โโ๐บ Competing for Consumer Attention
The pressure on linear TV isnโt just coming from streaming services such as #Netflix and #Hulu. Both are part of a wider competition for the consumerโs free time with other media formats.
Consumers are now clocking up an average of around 2:20 hours per day on #SocialMedia, rising to around 3 hours among 16-24s. Online and print press, games consoles, music streaming and broadcast radio collectively constitute around 5 hours of a consumerโs day. Thatโs not including the hour and a quarter spent watching online #TV, and the 6 ยพ hours spent online more broadly on a daily basis.
Consumer attention in this crowded environment has become harder to maintain.
Linear TV, does however, have a lot to boast about here. With the exception of social media, linear TV captures the largest share of daily media time among consumers, standing at 18%, significantly above online TVโs 12%. And considering social media engagement happens frequently throughout the day whereas TV engagement is mostly in long durations, thatโs an impressive feat.

๐บ YouTube is Responsible for 37% of All Mobile Internet Traffic
A new report by Sandvine has revealed the applications responsible for the most downstream mobile traffic in the world. Underlining the popularity of streaming services, #YouTube accounts for the most megabytes with 37 percent - an awfully long way ahead of second-placed #Facebook with 8.4 percent and #Snapchat with 8.3 percent. #Netflix, which accounts for the most internet traffic overall, only manages 2.4 percent when it comes to mobile.

โโ๐บ Netflix Sees Unprecedented Growth Amid Pandemic
While no one in their right mind would wish for a global health emergency/economic crisis, itโs hard to make a list of companies that might profit from the current situation and not have #Netflix on that list. A global crisis that forces people to stay home for weeks? Movie theaters, bars, restaurants, and gyms shuttered? No live sports on TV? What else are people supposed to do but cuddle up and watch Tiger King?
Netflixโs latest quarterly results seem to confirm that notion, as the streaming giant added more paid subscribers over the past six months than ever before in its history. Nearly 16 million people signed up for the service in the first quarter alone, with another 10 million subscribers added by the end of June. That brings Netflix's global paid memberships to 193 million, up 26 million since the beginning of 2020. To add some perspective, Netflix added just 12 million subscribers in the first half of 2019 and less than 28 million in the entire year.
