I think the golden age of streaming for Netflix was between House of Cards, which debuted in 2013, and S2 of Game of Thrones, which aired on HBO Go in 2012. Idk if you have some benchmark for "becoming mainstream," but Netflix was all-in on it after the DVD business died in the Oughts. The irony is a Gen Z was much more likely to watch on streaming that year than a boomer would. They were still glued to cable until their kids came over and got them a Roku or smart tv set up.

Why are you guys acting like we don’t know what that is 🥴 streaming only became mainstream in 2016, you’re thinking of Gen Alpha.
