- echelon 3y agoNetflix did not create a Cambrian explosion of video content. That would be YouTube and TikTok. The Cambrian explosion of cinema is still waiting to happen, but generative AI is poised to deliver on that sooner or later.
- Clamchop 3y agoI think if we constrain it to scripted television (and a fair number of movies now, too), they did. House of Cards was a big deal for being a streaming-first big-budget TV show. That's commonplace now. That wasn't that long ago. Since then, all of the major players have joined the table, sunk audacious sums of money into developing new projects, and there's more high-end TV made in a year than I can watch. Cue the flip "but none of it is any good" comments but nevertheless, Netflix blazed that trail.
