makes a company out of it?
