- dralley 7y agoNetflix is nowhere even remotely close to being a monopoly.
- studentrob 7y agoI agree that Netflix dominating does not make them a monopoly. No more than Google or Facebook.
- dralley 7y agoNetflix is far less critical, and has far less marketshare (as a proportion of the general population), and far more competitors than either Google or Facebook.
- bduerst 7y agoIf anything, Netflix is more a victim of the monopolies that media conglomerates have on copyrighted content licensing.
