With more and more streaming services on the market, it is only natural that at some point one or the other provider will have to make room again. Which service could you most likely do without?
Streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, Sky or Amazon Prime Video have been on the rise for years. However, the increasing number of users also means that more and more new providers are entering the market. Many film and series fans have therefore long subscribed to more than one streaming platform. But at some point the offer becomes too large and confusing. Then, of course, a provider has to give way. Which streaming service could you most likely live without? Let us know in our big TECHBOOK survey!

Current streaming trends
The streaming market is currently developing very dynamically. The corona pandemic has accelerated certain trends. Among other things, the trend clearly points in the direction of series production. Large providers such as Netflix or Sky are increasingly producing their own content in order to exclusively retain customers. Large studios such as Disney or Warner have also sensed their chance and launched their own streaming services with Disney+ and HBO Max.
On the one hand, this results in an oversupply of platforms. On the other hand, all of these streaming services offer more or less exclusive content. In order to always be up to date in the field of films and series, one service or two or three is no longer enough. However, it can be observed on the customer side that more and more users would like a bundled offer.
More on the topic: How is the selection of streaming providers made?
Another trend is that the providers are trying to position themselves more broadly in terms of content, for example with the transmission of sports events. RTL and thus RTL+ have secured the rights for all Europa League games with German participation. However, with such large rights packages, streaming services are also becoming increasingly expensive. Recently, for example, the prices for Amazon Prime (video) and Netflix rose.
