In your opinion, what impact do streaming services and online platforms have on traditional media consumption for Gen Z?
Published 59 responses on 22 Jun 2023
In my opinion, streaming platforms create different needs that young people didn't have before consuming them. The fact that everything goes viral so quickly means that things take less time to use, as we have become accustomed to constantly buying and buying. \In terms of our consumption tradition, I think these platforms are so successful because of the loneliness and the need for constant socialising of Generation Z, that is, the platforms make you feel accompanied, because these people really do their life on the screen, as if they were doing it with you. Therefore, these platforms are also successful because they satiate that part of us without even leaving the house.

This is what other community members thought:I think there has to be more representation behind the scenes. So any directing, producing and writing that Is done is done by those that understand those being represented. I feel there has to be be more rules on casting where people are confronted by their bias so more diverse people can be cast. The best person should be chosen not for adhering to certain beauty standards but because of their ability. I think the little mermaid set a great precedent. And I love the confidence it is instilling in other actors. For example an actress who had a really good idea for Rapunzel being portrayed by an South Asian actress.I hope these big corporations continue increasing representation so it becomes the norm for others too.

The people concerned need to speak out and talk about these representations. How they would like to be represented, by what means, if they find it necessary. We need to do this in the right way so that we don't offend anyone and continue to let people be represented. It's true that it's difficult for a little girl of colour to represent herself to people who are all the same and not diverse, so I think it's important.

It doesn’t really replaced traditional media because TV/cinemas are still a large part of the entertainment industry, that being said, streaming services and online platforms are incredibly popular because of how easy it is to access these services across multiple devices. I also think these streaming services work nicely with other online platforms such as social media because of advertising e.g., seeing a trailer on TikTok or YouTube ads. That being said people still watch Friends on TV, tube in for Love Island as it’s a way to get together with close friends and family and watch on a big screen - if still provides a routine

I would like to see more mixed sports in the future. Instead of trying to divide and decide what is gender, for sports to be inclusive by having mixed teams. Additionally I think it would be fun to allow a sport where drugs like steroids are allowed to see how much we can actually en chance our bodies. What is the limit? How high can a human actually jump given all the possible conditions? Of course they would meet be within health limits to ensure the safety of all.

I usually buy many things online, it is more convinient and you have also a wider selection of products. Recently I have bought two wellness products based on social media recommendations. The first one is a face cream, it has the particularity that it combines the hydration of the skin and the adequate sun protecion at the same time. I have found it on instagram by several influencers and I decided to buy because it had and acceptable price and you only have to apoly one face cream instead of two. The other one is a comfortable pillow because I need one, so I decided to search for some recommendations on Youtube.

I would like to see a more fair and equal pay level in sports towards different genders. Currently men’s football players receive upwards of £100000-200000 a week which is quadruple the median salary in this United Kingdom. Furthermore I think that there should be more technology available to the referees and officials within the sports to aid in decision making on the chosen field. This would intern reduce the amount off of field altercations between fans and opposing players.

I believe streaming services and online platforms have a negative impact on new generations. This streaming services and online platforms such as netflix or instagram are designed to make people addicted to it and I believe this have a negative effect in everyone’s brain and even worse at young people who are developing and recieve this amount of dopamine. Social mefia can be used right but the majority only use it for entretaintment and they waste a lot of hours every day.

Stories that accurately represent what people are going throught. Stories that are being told through an accurate lens not through a white lens. Also, more opportunities for people to get into the entertainment sector and not be left out or at the bottom. There seems to be a lot of fake representation where it seems like stories or people are being represented but I'm reality, it is still the same stories and the same people at the forefront and the money going to the same people.

I’ve recently bought the Garnier Hair Care range (shampoo, nourishing mask and hair food drink). I had seen the product promoted extensively over TikTok with some good results, and the products were cheaper than what I’d previously been using. With the cost of living crisis, cost is a major factor in my purchases. TikTok is a very diverse place, and some of the trends simply aren’t affordable for those currently struggling. At Boots, these products (which I believe were the Banana variants) came to less than £15 altogether. Although the products are good for the price they are sold at, they didn’t quite live up to the hype that I found TikTok had put them to, but I will continue using them nonetheless.

