I just reverted a significant number of edits from an anonymous user who removed most of the listings and pared it down to (basically) a list of the main American-based streaming services (only some of which currently operate internationally). I've reverted for now but it's probably time to consider how broad this list should actually be.
My viewpoint on this, for whatever it's worth, is dividing the list into a few buckets roughly based on the following (likely with some sort of minimum verifiable number of subscribers, e.g. 1 million):

@Fanoflionking: The list should be in a separate list article named List of notable streaming services by paid subscribers (for example) while the article's other content should be merged with Video on demand#Subscription models and the title should redirect to Video on demand itself.

Cloud gaming is a form of streaming media. Doremon764 (talk) 17:08, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Does anyone have a decent, current source on this? I ask because the number that's currently cited appears to be a US-only estimate from early 2020, and that number apparently included a lot of people getting a free trial. Now, with https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/24/apple-told-a-showbiz-union-it-had-less-than-20-million-tv-subscribers.html coming out, it seems that the US/Canada subscriber number is under 20 million currently, but that wouldn't include subscribers from any other country. --Mario777Zelda (talk) 20:37, 25 September 2021 (UTC)

Hi, why is iQIYI subscriber number listed in table as "103.6 million", when in archived source link is stated "The number of total subscribing members was 118.9 million as of March 31, 2020, 99.2% of whom were paying subscribing members." https://web.archive.org/web/20201108223411/https://traderscommunity.com/index.php/stocks/earnings-reports/2069-iqiyi-subscriber-base-grows So shouldnt be number in the table updated to "118.9 million"? Thx much --94.113.198.208 (talk) 13:10, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
At least one of these explicity states on the home page that plans start at $4.99/month, and another requires you to link to your TV provider. As a potential user, I wouldn't regard any of these as "Free". 2601:8A:C180:70:1D3:CFD:8962:3F91 (talk) 05:58, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
