Netflix vs Blockbuster - The Digital Divide | 4
Manage episode 197700359 series 2007989
You know that expression “content is king”? Well it turns out, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes it’s a hard-working algorithm that burrows into customer habits and viewing patterns. With that, Netflix had a clear upper hand on Blockbuster.
That, and the fact that Netflix targeted this new “streaming” technology that in 2007, no one really believed in. Soon they were on top of the world.
But it’s dangerous being on top. If you trip, you have a long way to fall.
