Why video streaming platforms “fight for exclusive content” while music streaming platforms provide almost the same content ?
If I want to watch a marvel movie I need a subscription to disney+, if I want to watch the boys it’s on prime video, if it’s sex education it’s on netflix.
I’m willing to pay 50€/month for a service that provides everything but that doesn’t exist… (I know I can subscribe to almost everything at this price, but there’s too much trouble switching between apps to find a specific movie). So the question is “why it is this way for video and the other way for music ?”
In: Other
Because Apple Music and Spotify have so solidified themselves as market leaders that you might as well not exist if you’re not on those platforms.
And because recording is only part of their revenue. The other, and larger, source of revenue is live concerts which is where most artists make the real money from ticket sales and merchandise.
