At this scale, content costs will inevitably outstrip the precedents set by the company’s single-market competitors (who, again, are in bundle-based oligopolistic competition).
And that’s exactly what Hastings wants.In the cable era, “scale” was defined by having your channel distributed to 85MM of 100MM TV households out of 110MM total households, then having it watched by 25MM, regularly watched by 10MM and valued by fewer still.
And this is the point.
Adding live sports to Netflix seems unlikely for at least the next decade as few rights are available and the streaming service is better positioned to dominate non-linear content (which is both cheaper and less competitive). Furthermore, the company remains deeply discounted on a usage basis versus its core competitors (Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Starz, etc.) Not just a shot at market leadership or even category dominance, but the option to pursue everything we do when we’re not at work.
– and arguably even on a quality basis, too (Netflix had three of seven Outstanding Drama Series nominations and two of seven Outstanding Comedy Series nominees at the 2017 Emmys). The first part was also received well by John Crace in The Guardian; he commented on the high production values and compared it to another series featuring Dockery, saying it "was everything [Downton Abbey] isn't: well-acted, well-written, well-paced and well-filmed". Part 2 explained how (and why) Netflix uses product and technology to economically outspend its competitors. To date, Netflix has prioritized low prices to drive penetration. This provides a low of 150MM and a high of 225MM before addressing other major markets, such as Brazil (64MM total homes), India (280MM) and Mexico (30MM), and the rest of the world (ex-China). Part 1 of this series explained that Netflix spends far more on content than is typically reported. Since 1998, DVD Netflix has been the premier DVD-by-mail rental service. But if Netflix is able to out-monetize every other video service on the planet and wants to further grow its share of time, the option will always exist. Netflix, meanwhile, has already amassed 55MM a la carte US households, each of which actively pay for the service and use it an average of two hours a day, plus another 65MM paid subscribers outside the US. $80-100 pay-TV subscriptions).
