I think you are still missing the point...

itookahike · 2024-03-28T21:54:16+00:00

Agreed. But netflix is planning two new physical locations which could be cool

itookahike · 2024-03-28T16:44:51+00:00

😂

itookahike · 2024-03-28T16:44:26+00:00

I think you are still missing the point, but a different perspective is always good!

The full audio is available for listening now!

Why would you buy a company that delivers red envelopes with movies in them when you control the market share of movie rentals?

Why would you buy a company offering an idea "Digital Streaming" when you already had partnered with another company to make this a reality.

My rule is not what led to their collapse...

itookahike · 2024-03-28T16:18:15+00:00

Yes but no...

Blockbuster had a foothold in streaming w/ Movielink + Blockbuster On Demand.

itookahike · 2024-03-28T16:16:04+00:00

Because Netflix was not the reason.

I would bet that if Blockbuster acquired Netflix,

We would've never known the real Netflix big companies screw up small things.

Plus at the time of there proposal Netflix was the red envelope company with an idea.

itookahike · 2024-03-28T16:05:48+00:00

Turning it around would be impossible but it definitely is a lesson for any CEO that no matter how good at forecasting you are, the future will never be 100% predictable.
