Neither Good Omens nor Game of Thrones are available for streaming on
Netflix (you'll have to go to one of their competitors). Overall I tend
to agree with Brian that people's time and eyeballs are finite. As more
streaming services emerge, usage will simply be split between streaming
providers. There might be a slight increase in overall streaming usage
due to the effect you mentioned (more content available for a wider
audience than in previous years), but I don't expect it to be an
overnight change for our industry.
