Certainly it isn't dying, but it seems to have peaked. There is after all only so much audience about and now we are now starting to see the rise in FAST channels and free ad supported streaming which may end up being where the mass market is at rather than monthly subscriptions.
One of the issues with streaming is you are presented with a silent grid of shows which you then have to go and find something. It's hard to just stumble across something with little effort like you can do on linear TV. FAST channels seem to be the answer to this for the online world and are a sort of automated linear TV.
