アベマTVが好調みたいですね。結局テレビをそのまま持ってくるという様式論は変えずに内容をエロとか右左とか昔のテレビっぽいものに戻すやり方は正しいなーって思ってます。昭和のテレビ番組ってものすごいアンダーグラウンドなやつ多かったですから。番組によっては見る人は偏りますけど、個人に一個ずつチャンネルがある状況ですからどれだけ分散しても総量は変わらず、ということですね。ただここまで一気に伸びると思ってなかったのでそういう意味でサイバーエージェントさんというか藤田さんという方はやはりすごいですね。
アベマみたから、というわけじゃないですが、YouTubeもケーブルテレビっぽいストリーミング考えてるみたいです。Huluの数字も出てましたので後ほどピックアップしてみます。
