But it would take Netflix just one or two demo-specific properties to win that demo back. Unless the goal is to be acquired.

- swman 5y agoIt’s a yc (VC backed) company. You know the goal.
- dang 5y agoHmm, interesting comment: it could mean either of two opposite things, but that makes it self-contradictory! Just for clarity, when YC funds a company, the goal is not to have it get acquired. It's to have it go public. Acquisition interrupts that, so it's a suboptimal outcome. That said, YC supports what founders want to do.
- swman 5y agoTrue. I was making a simple blanket statement that for most VC backed companies you can be sure the end goal is either acquisition or successful ipo.
- jacquesm 5y agoHow many YC companies ended up going public out of the total? And how large is that total? What is the expected timeframe from launch to IPO? How many companies still outside of that window? Those would be interesting stats to have.
- yaacov 5y agoIt doesn’t have to be either-or, lots of people have multiple streaming services
- emodendroket 5y agoI read the average American has four. Seems like more than one person could reasonably watch but maybe I'm just not devoted enough to television.
