<description>&lt;div&gt;On this week’s episode, I’m rejoined by Parrot Analytics’s Brandon Katz to discuss a vexing issues for streaming channels and audiences alike: why do the services have such a difficult time helping people find more things on the service to watch? Our chat is based in part &lt;a href="https://observer.com/2024/10/steaming-subscriber-acquisition-retention/"&gt;on his column in the Observer&lt;/a&gt;, and you should read it if you have a second. But the long and the short of it is that streaming services are dealing with customers signing up for a month or two, binging what they want to watch, and then canceling their sub, over and over, hopping from service to service. Is this anyway for folks to live? &lt;/div&gt; </description>
