Hi Nihaar, I really liked this take and it made me wonder if this latest disruption is a result of the new depth in streaming competition.
Before the recent fragmentation of streaming, Netflix could take for granted that most content would stream on their site after their initial runs. That meant that their focus could be on the long tail of content, and supporting those shows with smaller audiences. Now that the best content is scattered across different services, Netflix has to step up with it's own offerings to maintain and gain subscribers.
Excellent writing. I posted the link on Facebook, Twitter, and a space on Quora that I moderate, Ask A Screenwriter https://www.quora.com/q/ask-a-screenwriter - and nice to see something on Substack, I learned about it this week.
Here we go again....this journalist is asking the questions we asked in the '90s. Will the pendulum swing the other way again?
