"How K-streaming platforms can learn from Crunchyroll's success"
Streaming Korean content is not going to be the Netflix of the global market.
No matter how much you love Korean content, the language isn't as widespread as English or Spanish, and it's hard for any one country's streaming to become a global platform.
But streaming K-stories, which is growing alongside Netflix, is certainly possible. But strategy is a must. We can learn from Crunchyroll, which has 15 million subscribers. Their global market strategy is to "respond to thirst".
Along with future of K-content, the future of K-platforms is ours to make

"Winning(or survival) strategy against Netflix doesn't mean avoiding Netflix. On the contrary, Korean shows that Netflix can't do may be able to work globally"
The South Korea streaming market is also dominated by Netflix. According to one study, Netflix accounts for 60% of all time spent. But local streaming services are struggling, with growing deficits.
However, local streaming services are also sophisticating their survival strategies. Wavve, one of South Korea's leading local streamers, recently announced that it expects to reduce its losses by more than 30% in 2023. Their strategy is to streamline content investment.
Rather than investing in dramas, which require large amounts of capital, Wavve has focused on general entertainment, realities, and documentary genres.

Streaming: How cost-cutting is affecting content quality and availability
In the vibrant world of streaming services, where once the promise was endless access to a cornucopia of movies, TV shows, and original content, we're now witnessing a shift. Economic pressures, market saturation, and strategic pivots are leading to what many perceive as a decline in content quality and availability. Enter cost-cutting measures and the cancellation of shows.
Streaming platforms, initially fueled by rapid subscriber growth and investment in original content, are now facing a harsh economic reality. With subscriber growth slowing down and profitability becoming a priority, companies like Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max are reevaluating their content strategies:
The era of "Peak TV" has seen production budgets skyrocket, with series like "The Crown" or "The Mandalorian" costing millions per episode. With the pressure to turn a profit, there's a noticeable pivot towards more budget-friendly content or leveraging existing IPs. The cost of maintaining extensive libraries has led to the removal of content, either because licensing agreements expire or to avoid paying residuals. This practice has been especially prevalent with platforms like Hulu and Disney+. To manage costs, platforms are selectively removing content, sometimes even their own originals, to claim tax benefits or to focus on content that drives new subscriptions.
This shift has had several cascading effects:
Viewer Frustration: Fans are increasingly vocal about their dissatisfaction when favorites like "Gordita Chronicles" or "Westworld" disappear from platforms. This not only affects viewer trust but can lead to subscription churn.
Creators' Earnings: The removal of shows impacts residuals for creators, which are already lower in the streaming model compared to traditional TV. This can discourage new talent and affect the overall industry's sustainability.
Cultural Loss: The disappearance of content, especially originals, raises questions about cultural preservation, acces and revenue particularly for actors that are not being paid anymore since content is gone from platforms.
Here are some examples where content has been taken out or moved to a rent or buy system, often to the detriment of paying customers:
Disney+:
"Willow"
"The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers"
"Diary of a Future President"
HBO Max (now Max):
"Gordita Chronicles"
"Westworld"
"Minx"
Netflix:
"Arrested Development" (though later reversed)
Many titles cycle off due to licensing, with some popular movies and series moving to rent/buy when no longer available for streaming.

Streaming services are facing new challenges!
Global streaming platforms are shifting their focus from simply attracting subscribers to keeping them engaged. They're doing this by offering a mix of exclusive shows, sports, and a vast library of content.
A recent study reveals key insights into streaming content.
- A new report analyzes the content on major streaming platforms. It highlights several key findings:
- Most content is exclusive but underwatched: 93% of content is exclusive to a single platform, but a significant portion goes unwatched.
- Licensed shows are more popular: Licensed TV shows are twice as popular as original programming, especially non-exclusive content.
- Recent content dominates: Over 80% of content is from the last 35 years, with less than 12% being older.
- Global content is on the rise: Only 44% of content is produced in the U.S., indicating a growing global focus.
- Drama is king: Drama is the most popular genre, often with a tense mood.

👀 In today's competitive streaming landscape, content recommendations are more crucial than ever. With households subscribing to an average of 4.6 VoD services, the ability of a platform to deliver personalized and high-quality recommendations can make or break user satisfaction.
Despite this, only 8% of viewers are happy with the recommendations they receive. Netflix takes the lead, thanks to its advanced algorithms and AI-driven suggestions. Dynamic thumbnails and personalized ads enhance the user experience, making Netflix the go-to choice for 37% of streamers discovering new content – far ahead of Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios at 14%.
Interestingly, interface issues are also a significant factor in cancellations. While 30% of Q2 cancellations were due to content dissatisfaction, 24% were because of challenges in finding content or poor ad experiences.
