Remember when your daily schedule revolved around your favourite shows on TV. Recent stats revealed by Netflix show that OTT has let users come over those fixed schedules and watch content as and when they want.
“For years our lives had to fit around the television, now it’s the other way around,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content. “We’ve given consumers control and it’s interesting to see the behaviours that emerge when viewers aren’t tied to a schedule. And even more so to see that these routines are replicated by millions the world over.”Also read: It's Official: OnePlus 5 to Be India's First Phone With Qualcomm Snapdragon 835
