If you want to see everything, you have to book everything: according to this motto, video streaming providers are spreading their programs across more and more portals, each of which can be subscribed to for about ten euros per month. The major players Amazon, Disney and Netflix try to steal users from each other with exclusive content, while smaller providers such as Paramount+ or Apple TV+ imitate this. For customers this is mainly one thing: annoying and expensive.
Users are caught between the fronts in the ‘streaming wars’. While they cover everything with one service when it comes to music, there is no all-encompassing service in sight when it comes to video streaming. At most an oligopoly of three American companies, each wanting about ten euros a month. From anyone taking advantage of the offer, Netflix recently took action against account sharing as a cost-cutting measure, and Disney has similar plans. Time to take stock: a look at Austrians’ streaming preferences, the unpleasant consequences of the ‘Streaming Wars’ – and, above all, savings tips.
