Yes, Netflix could crash and burn and I recall saying as much a year ago in this very thread, but I'm not so sure now.
For the full year 2018, Netflix is predicted to have 150m customers, currently it's 130m. At the beginning of 2018, they had something like 120m and the beginning of 2017 it was something like 90m.
If they keep growing for a few more years at a rate of 20-30m customers per year and then control their costs at that point, they should be awash with profits by the mid 2020s and will have enough of their own content to offset all of Hollywood leaving their platform, if that happens, as they won't have to pay for all the expensive licensing deals.
If they do crash (a stock market crash won't help here) then simply someone like Apple or Mircosoft will gobble them up.
Just as an aside, how far do you see the property prices falling by? It's something I'm closely watching, as my circumstances might dictate that I need to might need to look out for property deals in the next year or so.

I will do the same again.

But as DVD players stop being sold by the shops and physical media in terminal decline, we will have no choice but to go down the streaming route in the future for all entrainment needs.
