2024 Streaming Media Readers’ Choice Awards: Winners and Highlights

Hello friends! I’ve got some exciting news to share with you today. The results of the 2024 Streaming Media Readers’ Choice Awards are in, and I’m here to announce the winners and runners-up in each of the 17 categories. Our readers voted on the top products from companies outside of Europe, and we’ve got some fantastic choices to share with you.

This year’s awards saw over 100 nominees, with more than 1,200 readers casting over 9,000 votes across a wide range of categories. After filtering out any fake votes and those from employees voting for their own company’s products, we narrowed down the top three contenders in each category. Some names were expected, but there were also a few surprises in the list.
