Introduction:
Launched on January 16, 2007, nearly a decade after Netflix, Inc. began its pioneering DVDby-
mail movie rental service, Netflix is the most-subscribed video on demand streaming media
service, with 260.28 million paid memberships in more than 190 countries as of January
2024. By 2022, "Netflix Original" productions accounted for half of its library in the United
States and the namesake company had ventured into other categories, such as video game
publishing of mobile games via its flagship service. As of October 2023, Netflix is the 24th
most-visited website in the world with 23.66% of its traffic coming from the United States,
followed by the United Kingdom at 5.84% and Brazil at 5.64%.
Marc Randolph, co-founder of Netflix
Netflix was founded by Marc Randolph and Reed Hastings on August 29, 1997, in Scotts
Valley, California. Hastings, a computer scientist and mathematician, was a co-founder
He was previously a co-founder of MicroWarehouse, a computer mail-order company as well
as vice president of marketing for Borland. Hastings and Randolph came up with the idea for
Netflix while carpooling between their homes in Santa Cruz, California, and Pure Atria's
]
headquarters in Sunnyvale. Patty McCord, later head of human resources at Netflix, was also
in the carpool group. Randolph admired Amazon and wanted to find a large category of
portable items to sell over the Internet using a similar model. Hastings and Randolph
considered and rejected selling and renting VHS as too expensive to stock and too delicate to
ship. When they heard about DVDs, first introduced in the United States in early 1998, they
tested the concept of selling or renting DVDs by mail by mailing a compact disc to Hastings's
house in Santa Cruz. When the disc arrived intact, they decided to enter the $16 billion
Home-video sales and rental industry. Hastings is often quoted saying that he decided to start
Netflix after being fined $40 at a Blockbuster store for being late to return a copy of Apollo
13. Hastings invested $2.5 million into Netflix from the sale of Pure Atria. Netflix launched as
the first DVD rental and sales website with 30 employees and 925 titles available—nearly all
DVDs published. Randolph and Hastings met with Jeff Bezos, where Amazon offered to
acquire Netflix for between $14 and $16 million. Fearing competition from Amazon,
Randolph at first thought the offer was fair, but Hastings, who owned 70% of the company,
turned it down on the plane ride home
Initially, Netflix offered a per-rental model for each DVD but introduced a monthly
subscription concept in September 1999. The per-rental model was dropped by early 2000,
allowing the company to focus on the business model of

Over the years, Netflix output ballooned to a level unmatched by any television network or streaming
service. According to Variety Insight, Netflix produced a total of 240 new original shows and movies in
2018, then climbed to 371 in 2019, a figure "greater than the number of original series that the entire
U.S. TV industry released in 2005." The Netflix budget allocated to production increased annually,
reaching $13.6 billion in 2021 and projected to hit $18.9 billion by 2025, a figure that once again
overshadowed any of its competitors. As of August 2022, original productions made up 50% of
Netflix's overall library in the United States.
Netflix has exclusive pay TV deals with several studios. The deals give Netflix exclusive streaming
rights while adhering to the structures of traditional pay TV terms.
Distributors that have licensed content to Netflix include Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Sony
Pictures Entertainment and previously The Walt Disney Studios. Netflix also holds current and back-
catalog rights to television programs distributed by Walt Disney Television, DreamWorks Classics,
Kino International, Warner Bros. Television and Paramount Global Content Distribution , along with
titles from other companies such as Hasbro Entertainment and Funimation. Formerly, the streaming
service also held rights to select television programs distributed by NBCUniversal Televisio n
Distribution, Sony Pictures Television and 20th Century Fox Television .
Netflix negotiated to distribute animated films from Universal that HBO declined to acquire, such
as The Lorax, ParaNorman, and Minions.
Netflix holds exclusive streaming rights to the film library of Studio Ghibli (with the exception
of Grave of the Fireflies) worldwide except in the U.S. and Japan as part of an agreement signed with
Ghibli's international sales holder Wild Bunch in 2020.

Future Scope
Netflix, one of the original streaming channels, is a latecomer to the ad space. Streaming
channels like HBO Max, Peacock, and more have understood that there is a limit to how much
streamers are willing to spend to watch content. They are often willing to make a trade: watch
ads (with a reasonable limit) in exchange for a reduced subscription cost. These streaming
channels offer an array of options so viewers can choose a plan and an ad load that’s right for
them.
Netflix has selected an entirely different approach, focusing on providing a wealth of original
content in an ad-free environment. As their content costs have ballooned to many billions of
dollars, Netflix has had to hike prices to keep up. But their bet on content has not proven to be
entirely successful. With large media companies like Disney staking their claim in the streaming
world, premium content isn’t only found on Netflix as it had been in the past. Consumers are
making cuts to their streaming spending, and this past quarter, Netflix was on the chopping
block.
So does this mean that when you settle in to binge your favorite Netflix show this weekend,
you’ll be inundated with ad breaks? Not at all. This is a solution that will take a while for Netflix
to implement and one they will probably roll out slowly. Analysts expect that they may not
begin testing advertising until as early as 2024, and even then it will likely be limited in scope.
What’s important to highlight though, is that Netflix isn’t going to be activating ads for
everyone. For those who don’t want to watch ad breaks during Stranger Things, they don’t have
