Why Are Streaming Services Considered More Appealing to Creative Content

question 2

Short Answer

Why are streaming services considered more appealing to creative content creators than traditional TV?
For producers, writers, and directors, the creative side feels less constrained. Netflix execs state, "If you give people a more creative format, then they can tell their stories better." With streaming, there's no need to plan cliff-hangers at the end of a program or even write for the standard time lengths, like the 22-minute standard for commercial sitcom television. "In the world of weekly serialized television you get fifty minutes of joy watching a show and then 10,000 minutes of waiting for the next one." With binge watching, users can keep track of more complex plot lines and series with many characters. It also removes standard episode length (like 22 minutes for commercial broadcast sitcoms). The kind of artistic creativity offered by streaming makes Netflix, as stated by the Hollywood Reporter, "one of the most attractive buyers of original programming in town."
