This seems like a fairly obvious move, reduce production cost through vertical integration. Hopefully it translates to better content, and opening up to new talent. Only a few years ago Netflix was notorious for being the place where new talent could get a production made, but increasingly they have moved to just churning out content made by their established partners. I wander how long it will be until they open a theme park, "Netflix World"... I think this is roughly where the lot is: https://maps.app.goo.gl/E8dzQLPwGH7MdesU8?g_st=ic https://maps.app.goo.gl/E8dzQLPwGH7MdesU8?g_st=ic The old base extends nearly 2 miles from that point to the right, plenty of space for a theme park...

I'm not so sure vertical integration will lead to better content . A lot of their shows have a distinct "Netflix" look and feel to them, from the writing to the production. I see it just getting more homogenized.

  They’re also somewhat successful at keeping people paying around the world. It’s not about creating masterpieces. It’s about maintaining consistent production pipelines at scale. This is really a return to the 30’s 40’s style Hollywood studio system. Also makes sense to be making investments like this when selling advertisers on that new ad streaming tier. You want to send a message that you will be reliable in the long term.
