I wonder if this means Netflix may try to maximize some of it's best content more by taking out of streaming inventory and charging to purchase/rent individual series and movies? all within the Netflix app?
- sjg007 7y agoNetflix doesn’t need or want to segment the market. Most consumers will stick with one streaming service that is good enough. Apple needs transactions. Netflix needs subscriptions. Amazon takes both but really only wants prime members. Amazon is actually useful though because you can consolidate HBO, showtime etc.. under a single login. It can work under Apple but it’s a lot harder to switch between devices.
