The comedy gold is the the service, not the content.

“Viu competes with Netflix in the Asian markets, but the target market in SA is LSM 6 and below, which is traditionally a market that has been ignored by the current OTT players in South Africa,” Solovei said.

Not sure how LSM 6 & below going to stream Viu.
LSM 6 & below don't typically have uncapped ADSL or Fibre.

LSM 7 - Accessed internet in the past past 7 days

Dafuq.
And once again we have Netflix because there is no advertising.
Had a look at VIU offering.
Looks like a load of drivel

I dont think that pastor would be able to bring the SABC back to life.

 

[WaxLyrical]

You guys are laughing when 80% of the population would choose this crap over Netflix.

This is something that Netflix should've done, they should've bought the content first. SABC and ETV content is always trending on YouTube South Africa so obviously there's demand for it. Netflix could've moved this content from YouTube to their platform.
