Different target audiences. Now the parents can be watching "Good Omens" or "Game of Thrones" on Netflix while the kids are streaming "The Lion King" on Disney+ streaming. Instead of the whole family watching one show together, now we have segmentation in the marketplace. End result is more total overall bandwidth consumption. Matt On Tue, Nov 12, 2019, 12:38 Brian J.

But the time spent watching Disney would *replace* (not be in addition to, or would it? Would Disney's content result in existing streamers watching more hours of streaming than they did before?) Netflix watching.Has anybody seen a significant drop in total streaming traffic due to Netflix users jumping ship to Amazon/Hulu, or are consumers just biting the bullet, coughing up the $$, and streaming more total because across the services there's more stuff they want to watch?I actually suspect streaming is going to decline (at least in comparison to where it could have grown to) if this streaming service fragmentation continues. I think people are going to reject the idea that they need to subscribe to a dozen streaming services at $10-$20/mo. each and will be driven back the good old "single source" (piracy) they used to use before 1 (or perhaps 2) streaming services kept them happy enough to abandon piracy. The content providers are going to piss in their bed again due to greed. Again. Cheers, b.
