YouTube is increasingly becoming the dominant platform on TV screens, challenging rivals in the streaming market.

The shift in platform dominance and competitive pressure from YouTube is prompting Netflix to accelerate cost control and rightsizing efforts. While Netflix still leads its rivals in subscriptions, the company is facing scrutiny from Wall Street and has seen its stock fall 20 percent year to date.
