| 0:00.0 | So the average number of video streaming services utilized by the United States users has fallen |
| 0:08.4 | for the first time. Wow, and I'm not quite sure what to make of this. The research firm, |
| 0:14.3 | Omedia, OMDIA, put out a report that said the figure declined from 7.23 is the average in U.S. |
| 0:26.1 | households in November to 7.06 in April. So it doesn't seem like a big decline, but it is a |
| 0:34.3 | decline. So I guess that we're thinking we're at the ultimate limit to the number of services a |
| 0:43.2 | consumer will be able to manage. And the U.S. growth seems to be stumbling and maybe we've hit |
| 0:51.0 | the new ceiling. I don't know. They still continue to say that Netflix and Disney will be fine. And |
| 1:01.4 | they don't mention this here. I don't know that I guess Prime doesn't count because you have to |
| 1:06.0 | be prime is part of the full Amazon package. They haven't split that up yet, which I would think |
| 1:13.9 | is going to come soon. But we'll see while pay TV is largely stable on their subscription video |

| 1:51.2 | content you're going to use and what content is having this show on and that show on. I love it. |
| 1:57.6 | But okay, it's still on the rise in the UK. They're at 5.78 services per user. But that's still, |
| 2:07.5 | you know, way below the average of the United States users. So we'll see maybe if the economy |
| 2:14.1 | has something to do with it, people are starting to realize, oh, you know, maybe I don't need to |
| 2:18.0 | spend that for that particular streaming service. And I'm kind of that way with YouTube TV. |
| 2:26.8 | Now, you know, they, they keep jacking the price up on YouTube TV plus all the other streaming |
| 2:32.6 | devices, streaming services. It's, it's getting to be, you know, a couple of bucks out of your |
| 2:40.4 | pocket, a couple of bucks out of your pocket. And perhaps with the economy starting to struggle a |
