The Rise of Video Streaming: How On-Demand Content is Changing Entertainment Habits

Video streaming has become one of the most popular online activities. As technology and internet connectivity improves, more and more people are choosing to stream movies and TV shows rather than watch scheduled broadcasts. Here is a look at some of the key factors that have fueled the rise of video streaming. The Growth of Mobile Connectivity With the wide availability of fast mobile internet, people can now access streaming services anywhere. As long as they have a smartphone or tablet, users are no longer tied to their TVs or computers to stream content. Whether commuting or traveling, streaming video on mobile devices allows people to enjoy their favorite shows and movies on the go. This level of convenience has vastly expanded the reach of streaming platforms. The Rise of Streamers and Content Exclusives Major tech players like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ saw the potential in streaming and invested heavily in exclusive original content. Netflix in particular defined the binge-watch model and greenlit many award-winning shows that were huge hits with audiences. Other streamers followed suit by offering compelling new titles found only on their platforms. This exclusivity gave subscribers a clear reason to choose and stay with one service over the others. The Impact of Niche Streaming Services In addition to the large general entertainment Video Streaming, many niche services catering to specific interests also emerged over the past decade. For example, services focusing on faith and family values, African American interests, Korean drama, horror/thriller genres, children’s content and more found audiences hungry for such focused selections. These niche streamers brought further fragmentation but also gave people many new specialized options to choose from. Better User Experiences than Traditional TV Streaming interfaces tend to be intuitively designed with personalized recommendation engines suggesting new shows based on past viewing habits. Users can easily browse catalogs by genres, pick up where they left off across devices and get subtitles or dubs in many languages. These superior user experiences, coupled with on-demand availability, meant people were no longer tied to broadcast schedules or regions. Streamers free users from the constraints of traditional television and allow for a more immersive viewing experience. Lower Cost of Video Streaming Monthly subscription fees for most top streamers like Netflix are lower than cable TV packages while offering access to all one can watch. Add-on services for specific content like HBO on Hulu are also priced reasonably. The lower costs attracted many “cord-cutters” who no longer saw value in expensive cable or satellite packages. As inflation rises, streaming remains an affordable entertainment option for most as prices of these services have remained the same or increased only marginally over the years while cable costs kept climbing. Growing Library Sizes Fuel Longer Viewing Subscription streamers keep expanding their catalogs to keep users engaged longer with a wide variety of titles. Netflix alone hosts thousands of movies and TV shows with new additions every week. While it is humanly impossible to exhaust such voluminous and ever-growing libraries, the improved odds of finding something appealing anytime ensures streamers remain the default choice for most casual entertainment occasions instead of live TV.

Now that my twitter is scrubbed, it's about time I started posting some of my old, possibly insane Psychonauts AUs here. I figured I should start with this one, mostly because I'm nearly positive I kept sneaking vampire Morrises into other sketch pages during streams. Long story short, I played one singular CRPG (HoMM3 my beloved...) as a kid, and what started as "lol what faction would they all play" became a long term AU with character arcs and lore dug up from that game, the game that game was a spinoff from, obscure dev interviews, and multiple wikis.
