Netflix is way out in front of all the streamers and will be for many years to come. People will ditch pay tv channels if they need to do so in order to keep Netflix and where money is an issue, they will supplement their viewing with AVOD and in the short term, the terrestrial channels.

Just look at the week’s schedules for Sky One, Sky Witness and Sky Atlantic and do a quick assessment on whether you think they are value for money compared with Netflix. True, there are one or two good programmes on there, but they are surrounded by piles of absolute dross. I only subscribe to Sky for those one or two good programmes, but they represent pretty poor value for money IMHO.
