Streaming services started as an add-on to DVD and digital download offerings and featured a trickle of second-run movies and TV shows. They were supplements to the programs you watched on their first (and second) runs on cable TV. But speedier internet connections and an abundance of media-streaming devices have accelerated the decline of traditional cable. An increasing number of people are cutting the cord in favor of dedicated streaming alternatives.
Entertainment and tech giants are not blind to the threat, though, and the media landscape is rapidly changing. Consolidation and curation—that is, owning the most media properties and serving the best content—seem to be the overarching goals of the players involved. Streaming services are only growing larger and more numerous, leaving you with an overwhelming number of options. If you’re looking to toss some money at a streaming video service, our top picks are a terrific starting point.
