When we talked about streaming services not long ago, the choices were very small. Within a decade, the number of streamers available out there has become somewhat overwhelming to many consumers. So, to many people, it might take a lot of work to figure out which platform is currently the best when it comes to streaming content. So, let’s take a look at some of the best platforms currently available and some of the benefits that come with them to allow people to make their choices. With no big surprise, you will see some familiar names but also some less familiar names that have been somewhat ignored either by a lack of popularity or simply because they are smaller than other platforms available on the market right now.
Netflix
When we talk about streaming one name comes to mind first and foremost and it is Netflix. While many people know Netflix is the former red box that used to send DVDs through the mail when you rented them the reality is that it is now one of the most important streamers out there. It not only revolutionized the way we see online media nowadays, but it also created the very model to which many other companies modeled their streaming platforms. One of the great aspects of Netflix is that it produces a lot of its content including movies. It is important to understand though that many of the series and movies people used to love watching on Netflix have now been pulled back to their streaming platform which means that depending on where you are in the world Netflix might not have as much of the selection as you might expect.
Prime Video
Prime Video is of course the answer to Netflix of the Amazon company. While it initially didn’t pose a lot of problems to other streaming platforms the reality is that Prime hasn’t become one of the biggest streaming platforms out there, especially thanks to their productions. Shows like The Boys and Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power have brought a great number of viewers who have now chosen to stick with Prime Video since the Amazon Prime subscription includes many more services. If you are one of those who subscribe to Prime Video you will find yourself also subscribed to a monthly audible benefit as well as Amazon Music and Twitch Streaming. On top of that, you will also benefit from prime shipping when shopping on Amazon store. There is also talk about Amazon Prime Video possibly becoming the biggest streaming platform out there as it keeps creating more and more original content that not only breaks records in viewership on streaming platforms but also crosses over a lot of audiences.
IPTV
This service is one of the smaller ones compared to other massive streamers, but it will make you feel like you are spending your money somewhere that is worth it. One of the great things about this service is that you can get IPTV in the UK, as well as in America. This service not only works on any device worldwide, but it also comes with an Android app that has an embedded VPN for recordings. True this streaming platform you’ll be able to watch any live sporting event and PPV event you want including any sports content your heart desires. You can also use this service to launch movies and series including adult content without having to worry about any local or regional restrictions on your streaming service. Unlike many other services, this is also a very cheap service that will allow you to have access to all this content for a fixed fee which you can pay monthly or yearly. Thanks to I quality servers you will also avoid any type of freezing during your watch time which means that you can have a smooth viewing session without any bother. This is not only good for casual viewers but also for expats who are looking to keep up with their country’s news.
As you can see there are many options when it comes to streaming especially now that there are Internet Protocol television services available which make it possible for people to view content from other countries that are playing live on TV. The reality of course is that as technology develops the globalization of culture and media will become easier and easier and potentially more affordable for everyone. Only time will tell how streaming platforms will mold themselves in the future.