I would like sports to be accessible to everyone in the future and to create collective sports that are fun, that we not only associate doing sports with being healthy and physically well, but with having fun. Just like people today meet up to have a drink or go shopping, meet up to practice sports. By this I mean that I would like to turn sport into something more social and normalize it in people's routine. It would be a good idea to introduce it into the lives of children from an early age

Lumin skin care products. Skincare was something I was already interested in, I was just unsure how to go about starting. I saw some people talking about how great it is on my Instagram feed. The product kept appearing on the social media platforms that I used. Eventually, I folded because I was interested to see if it was as good as people say it is. Bear in mind that this isn’t something I usually do (buying a product because of its social media presence) curiosity got the better of me.

Streaming services and online platforms have a huge impacts for Gen Z. First of all. It has completely killed the consumption of normal television. This is because you can watch almost anything you want on demand giving a more convenient way to stream content. Furthermore, it saves time as you can watch specifically what you would like which helps on a tight schedule. For example instead of watching traditional news programs presented by the media, you can simply search for todays news on platforms like tiktok or online being with alot of information in a short period of time

Increasing representation in the entertainment sector requires a multi-faceted approach involving various stakeholders. Here are some key areas that can contribute to enhancing representation:1. Diverse Casting and Storytelling: Production companies, casting directors, and filmmakers should actively seek out diverse talent from different backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, and abilities. This includes both on-screen representation and behind-the-scenes roles. Encouraging and funding projects that highlight underrepresented stories and perspectives can help amplify diverse voices.2. Inclusive Hiring Practices: Creating opportunities for individuals from underrepresented communities in all areas of the entertainment industry is crucial. This involves promoting equal access to internships, entry-level positions, and mentorship programs. Companies should establish inclusive hiring practices, consider blind auditions, and actively combat biases in recruitment.

In today’s era privacy and data security is extremely important due to the growing influence of social media in everyone’s lives. It is important to ensure that people’s information are protected in the online world. Due the technology being extremely developed in the last years it also means that it is easier for private information of individuals to be compromised. Personally I believe that regardless of what we do to protect ourselves online it is quote impossible for our data to be completely protected.

We need more people to play these roles. More representation would be helpful. More people apart of the hiring process to seek out people of different races/skin tones and backgrounds. It is helpful having writers of color as well. Having more individuals of color in the field would definitely help as they would have a say in what and who should be casted. Going back to having more diverse people in the entertainment field, having diverse writers and story tellers are important

In my opinion streaming services and online Plat forms have a big impact on traditional media consumption beacause they have essentially eliminated traditional media consumption. With services like Netflix, Amazon prime video, Disney plus , Hulu, Apple TV. Plus there is no longer a need for traditional media consumption through providers like Sky and virgin. I believe that ultimately it is good as you are not stuck into lengthy contracts that may have a early termination fee.

I think streaming services and online platforms changed the way we consume médias in general, and it impacted our consumption of traditional media. Streaming gives young people a huge choice, whereas before we were limited by what was going on on the TV. This has also made it possible to choose to support big shows or twitch channels, for example, or to be part of a smaller community. We also now have accès to content from other countries that was previously totally inaccessible. As a result, the average TV product no longer works with Gen Z, who can easily occupy themselves with something else.

Data security is a very current and really unknown problem. As a young person, I am twenty-one years old, I have grown up being documented and uploaded to the internet: my parents and grandparents have seen me grow up on Facebook, I have had access to social media from a very young age and so have my friends, so there is content uploaded to the internet that I am not aware of and probably never will be. I have a lot more accounts on a lot of sites or social networks than I remember and right now, even if I try, it's very difficult to get those profiles deleted. Data security seems to be reserved for your area of work and for people more important than me, but it is something that is very present in our lives and of which we really have very little awareness. I think it would be very beneficial to attend a course on data security and for it to be taught to the new generations. It seems like a key thing.

The entertainment sector is often very marginalised, containing white cis men. Despite the rise in representation of black and LGBTQIA+ community within the media, there is still a long way to go before no discrimination. As well as discrimination due to colour or sexuality, disability also plays a big role when people cast. The representation of smaller actors wanting to break into film is also often shadowed and ignored, film directors opting for well known actors. These are all factors which contribute to the lack of representation in the entertainment sector.

