I do wonder why Netflix hasn't opened a 'crowdsourced' section to actually compete with youtube, I'm sure they're making more per viewer than Youtube so affording the necessary server space shouldn't be the issue. I know they don't like to go into too many new market segments but it seems like an obvious move... anyone have a theory?
- ctchocula 5y agoI'm guessing the theory goes something like: When I pay for Netflix, I expect high production value. There's no way I would pay for crowdsourced videos made by amateurs when I could watch it for free on Youtube.
- SuoDuanDao 5y agoMakes sense. Rationally, if I'm paying for Netflix anyway I might as well watch crowdsourced content there ad-free. Irrationally, any time I'm watching crowdsourced content, I'm reminded of its price and compare it unfavourably to its competition.
