  • 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.

    Wait, are they using “streamer” to refer to the provider and not the subscriber? That’s weird.

      well, a streamer should be an individual content creator, not a subscriber or a platform - and this article is talking about the big service providers.

      was really difficult to understand what the hell was going on until then.
