> but purely based on a superior and novel tech experience for its users. I mean they were the pioneers in offering tv and movies via streaming. The tech is really not that dramatic. You can think of streaming tech in three parts: video quality, recommendations and UI. Arguably video quality is the most important, but other platforms have already offer similar/better quality (albeit a lil more data). Their recommendations and UI are better than others but I honestly don't care about these two as they are still not good enough for me to discover content I would want to watch, for that I still have to go to reddit/curated articles. So I would say Netflix's contribution was more in pioneering tv streaming as opposed to tech. They are now competing mostly in terms of their originals, so I would label them more like Disney/HBO rather than tech.
