Why is streaming video still so messy?

“Especially the leaders are transitioning from trying to build the most market share and the biggest customer base they can to more of a focus on profitability,” said Jennifer Kent, VP of research at Parks Associates.
 
She said niche content companies like Britbox or Crunchyroll might have an easier time turning a profit. But most of the bigger platforms are having trouble. Netflix recently claimed it’s the only large-scale streaming company making money.
 
“So I do think that you’re going to see more acquisitions,” said Kent. “You know those who aren’t able to kinda show that they can turn a profit maybe being eaten up by some of the larger services.”
 
Until then you’ll have to figure out your own method to the madness. Something like watching “The White Lotus” via HBO Max via Amazon Prime via Roku via your TV.
