How the Streaming giant was born?

The story of Netflix:

⏪ Context

In 1997, two guys – Reed and Marc made

Netflix.

As a DVD rental service by mail.

They innovated by eliminating late fees and store trips.

Easily do this by:

• Browsing movies online

• Delivering DVDs to your doorstep

➡️ Subscription Model (In 1999)

Netflix saw the future with a subscription model.

This allowed unlimited rentals for a flat monthly fee.

👉 No more per-movie charges, just rent as much as you want!

➡️ Recommendation System (In 2000)

Netflix was different.

They suggested movies YOU would like, not just random picks.

How? Recommendation.

They analysed rentals to suggest similar movies.

👉 This made finding movies easier and more convenient.

People loved it! By 2006, millions were Netflix fans.

➡️ Streaming Services (In 2007)

The next big move: streaming!

No more discs, just watch shows on your devices.

This changed how we watch everything.

👉 Netflix went global – reaching 190 countries by 2016!

But in 2012, they started making their own shows – like “House of Cards”.

⏩ Now

Today, they’re the king of streaming with over 220 million fans!

They have a massive library of licensed content.

They focus on great shows, different stories from around the world, and keeping you entertained.

🎯 The main takeaway from my side is Adaptability.

This made them a leader in the streaming revolution.
