There is a lot of content out there now for almost every demographic on each of these platforms so finding something to watch is rarely a problem. But that doesn’t mean silos aren’t real.
Hollywood movies are available on any rental service. But not all good movies are made/produced by the big studios now. So they remain unavailable unless you subscribe.
Personally I’ve found the netflix mail service to be the best for scratching the itch of arbitrary movies, if you can be patient.
EDIT: also, TV shows are clearly siloed, but I was under the impression you were referring to movie rentals.
And of course I meant now, and in the US.
In the US. I.e. for roughly 10% of the Internet-connected population.
EDIT: I originally wrote "1%" which was correctly pointed out to be wrong. I meant 10% (the US population divided by 50% of the planet), just did an off-by-one-zero error.
> nearly 290 million internet users as of 2016
According to https://www.statista.com/statistics/617136/digital-populatio...
> almost 4.2 billion people were active internet users
The US is roughly 7% of the Internet connected population.
1%?
Seems pretty reasonable to me to be alarmist.
Jeez. Extrapolate much? A few things are siloed. Almost everything is available at both Apple and Amazon.
