“I remember buying a DVD player sometime back in the very late 1990’s and there was a coupon for the new Netflix. I was a bit leery about it so I never joined but as Netflix grew I often wondered why Blockbuster didn’t try to do something about the competition. Redbox too.”
Oh Blockbuster was way stupider then that.
I first heard of Netflix by getting a coupon for it AT THE LOCAL BLOCKBUSTER.

When smart TVs first came out, Netflix paid to have manufacturers place a “Netflix” button on the remote. Samsung, Vizio, etc, were happy to do so.
5 years later, Netflix started charging those same companies to put a Netflix button on their remotes.
Love them or hate them, they understand business.
