I’ve always thought of Netflix as a media company.
I believe a simple approach to find out what type of a company - a particular entity is - is to seek what comes to your mind when you think about that co.
Toyota - Cars: so, they are a car company.
Microsoft - Windows. So, they are a software/tech co.
Google - Search. But, they are part of a conglomerate.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoWhy is Microsoft a "software company" but Google a "conglomerate"? What's the difference?
- mandeepj 5y agoGood question. I said ‘Google is part of a Conglomerate’ - Alphabet. I also consider them a software co. But, some of you might disagree by bringing - Google ads and YouTube into discussion. This is where things get complicated. Microsoft also had MSN and serve ads in Skype and Windows. Does that make them a media co? I don’t think so. Similarly, FB also does not consider themselves a media company. They say they are a tech co.