As a data analyst student, I believe data is nowadays getting out of control. We have access to all kinds of information about everyone without any proper regulated policies. Big data and other related data technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence is advancing to fast while regulations are going slower, so there is no control over many kinds of data. That means it can be very dangerous if it gets out of control. In many countries, unfortunately privacy is not a thing anymore since the digital age.

i have been buying a lot of french skincare, like la roche posay, uriage and caudelie. ive been seeing it on tiktok a lot, and i like it because it actually works quite well for my skin. i’m also very easily influenced by makeup trends, especially dupes. for example: i recently bought the elf blush in shade always cheeky because i saw on tiktok that it was a dupe for estée lauder’s blush lovers blush, which is a blush i’ve been wanting but is just too expensive to me.

In my opinion, streaming services and online platforms have ruined traditional media consumption for Gen Z. Sitting down to watch tv with your family after dinner, renting a movie from blockbusters and going to the cinema are activities that are no longer enjoyed. I also believe gen z now have a shorter attention span because and the ability to watch a full movie because they have the thought “I could just put something else on instead”. Also, the fact there is just simply too much choice of what to watch and having everything at the tip of your hand makes it quite difficult and painful to choose and many people end up just not choosing anything to watch.

RARE BEAUTY, honestly it’s everywhere and for a good reason because it’s amazinggg. They promote it so well by getting famous people and TikTok era on it actually showing the product and it genuinely just speaks for itself I bought their blush last months because I kept seeing it and that was WOW and then this month all I’ve seen is their tinted lip oil which apparently leaves a stain on and I swear it took so long to pick which one I wanted but I went with HONESTY and it’s so good perfect everyday so yes I’ve seen it so much that I bought it but it’s actually something I’m super happy with

I recently picked up a Chapstick from Labello that has been a game-changer for my lips. It's got this smooth and soothing texture that feels amazing when I apply it. The best part? The moisture it provides is long-lasting, keeping my lips hydrated for hours. No more dry or cracked lips! Plus, it's super convenient to carry around in my pocket or purse. This Chapstick has become a must-have in my daily routine, providing the perfect solution to keep my lips soft and protected throughout the day. I can't recommend it enough! It's been the only Chapstick that ever actually worked for me so so finally don't have cracked lips anymore

I have been playing amateur football for over 7 years now and I’m a huge football fan.something that has been implemented recently is the VAR system which I’m not keen about. I think it takes away the joy of football and it makes players doubt the value of football nowadays. It has been clear that VaR takes away some goals and gives other that wouldn’t have been allowed it if was not for the VAR system. I truly believe that this slows down football and players cannot really get into the game as they are not sure if they have scored or not. So something that I would like to see is an improved system or VAR to be taken down and it is not adding any value

I would say that a great way of representing the diversity of people is through making more movies and films of characters where the main character is of an ethnic minority. I believe this is better than making a main white character black as audiences prefer watching live action films where the actors look as close to the character in appearance. That would really be a way a great way for diversity without guessing or sacrificing the story or the movie itself as many people may have disliked the idea of having a black actor representing the mermaid.

Traditional media consumption for Generation Z has been modified by streaming services and online platforms. These digital platforms provide a diverse range of content that can be accessed conveniently at any time and from any location. Streaming providers also offer personalised recommendations, resulting in a more personalised experience. Traditional media is having difficulty attracting and retaining Generation Z audiences. The ease with which content can be accessed online has made it more enticing to this age, which values flexibility and diversity. Furthermore, social media platforms have evolved into major channels for Gen Z to discover and debate content, compounding the impact of internet platforms on conventional media consumption. Overall, streaming services and online platforms have transformed the way Generation Z consumes media, providing greater control, convenience, and connectivity.

I recently bought a type of dust that costed around 10€. What this basically does is to make your hair be as straight and hard as possible. I first was aware of it when it was advertised in some commercials on TV and in Twitter, but I didn't believe in it because I never tried that type of product before, but I changed my mind when my stylist recommended it because she said it was very effective and also because I wanted to let my hair grow and with this product it makes it look better. Twitter and social media in general helped me to find this product and I'm sure others feel the same.

