KEY POINTS

• In the face of profit pressures and growing competition for users, streamers have taken to removing content to avoid the residual payments and licensing fees.
• Narrowing content libraries naturally means a need for differentiation.
• Data from Fandom, which hosts more than 50 million wiki pages on entertainment properties, suggests where the major streaming platforms are best poised to specialize based on current viewership.
