PwC’s REPORT shows that 68% of the households maintained their cable TV subscription while keeping multiple streaming subscriptions. A market research done by Vionlabs and Dynata in 2021 among 18-64 years old in the U.S. found out that 40% of people have more than 3 subscriptions at the same time.

  • Maximize Entertainment -> Maximizing the entertainment for users while consuming their favorite content. 55% of users say that “easy-to-use” is important for them to stay with the services.
