I read something (on HN actually) awhile ago about how Amazon seems to be actively trying to kill Netflix, not by going after subscribers but by going after licenses for programming by over-bidding.
I think Netflix though is making more off of their in-house produced content these days so I wouldn't say they're in danger, they just might look quite different in a few years.
- dominotw 10y agoI use amazon channel instead of Netflix now. I subscribe to channel for a while and watch their content exclusively till I am ready to move on. I am currently watching the excellet Xive Tv channel on amazon [1]. Netflix is waay overhyped for what they actually have in their catalog. https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Video/b?benefitId=xivetv&node=2858778011 https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Video/b?benefitId=xivetv&node...
