Disney And Apple TV Plus Are Big Because Others Laid The Groundwork▼
Disney Plus is set to be one of the biggest competitors of the streaming industry ever, but the company wouldn't have gotten to this point without the groundwork laid by older platforms like HBO Now, Amazon Prime Video and, most importantly, Netflix. Dustin York, Associate Professor of Communication at Maryville University, told us more. "Netflix has already done all the hard, hard work to this because they have convinced the American public that they can cut the cord, right? Disney doesn't have to convince people to do that part of it anymore. As you know, there's more Netflix subscriptions than there are cable subscriptions now in the United States. So Netflix has already paved the way for other competitors to come in." A recent report from the Convergence Research Group estimates that in 2018, revenue for digital streaming services increased to $16.3 billion. And for the first time ever, more Americans pay for streaming than cable or satellite TV, according to a survey from Deloitte . Source
