There's no how there. Just a bunch of hand-wavy stuff. They talk about the freedom of content providers to go around Netflix and Amazon, but in a lot of cases those companies provide money to content creators to produce the shows, not just distribution to customers. They make it sound as though you can crowd source production costs after the fact using tokens. Good luck with that.

Reminds me of the old Slashdot meme: 1) Blockchain 2) ??? 3) Profit!

I'm guessing Netflix will be fine, especially if the rumors of them being bought out by Apple are true.
