This is probably one of the reasons why the streaming giants have seen such a huge incredible in subscribers over the past few months.

According to Variety, Netflix has gained over 10 million new subscribers worldwide during the lockdown period.

That’s a huge number, and it might also have something to do with the lack of competition.