Cologne - I recently purchased some new Valentino cologne after watching a TikTok. I also purchased some new shorts. I don’t tend to buy many wellness or Beaty products but I usually buy them spontaneously after seeing them online or seeing someone use them. I have seen a lot of products relating to skincare lately and I don’t have a routine but my skin is fairly good so I haven’t seen any need to implement one. However I would likely buy products about skincare based on TikTok

I’ve bought Biore for my skin routine, Curology, and for beauty products I’ve been buying Fenty. I’ve bought these things because I’ve seen this on the internet and because I keep up with the reviews, I do my own research. I find these products really useful because they achieve what I’m looking for and so far they haven’t failed me nor caused me any reaction since I have a very sensitive face. I use Biore to cleanse my face and then I follow up with the medicated product to get rid of my dark spots.

Avatar the last Airbender is one of my favorite shows and series of all time and I saw that they collaborated with colourpop and I could absolutely not resist getting the entire set. They also have just come out with another collaboration that is themed as the Legend of Korra, which is the next show in the series and I am saving my money to get that collection as well. Also, I love the Sailor Moon collaboration they did a few years ago too I’m still slowly buying that whole collection.

I would love to see more fan engagement. Having fans interacting more can make a huge change in spots as we can understand their opinions negative or positive and make a change for the better entertainment for the fans. Also drones and camera movements to catch every little detail on the game, this so if fans think is unfair they can rewatch the drone footage to conclude if its fair or unfair. A huge innovation would be if people with disabilities join sports and make it easy for them to join sports. Their disabilities dont stop them from their talents.

Privacy and data security is becoming more and more important; i'll say that the increase in its importance is proportional to the evolution of technologies. In the digital age, most of people share their most sensitive information with any page, platform or even person, and most of the times without even realizing. Is because of this that I believe that this topic should be adressed more than it is. It is really important, specially for kids, teenagers and old people to understand the risk of sharing more information than what they should.

Streaming services/online platforms make media very accessible, therefore a lot more time spent on screens. I think it is very easy for users to stay on sites such as Netflix for much longer than intended due to their enticing and colourful nature. I also believe that people don’t genuinely read headlines/informational posts - lots of stuff is shared and not correctly taken in because of the fast paced nature of social media. Algorithms on tiktoks, reels and YouTube shorts are very predictive of people’s behaviors which also makes Genz Z want to stay on the site. I think modern media is addictive .

I agree with the protection of data, as it is something that could condition many things if it is not protected, apart from making us vulnerable, as it would be known what we do on a daily basis, what we think, what we buy, where we go, etc. This could also be involved in the purchase of this data for advertising purposes and who knows what other harmful purposes. I think this is something very necessary and should be continued, even more would be needed sometimes because many times our information is compromised.

I think an important innovation within sports could be increases in precision technology. For example the VAR system was brought into football to allow more precision within the game, but has actually led to increased disagreement. This necessitates even more precision technology so that there is no dispute . Perhaps this may dehumanise the game, or perhaps it may lead to more unity, and less conflict over the nature of human decisions. At least if looking at sports from a less technical perspective, I would like to see increased accountability within sports. Decisions are made that have major consequences; these decisions are difficult to accept when we are not given information about the motivation behind them. An example is in rugby where, the ref explains the decision with a mix over commentary. This could be more widely adopted within sports.

The main impact is that there is a higher usage of streaming services and online platforms to watch video content which results in less usage of traditional media such as TV channels. The easy access of content online also means that more people are likely to watch content on the go and at outdoor locations compared to just at home. Gen Z are less likely to use traditional media consumption as its quicker to find things online now easily without any delays.

Lately I am quite focused and the last product I bought was one of the most recommended creams for men from the brand L'Oréal men expert called 'hydra', it is a cream that has an anti-fatigue effect and reduces a visibly tired face. Of course this product as well as the fact that the famous 'skincare' routine has an effect on social media whether it is audio-visual or in our everyday social relationships, but it all depends on how you personally approach skincare as you may be taking care of yourself or the image you give to others.

I bought an 'Air-up' bottle as I kept seeing it on social media - adverts but also some stuff of people with them. I really struggle with drinking enough water so this seemed like a great way to have the healthiness of water but not have it be super boring. Basically it tricks your brain into thinking there's flavour because of the scent but there's not. It does work but I think it is a bit overhyped and flavouring drops for water were better, plus you have to keep buying the refills. It is also a bit noisy for use in the office. Overall it's an ok product but I think I got swept into the hype, but now I have it I will keep using itn

I think include diversity is a really good thing, but people don’t need to be exploited like because of how they look or they skin color or else. I think it important to have good actors but it need to check their past before because sometimes even if they are good actor is they are bad person and that’s not something good to see them in a show. It’s important too to make every actors equals (female and male) and to make sure they are fine and not too tired or anything else. It is something that can increase representation because acting will be more « natural » and not like actors are forced to do something

I regularly see videos promoting it and it’s benefits which have allowed me to learn more about it as a result. On Tiktok shop I was able to purchase it, and also search it up on Tiktok for any enquiries which had made it quite von event for me to use the product as I was unsure at first.

