Blockbuster got Blockbuster'd because a new format came out and made renting VHS irrelevant. Streaming, yet another format, was the nail in the coffin. New streaming services aren't a new format. It's just the same shyt on a different platform. The onus isn't on Netflix to do anything different. It's on these new streaming services to compel people to invest their time and dollars into their service. Netflix has well over 100 million people already invested in their service. Will they lose subscribers or see subscriber growth slow down as new competitors enter the market: of course. They have more than a healthy enough headstart to weather that though. The question is if the competitors can attract people, create a large stable base, and last as long as Netflix has.
I don't think these people realize that Netflix has over 140 million subscribers now. There's a lot of people in that 140 million who don't care about kids movies or even Marvel content or Star Wars content.
Netflix is so big that it almost can't die... like they'd have to severely fukk it up. What could happen is if their original shows start to misfire and they see a slight growth or a slight decline they will have to be a little more cautious with which shows they gonna greenlight and where they should spend the money that they loan.
Right now they can spend billions on content and do it very indiscriminately
