Streaming service subscriptionsUS broiler chicken production
Global streaming subscriptions and American broiler-chicken production, both climbing. The chicken is in the air fryer; the show is on the screen; the family is, statistically, in front of both. The graph is at peace with the obvious.
Streaming service subscriptions ballooned from a few million Netflix households in 2007 to over a billion subscriptions worldwide by 2022. US broiler chicken production grew from about 36 to over 44 billion pounds in the same window as poultry continued to displace beef on per-capita protein. Two completely unrelated category-growth stories sharing a window because the same sixteen years rewarded both a streaming-content economy and a poultry-protein economy. Different industries, same dinner.
The same household scaled both. The chicken and the show, in the same evening.
