Everyone else saw Netflix making a lot of money and decided just making a healthy amount of money renting the rights to them they had to try and make more money releasing their own service. Gotta love modern capitalistic greed. I wish streaming services was like movie theaters where production companies are not allowed to own theaters (aka the distribution network).

At the time Netflix was literally making a cash loss despite paying less than the cost of production for most of it's output.

Owning theaters was forbidden for movie studios, but afaik making movies was always allowed for theaters.
