Netflix is already Netflix for black people.
- rvz 5y agoSort of. Wait until they find out about Nollywood movies or TV shows which is also available on Netflix. I find that the Nollywood producers seem to be having a good time exporting their culture and making themselves relevant as far as possible with the success of several Nollywood actors that have become memes themselves with a huge following. That's what the viewers want to see, not more stories of some recent fraudulent political movements.
- Gradient-Ascent 5y agoI rented my apartment to a black couple on AirBnB for a month and it was a lot of "black content" suggested to me on YouTube after that. I think it is a problem of what "they" (Netflix, YouTube) suggest to you based on what they know about you. And I'd say they do this well. A problem big companies have and they have solved it. That makes it a double fail to target it "as a startup": Like working with no-sql outside of FAANG and 2. Trying to solve a solved problem. But, hey, it is famous YC, so they might be successful anyway.
