Streaming platforms have developed so many shows, it’s hard to keep track.
Tell me if this has happened to you. You have a list of TV shows to watch on streamers. But the deeper you get into the current show you’re watching, more and more keep coming out. You can’t seem to catch up.
It can be overwhelming. This might be why the streaming platforms have gotten so big, that there’s a danger to the industry.
There are hundreds of scripted shows on streaming and network TV. Deep libraries have given people endless options to watch what they’re in the mood to see. Now, more than ever, people are choosing things that fall into one of two categories: insanely popular or insanely niche. This dichotomy has sort of hurt consumers.
Pick fatigue is very real, and many people just go back to old comfort shows instead of delving out into the overwhelming choices now present.
