Streaming platforms have never had so many subscribers, and yet… behind the scenes, morale is at half mast. For lack of having found a sustainable economic model, Netflix, Prime Video or even Disney +, to name a few, are struggling against increasingly fierce financial pressure. Another challenge they encounter is the fragmentation of the video-on-demand landscape. In this hypercompetitive sector, in permanent change, each company must now fight not to lose its place.
This instability is not without consequences on the fictions that we watch: formatting of scenarios to focus on efficiency rather than originality, co-financing of projects between competing platforms or even the sudden disappearance of series that are not very profitable. However, the transformation of the sector also brings its share of windows for creation and the platforms have certainly not said their last word.
In this episode of the “L’Heure du Monde” podcast, Audrey Fournier and Thomas Sotinel, journalists at Worldexplain why the platforms are experiencing such upheaval and what avenues are at work to get them out of the impasse.
