What world? Streaming was not created by Netflix. Netflix could be gone tomorrow, and we'd stream our way around them just fine, just as us cable-cutters stream our way around cable or around HBO to get Game of Thrones, top downloaded show all the way back in 2012 [1]. Netflix just carved the monster wave beautifully like any pro surfer would by building the largest subscription base for it. Good for them. But beyond that, anyone can practically stream anything now. And it's not because of Netflix. Anecdotally, good TV has always been good TV, and has been king. So as long as Netflix can generate good original content as they have, people will be happy to pay them 10 dollars. You could say this world was created by HBO, but whatever created what, it all traces back to good television, aka content, being king. The underlying technology doesn't really matter. As we can see HBO appears to have caught up just fine.
