The Most Important Thing

 Successful investing requires thoughtful attention to many separate aspects, all at the same time. 
Omit any one and the result is likely to be less than satisfactory.

The idea of the most important things—each is a brick in a solid wall, and none is dispensable. 

Prediction: Apple TV breaks into top 5 for US Streaming Market Share.  In Q3 they were a distant 7th: Netflix 27% market share, Amazon Prime Video (21%), Disney+ (14%), Hulu (13%), HBO Max (10%), Apple TV+ (4%), Showtime (2%)

This has gotten really close, but even if you consider Disney and Hulu as one (can’t yet technically), my prediction most likely failed again in 2023 😔 (paramount slightly ahead). 

For the US, looking at the numbers, the ranking remained pretty much the same as before, but there was a slight positive variation for most of the streaming platforms. Amazon Prime Video remains in first place with 22% of the market share (1% more than last quarter), while Netflix follows close behind with 21%.

Paramount+ and Apple TV+ also grew by 1% each, while Hulu and Warner’s Max retained the same market share as the previous quarter. Disney+ was the only major streaming platform to lose 1% of its market share in the quarter.

You can take a look at the full ranking provided by JustWatch below:

Amazon Prime Video: 22% (+1%)
Netflix: 21% (+1%)
Max: 15% (same as before)
Disney+: 12% (-1%)
Hulu: 11% (same as before)
Paramount +: 8% (+1%)
Apple TV+: 7% (+1%)
Others: 4% (-3%)

Apple TV+ marked strong growth in the 2022, largely driven by specific content driving signups, but by most measures of how you might count them, i got this wrong.  

As of Q3 Apple TV+ now has a streaming market share of 10%, reflecting 12% growth quarter over quarter, but its still behind the other 6 from the OP.  If you count by common parents, it is top 5.  Regardless, it looks like it will pass HBO Max soon if it hasn't already.

All meaningful returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.

This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community, and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no "brief candle" for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.
