I find it interesting that Netflix is such a success, despite the availability of many great films.

As the presence of great films on the platform may suggest, it's a long shot to assume that they're more interested in creating their own -great- content than simply offering you great content. But given the unavailability of a single legal platform to rule them all, the bet on original ideas propelled with data and smart marketing was and is still the best one.

IMO, if Netflix had all the content in the world, they would probably stop creating their own.
