And some have pointed out that it kind of stems from something that it essentially pioneered, and that's binge-watching.
So if you remember, binging was great because when you compare it to traditional TV and you really enjoyed a show and all you had to do was pick a free weekend and you're like, I can just watch this entire season and I didn't have to wait another week to watch an episode and sit and watch at a certain time.
But today, you have TikTok.
Today, you have YouTube and Reels, which are platforms that are actually stealing away attention and eyeballs and time from its users.
According to eMarketer, TikTok was near Netflix in terms of time spent back in 2024.
US adults spent an average of 62.1 minutes per day streaming and...
streaming on Netflix and 58.4 minutes per day on TikTok.
So the gap is kind of closing there.
And of course you have YouTube who generally pulls in more monthly viewership, monthly viewership than any other streaming platform.
It's constantly generally number one, according to Neilson's report.
And there we have access to both short form and long form videos.
So for Netflix, the real competition isn't TV anymore.
It's apps like TikTok and YouTube.
Yeah, another way that they're trying to capture and expand audiences is reportedly they're using shorter video content by adding content from publishers like BuzzFeed, Conde Nast, Variety.
And you're already seeing some of this with what you said, video podcasts.
It is a way for them to test out whether subscribers would be open to watching that shorter type of content that is typically for the web.
such as news, lifestyle, how-tos, because these are videos that are faster and, more importantly, cheaper to produce than, let's say, a scripted series.
So here's the thing.
If it works, though, and if people are turning to Netflix to watch these types of videos, you could potentially see them starting to develop more in-house content of this style.
All right, well, before we get into my winner of the weekend, let's go ahead and take a quick break.
