Transcript

Was at an event last week with an animatronic rabbit that handed me a fortune and it actually came true. Tubi's annual streaming report that stream 2026 just dropped and the data is wild. Here's what you need to know. First, 63% of viewers say that watching a creator's video feels no different than watching a Hollywood TV show. Not almost as good, no different. Creators are officially the new celebrities and the data shows that they're perceived at the same level as Hollywood talent. That's a bat signal of where to invest. Shows and series that blend creators audiences with popular IP will continue to thrive moving forward, but it doesn't stop there. Two thirds of viewers say that they're more likely to buy from a brand when their fandom is directly reflected in the ad. Not just targeted tier, but reflected in it. Almost like they're a part of an inside joke that only they would get. Meanwhile, compared to other mediums, streaming rates is the most engaging consumption behavior. With 90% of folks saying they're more locked in watching streaming than scrolling social media or attending live events. That intentional viewing makes streaming a blue ocean for brands that are willing to invest. Want the full report yourself? Comment Tubi and I'll DM you the free full stream 2026 report.
