The only way they can loose that race is tying themselves to an anvil and taking a shotgun to both kneecaps, and it would still be close.
Non Sanctified streaming sites can't load balance automatically, customers have to manually switch between different video sources. 4K isn't even an option. So many many ads. And adblockers on mobile aren't as good. Downloading for offline viewing is a joke. Captions sometimes completely broken, and only a few languages. What's audio description?
Netflix so freaked out that people will just download a copy of the whole thing. But it's happening already, and most people cannot afford to have 4k copies of the office filling up their only harddrive. Datahoarders are a tiny tiny minority.
Yet it seems they are losing 🤣 Big Stream should stop complaining; it sounds like a skill issue
Crap, I use FMovies. If the site is making headlines like this I'm probably going to need another site soon
Wouldn't SimilarWeb not be counting people who watch streaming services via apps rather than their websites? As that would be most of the traffic for those services, it not being counted would skew results in favor of FMovies, since it doesn't have a comparable app.
Gay shit takes forever to land on these streaming websites, sometimes you never find the titles, so torrents are somehow better
The fact that the sites are often Russian probably explains that.
