> the company blatantly tells its investors that its competitors aren’t just other streaming platforms, but rather literally anything viewers do in their leisure time that is not watching Netflix—quite literally including “going out to dinner with friends or enjoying a glass of wine with their partner, just to name a few.” Why optimize for screen time? They get payed through monthly subscriptions not per minute. Shouldn’t they optimize for user satisfaction, or lock in then?
