Data Art: Streaming Services

The animation is based on the sketch I did earlier on streaming services. I assumed that with the rise of more streaming services, and people in quarantine possibly using them as a distraction (based on personal and life-long experience), a comparative analysis of them would be an interesting way to determine which have the most subscribers.

Also, I personally enjoy most Netflix’s options so I was curious about how it was doing in comparison to services such as Disney+ and Amazon Prime.

The red cube is for Netflix’s 208 million paying subscribers.

The dark blue one is for Disney+ 103.6 million subscribers.

The bright blue one is for Amazon Prime’s 175 million global subscribers who streamed shows and movies in the past year.

The pink one is for HBO Max’s 63.9 million global subscribers.

The yellow one is for NBC’s Peacock and its 42 million U.S. ‘signups.’

The black one is for Starz’s 29.5 million global subscribers.

Artist Question: I am planning to represent each streaming service in a more unique way, and I am wondering if anyone can suggest ways to do that? I was hoping to have each service grow by clicking on its respective cube, but it seems that one of them starts/stops the animation? Additionally, I am wondering if there are any other streaming services people would like to recommend be added, and if so, what RGB color would best represent them?
