Subscription video app sales soared in 2017, growing 77% to $781 million across the app store and Google Play—according to Sensor Tower. Netflix’s hold on Millennials helped it lead the way, raking in over $290 million. YouTube, HBO NOW, Hulu, and Starz rounded out the top five, but some lesser-grossing apps made noticeable gains as well, like CBS. Shows like Star Trek: Discovery contributed to their 128% year over year raise in revenue, calling attention to how dependent SVOD earnings are on consumers’ favorite shows. (TechCrunch)
