Netflix is "TV, evolved" - including cable TV. It's not comparable to Spotify or iTunes ("CD, evolved"), which made music piracy almost irrelevant with their very comprehensive catalogs.
Netflix content beats many open TV channels in my area, at least in the fiction and documentary arenas. And like some TV/cable networks do, Netflix invests heavily in producing their own content. It's just a matter of time until they figure out how/if/when they will launch a TV-like continuous stream of content that includes news, weather, sports, gameshows, realities... And add more focus on "live" and sell differentiated content packages by user taste.

- input_sh 6y agoIf you're into documentaries, you may want to check out CuriosityStream. Subscription is incredibly cheap and their catalogue is pretty good.
- Krasnol 6y agoI'm lucky to live in a country with a wide public broadcasting network (Germany). So I'm pretty sure that if Netflix comes up with a linear stream, I won't come back anymore. That split of content killed it for me and at this point streaming or 1-click hosters work well enough for the selected content I need. For everything else I have our public broadcasting network.
- ojosilva 6y agoIf they implement some continuous streaming (a hunch of mine), it would be just another box in your Netflix home grid. Click on it for autoplay to start and watch a bundled playlist of current (random) content or, if they decide to dig into it: news, weather, sports etc.
