And that's the reason Netflix will find it harder going forward.
Both Fox and Disney have announced they'll remove content from Netflix , a lot of the Netflix content is still third party content. Imagine how much they'll need to spend when they have to develop all their own shows.
Many of their shows are advertised as Netflix originals but are in fact produced by another broadcaster and Netflix gains the rights in the countries other than that of the broadcaster.
As an example 'The Sinner' is from USA Network (Comcast) what happens when they purchase Sky and look to expand even more into Europe will broadcasters then still want to use Netflix when they can distribute through their own platforms ?
