They used to be the only bidder now they are bidding against dozens of streaming services competing in different niches. Their DVD business has no competition.

- pmoriarty 4y agoYou'd think that with all that competition, NetFlix's streaming service would be much better in order to compete with other companies (which have a far better selection). But somehow they get away with having a crappy selection, despite having lots of competitors. Conversely, since NetFlix's DVD service doesn't have any competitors they could get away with having a crappy selection, but they have a great selection, and it's been great for at least a decade. So it still doesn't make sense.
- aidenn0 4y agoCost of adding a niche title to NF DVD service is probably less than $1000, since they won't need many copies. I doubt they can get streaming rights for any feature length film still in copyright for under $1000.
- pmoriarty 4y agoAmazon Prime Video does it, as does Youtube. Both of these have way, way, way better selections than NetFlix streaming.
