False equivalence. Netflix is 15 bucks and is an add on to cable for many.
Netflix subscriptions just passed all cable pay-TV subscriptions #marketingpic.twitter.com/TW8Rq7eiik

I know I’m jumping in uninvited here but interested in your opinion if instead this showed hours viewed per month on either?
-
Based on the most recent figures I found the average Netflix user watches 1.8 hours a day where as the average American watches 4.3 hours of live TV a day. It’s not even close and that doesn’t include all the apps with content that must be authenticated with a cable sub.
-
But let’s define “watch” in this context. When I’m watching Netflix, I am paying attention. When live TV is on, it’s typically background noise.
-
Is that a useful context? The value of attention is relative to the power of ads. Netflix has none. That’s 2 hours a day lost to advertisers, lost revenue opportunities to cable programmers.

@DanielSSutton might be interesting for you x -
Subscriptions are only half the story though. Traditional television average revenue per user is significantly greater that online services (7x).
