Streaming platforms have established themselves in recent years as the best showcases of the entertainment. Millions of users around the world, thousands of movies, series and shorts in their catalogs, and billions in profit for the actors that participate in this growing sector.

A cultural phenomenon, “within reach”, which in less than a decade has reached record numbers.

Only Netflix exceeds with its huge number of subscribers, which by 2022 reached more than 231 million, the population of countries such as Brazil, Mexico, or Russia.
