The Impact Of Netflix

Netflix and other streaming services have changed the way in whcih we watch television and movies.

Opposed to having to wait every week for 1 episode you can now 'binge watch' entire series that have been uploaded to netflix over as much or as little time as possible.

However "Netflix generates on average roughly 38 minutes of viewing per day in households that have it, linear TV generates more like 3.5 hours of viewing per household on average and well over 2 hours a day even amongst the younger, so-called “Netflix generation”. A billion hours streamed by Netflix compares to 65 billion hours streamed (ok, broadcast…) by linear TV. And although Netflix offers a great service – simple, smart, easy to use and relatively inexpensive, and although some of its original programming is getting widely talked about and often praised for its quality, t here is little to suggest that people are, as yet, doing anything more revolutionary than adding it to their existing TV diet."


Because services like netflix make their revenue by monthly subscriptions, and only streaming content which they must pay to stream whilst also not being able to keep the content, Netlfix has began creating netflix originals such as 'stranger things' where it is produced and distributed solely by Netflix meaning they do not have to pay to stream it.
