The obvious appeal of instant streaming video may be the immediacy and wide-ranging choice it provides to viewers. But following viewing trends across the battle between hardwired networks and online video services may prove that another important factor of streaming is really all about quality.
When reality television hit it big in the US with shows like Survivor and Big Brother, the networks couldn’t have been happier. Reality shows cut production costs in a big way, and were instantly popular and in turn, profitable.

Companies like Amazon Prime and Netflix have seen enormous success from their original shows, including Titles like Transparent, House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. But from a business perspective, these companies don’t see see reality TV as a lucrative option when it comes to original content.

It’s just too hard to create lasting interest with reality TV, which means losing audience members quickly and missing out on building viewer loyalty.
