    The order is a bit off. Production companies starting pulling their content from Netflix after they saw how profitable streaming services could be.

    This forced Netflix to start producing their own content.

      No, the order is correct. NF started commissioning originals in 2013, and for a while everything worked out as NF used the same terms of trade as other broadcasters.

      Some years later NF decided they would insist on a worldwide exclusivity buyout for any commissioned content and high-value library. This meant studios could no longer deficit finance. It made more sense to open their own platforms and take the revenue themselves for their properties.

      forced

      That’s humanizing the corp way too generously. Nothing “forced Netflix to start producing [its] own content” but itself. 🤑

          No. That’s still removing the onus from the corpos. Fuck that simping.

          re: your handle : I’d totally watch Uncle Buck as Paul Revere (or as the Duke of Wellington), FWIW. I guess I’ll have to wait until the Disney-Sony shite machine pushes it through their botfarm to raise that dead legend for the screen.

            Simping? I rephrased my idea a bit for the sake of argument but I understand their motivation and their behaviour.

            I’d say you’re one to talk about handles with yours being some reference to Bill & Ted and Joseph Stalin but I think it might be lost on you.
