What does the 11.6% Other section represent?
Probably people buying movies on Xbox or iTunes etc. Less chance of losing access to it if you buy it somewhere
There’s only less chance if you make multiple DRM free backups.
I bet it’s more like traditional on-demand services as well as piracy streaming.
Piracy
With the caveat that it’s difficult to quantify some methods. Far more difficult than just collecting streaming data from corporate services. I’d suggest it’s underreported.
that’s the “other”
Me using Revanced, Smart Tube Next, Stremio and Kodi with Real Debrid.
Stremio and Real-Debrid is the best thing to happen ever, but when I try to explain how good it is on the Piracy communities, nobody believes me. “Sounds too good to be true”, they tell me.
And don’t forget people who aside not believing you either because of ignorance or because they had a bad initial experience with RD or alike defend with tooth and nail their Plex or Jellyfin server, when it is perfectly valid to have both (I also have a Plex server, but I didn’t mention it though). 🤷🏻
Your nerdy cousin’s Jellyfin.
it’s Nielsen data so probably VHS
What does this measure? Minutes watched? Subscriptions? Episodes watched?
“Total streaming and tv snapshot”, duh… /s
Reminds me of that scene in Its Always Sunny where they’re using the thetan stand-in machine.
“What does this actually measure?” “…units!”
Or collecting gas to resell. Charlie and his plan to count the gas.
He knows how to count, dude.
Yeah, but where do I put my feet?
I’m actually surprised how close Netflix is to YouTube. I know YouTube is absolutely massive, but I didn’t know Netflix was nearly just a big.
For me it was vise versa. If its purely by minutes, there’s no way I watch more than 20 youtube videos a week, let’s say 5 minutes length each would be barely 2 hour of content.
Versus on Netflix I can easily watch on average 1 episode a day (or binge 7 in 1 day :P) for at least 7 hours a week
One big difference: YouTube is free.
I probably watch about 4 hours a day of YouTube. Two hours of audiobooks for my commute, then lots of interest specific channels once I get home. I have it in the background of a bunch of stuff too for music or podcasts.
It has momentum, it was the only one in the game for a little while, and the go to for most for a long while after Amazon and Disney/Fox/Comcast started their streaming services. It’s really the only reason they still exist at this point, with how much their competition is chipping away at their ability to provide content. Their need to justify their existence to their shareholders isn’t helping… but that’s true of all the streaming services. They’re just hit harder since this is their only horse.
I’m wondering if “YouTube” includes YouTubeTV. I watch very little on YouTube but we’ve been using YouTubeTV instead of cable for several years now and then use it for all our local channels plus ESPN, etc.
I don’t know. But many people I know only watch YouTube, and little to none of other streaming services.
Kinda surprised Pluto, Tubi, and Roku aren’t higher with all these other services jacking prices up.
per week? per day? in primetime? the sourcing on this is trash. what demo? what measurement? is this based on reach? households? individuals? what region? is this total US or a specific DMA?
Sources? Metrics? What sort of blasphemy is this, be quiet and look at the cool pie chart.
This is the source given. It’s in total minutes.
I’m kind of surprised anyone watches broadcast or cable television. Is it just for background noise or is there anything actually worth watching between all those ads?
I wonder how many cable “viewers” are from TVs running 24/7 in waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, etc. I know that’s the only way I’ve watched any cable channels in the past 15 years or so.
Broadcast and Cable have always seemed like arbitrary distinctions to me. Like, it’s TV. The channel I’m watching isn’t a different format.
Yes, but it’s interesting to know how many people are watching free broadcast TV vs local channels through cable, especially when cable co (and YouTubeTV) need to negotiate with the locals to carry them.
I had a lady come by that wanted my family to be a “Nielsen family” with the monitors and everything. I had to explain to her that I didn’t have cable, or any streaming services, and only an antenna. I explained my TV was used for video games, youtube videos, and the occasional blu ray.
I’m in my 40s. She looked at me like I had three heads. She couldn’t wrap her head around the idea of not zoning out on whatever bullshit reality TV of the week is randomly playing on cable.
Not really that shocking.
We really won. What is the cost of all those streaming services?
I have - most - of these services, but a few are bundled into other services I already have, such as Paramount+ with my Walmart +.
But by my quick math, it’s about 147$ of services, retail, per month if you’re going Ad-free, take ~20% off if you’re willing to waste the time with ads.
That’s about 40$ more than I spend on my monthly total, but your mileage will differ depending on if you add in things like Starz, Showtime, etc.
So, we’ve crossed the threshold where a “complete access package” is roughly what it was with cable in the mid 00’s.
How much TV do you watch that justifies all of that?
My wife and I both work from home in our respective offices, so we each usually have a show going that we’re each half-watching between meetings, and then one we were actually into that we follow together in the evenings while new episodes release. Maybe 8 hours a day, cumulative/for us both, if you count the steaming in the background.
I primarily just watch lots of re-runs of Futurama and such - so, Hulu is my main stream, I’d probably be fine with just that.
Wife is into watching the new stuff on all the random networks like Yellowjackets, Outlander, 1888, Bridgerton, Wheel of Time, and a lot of others. Those are scattered across a ton of services, sadly.
But without the ads and without the need to purchase everything at the same time.
And the ability to watch on-demand instead of waiting for something to pop up or constantly checking guides to see when something might be on.
After more than 20 years of DVRs and on-demand content it seems really weird to me that anyone watches broadcast content (other than sports) anywhere other than waiting rooms.
And it’s still cheaper than cable. Cable companies always advertise their introductory rates, but never the real ones.
Absolutely, since HBO and a bunch of other streaming options are add ons.
My in laws have cable and it is $200+ for just the channels that we get streaming for under $100, and sports. Sports are apparently worth over $100 a month even with all the ads across all channels.
Walmart+
LMAO the world has jumped the shark
It’s free for employees. But it’s the ad laden version of Paramount and no Showtime. Also Paramount has been .moving everything over to the Showtime tier at a rapid rate.
To be fair, the + thing is older than the likes of Disney+. For example, Google+.
Walmart+ is equivalent to Amazon Prime.
I’m the same, but I’ve started cancelling packages in the face of cost increases and the inability to share my account with my fixed-income mother. I had subscribed to all of the major services as well as ones like Shudder (before they got bundled). It was a frog boiling thing - I wanted to watch a movie, it was on Service X, so I subscribed to X.
I’m down to about 5 services after having over a dozen, not including bundles. I just cancelled HBO over their anti-family sharing policy, and I will probably cancel Disney next for the same reason.
I’m planning on rotating subscriptions, other than Prime and possibly Apple. Every month or two I’ll cancel a couple of services and re-subscribe to a couple. I’ll use that time to catch up on some series while others fill in.
Zero, matey! Arrrr!!!
I know what will fix that… MORE ADS!1!!!

They didn’t include ponyo?
What’s “other”? Finger puppets?
