Just about every broadcast and cable network also has its own streaming service (never to be outdone, HBO has two), and the major sports leagues all have their own as well. The world of digital streaming, however, expands far beyond the scope of these three services. In less than a decade, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video have become so central to popular culture that, for many, they've replaced broadcast TV networks as the new Big Three - the core trinity of content delivery for millions of cord-cutting viewers. Soon enough, all three also began streaming original content, which has gone on to win Emmys and Oscars and lead crucial national conversations about teen suicide, gender identity, women's rights, and abandoning best friends in the Upside Down. A year later, Hulu and Amazon Prime Video officially launched similar services.
It's been 10 years since Netflix first opened our eyes to the world of streaming movies and TV shows directly to our computers.
