However, the true disruptor has been Vidio.com (a local streaming service). Vidio has mastered the art of the "Web Series," specifically in the horror genre.

Furthermore, the streaming of the BRI Liga 1 (Indonesian soccer league) on Vidio has drawn millions of monthly active users, proving that live sports remain the killer app for Indonesian entertainment.
