View submission: Paramount Posts $286M Fourth Quarter Streaming Loss
Nah, the only reason Netflix is winning is because they were first and it's the one people are comfortable with.
Netflix pumps out a ton of stuff, but nearly all of it is forgettable and easily skipped.
If you measure it by original content that is actually worth watching, they're no better than any of the others.

It also helps that Netflix remains to be the most user friendly and stable platform. Their content has definitely started lacking, but at least it doesn’t constantly freeze up, jitter and skip, error out, and you can easily navigate, search, rewind/fast-forward, etc.
I love a lot of Paramount’s content but sometimes I just can’t deal with the experience… it’s so frustrating.

Yeah netflix is essentially the default streaming service if people are going to subscribe to one and one only.

It wasn't always like that. When Netflix was producing shows/movies pre-2017 it was always something worth at least checking out. Now they just toss shit at the wall and hope it's the next Tiger King.

That is the correct answer. Most people are too stupid to realize they only need one streaming service at a time, they just have to rotate it in every 2-4 months, when finished with the most interesting stuff.
