Interesting article in the FT suggesting that the only streaming service winners will be YouTube and ByteDance (a Chinese service similar to YouTube).

Many younger viewers barely care about premium content at all. Instead they are fixated on short clips of home-made material consumed on the likes of YouTube, Snapchat and TikTok. Netflix boasts 152m subscribers. On YouTube a single personality, PewDiePie, has 101m subscribers for his cheap and controversial content.
