We found 8% of the population with High Affinity toward Netflix, 14% for Disney+, 13% for Paramount+, and 11% for Prime Video. They are not buying today, but are Potential Believers waiting in the wings.
There is also an Affinity Conversion available to Netflix at 15% (Calculated by dividing this 8% by 55%, the combined of high affinity)
That could equate to nearly $20 million dollars of potential revenue yet untapped for Netflix.

How each of these streamers may want to address and attract this population of potential could vary. Yet, we now have quantified what that value could be. Similarly, we know what it may take to get these potentials across the finish line along with what they will continue to value once they arrive there.
