Streaming services decline for first time!

[XIII]

I do agree that quality over quantity is the way to go.  For every Man In The High Castle or The Crown there's a truckload of utter turkeys.

I wonder if having a "shop window" linear outlet for Netflix and to a lesser extent Amazon would be helpful - a lot of the content you never know about as it either doesn't get advertised so if you dont stumble across it you miss it.  The other issue of course is that without linear TX you've lost the whole "water cooler" aspect - so you lose the word of mouth aspect.

Often there's enough decent movies on iPlayer (and the other PSB streamers) if you can live with a 2.0 soundtrack.

I can't see Netflix launching a linear service but I wonder if they might down the AVOD route like Amazon has with IMDb TV/Amazon Freevee to monetise their older content.