First of all I think that having black mermaid/Disney Princess is a very important step towards poc representation in media. I think that we should already be further with it tbh. I think that the media/entertainment sector has to incooperate pocs way more as leading/main characters. In important and big roles, as the heroes of the story, so people of color (and especially the kids) see and learn what diversity is and that everyone is equal. Same goes for bodies and diasabilities in my opinion.

I have brought a lot of the ordinary skincare products as there has been a heavy influence in social media. It started off on tiktok with the AHA and BHA face mask and then I went into doing more research and ended up buying the ordinary primer and caffeine solution. The caffeine solution is to help with under eye bags and it does the job. Furthermore, I was influenced to buy the whole products by Hailey Bieber recently because of her social media marketing and YouTube videos explaining everything that went into her brand which allowed me to be confident in what I was buying.

Naturium Dew Glow Moisturizer - SPF 50 - 1ctI got it because @toxicthotsyndrome on TikTok got it and said she really liked it. I really like her as an influencer -- think she's super smart and well-informed on all things beauty. I did a little bit of research on the product and found that it would be a good fit for me so I went to the store and bought my own. I don't find myself to be heavily influenced by those types of things though. Another product might be the Glossier Perfume which I see everywhere, and am considering purchasing.

Recently I bought the Ordinary AHA and BHA serum. It was very hyped, a lot of people recommended it especially on TikTok, people were going crazy over it. So I bought it and I was si scared for my skin. Eventually, it turned out fine and I actually use it quite often - once or twice a week. At first it is scary because there are a lot of acids and a lot of people burned their skin with this, but if you know how to use it, it makes such a big difference

In the society we live in privacy and data security is at the forefront of many people’s minds. Particularly for young people the reliance and need for social media and communication apps poses the risk that our security and privacy is compromised. However, for me personally I trust the safeguards that social media corporations provide and impose. I believe that the major apps protect your date, any breach comes from the individual themselves oppose to developers.

Privacy and data security are very important in the digital age, because everything will always stay on the internet. You have to be safe, so that nobody can destroy you. It is important to change your passwords every few months and to always be on the watch with downloading videos or documents. I have to be honest that I don’t do those things myself, but i view them as important. You should watch out with giving companies your data, because you will never know what they will do with it

I think streaming services and online platforms take over from traditional media nowadays. It’s more likely that gen z will look to get news from social media platforms such as Twitter then look in a newspaper or actually watch the news. The difference now is that media online is easier to consume, generally free unless it’s subscription services and it’s created at a faster rate than traditional media. It can keep up with breaking news and also gives discussions and opinions about the issues. I’m regards to films, it is cheaper to get an online subscription than to go to a movie Theater and you can rewatch the movie as many times as you like. This is far more beneficial and saves the consumer time and money.

Statistics show that people nowadays are spending more than 5-6 hours a day due to streaming services and online platforms. The media consumption is extremely high and one functionality that I specifically like on iPhones is the weekly insights that it provides for us to know how much time we are spending on what apps and platforms. The impact in my opinion is mostly negative due to the content and trends that are not really suitable, but very much available to the children.

I want to see college students, especially womens basketball players having more access to NIL Endorsement deals (US) in order to capitalize on their success in collegiate sports program.I’d love to see a continued emphasis on the effects of CTE injuries in high impact sports. There needs to be more in-depth studies done on brain health after repeated injuries.I’d love to see more lower level sports teams in cities besides the Nationally associated ones.

I think that aside from showing us diversity on the screen as a part of a fake world, we need to create more diversity in REAL life. What means, create have a wider representation in the work environment and in filming studios, have diversity behind scenes as much as at the scenes themselves. Furthermore, we need to create an entertainment industry where movies like the new little mermaid, aren’t such a surprise and such a big deal. We need to normalise it THAT much that it’s not special anymore that the representation is broad.
