Most of the new streamers won't be launching internationally for at least a year, as they launch in America first, so Netflix still probably has at least two years before any real competition starts and even longer before any impact will be felt from them.

As for third party content being removed, as far as I know this only concerns the American Netflix at the moment. Friends and The Office will still be on the intentional version, so again no impact there.

Netflix said last that they believe it was due to a lack of hit shows which is why they missed their numbers, but price rices also hit numbers too. As Stranger Things has only come out now, their next quarter should be significantly better and if its not, "then we have a problem Houston..."
