Streaming has become the dominant form of media consumption. Platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu have millions of subscribers who watch billions of hours of content. But with massive catalogs spanning every genre, streaming services struggle to engage viewers in meaningful ways and have a hard time preventing churn. Users feel overwhelmed by the immense amounts of choices and lose interest over time.
According to Antenna, the average churn rate for OTT streaming services is around 30-40% annually. Platforms invest heavily in subscriber acquisition costs to replace cancellations. The core problem is streaming platforms fail to offer true hyper-personalization. Basic recommendations based on generic algorithms lead to repetitive and irrelevant suggestions. This frustrates users and limits content discovery.
Each viewer has unique, nuanced interests that evolve over time. To reduce churn and boost engagement, platforms need to model individual users with precision and adapt recommendations in real-time. User Embeddings achieve exactly that by optimizing every phase of the user experience.
