The EUIPO speculates that financial pressures, like inflation, means that people have less money to spend on entertainment. This can be seen in the way that fewer people are signing up for Netflix or Amazon Prime – and some are even cancelling their subscriptions altogether.

And then these streaming services are starting to remove the things people paid for. I set up a Plex server and just use that to watch things now.
