2 signs the Netflix selloff is overdone
Netflix isn’t dead. It’s popular and influential. Netflix has only started to scratch the surface of monetizing its audience. When the ad-based version hits the market — not if at this point, but when — I think people will be blown away by the recurring revenue it creates.
