There’s no doubt in the fact that it is the definitive modern media. But have you ever wondered what impact Netflix has had on the global entertainment industry?
Before we get into what made Netflix the platform, it is today, answer these questions. When was the last time you watched a TV show on cable or a rented DVD? When was the last time you watched a show or a movie on Netflix? If you’re a modern media consumer, we believe you have a more clear-cut answer to the latter question.
On April 14, 1998, a small startup in Scotts Valley, California, launched a website called Netflix.com. Since then, the consumption of entertaining content has changed considerably. Instead of renting DVDs or heading towards the movie theaters, people have started to browse through movies and TV series directly from Netflix.com.

Twenty-three years later, Netflix has more than 60 million subscribers in the US alone. The American media service providers’ subscribers grow by around 10% every year.
While the modern-day media consumers are delighted with how Netflix works, it has dramatically impacted the TV and film industry.
By drawing users towards watching TV shows online, Netflix has become a direct competitor of traditional media. Moreover, since 2013, Netflix has also started creating its original content and is becoming a fierce competitor in the industry.
Anyways, the entertainment industry that seems to be affected by the evolution of modern media such as Netflix should try to up its game in terms of content.
If you are a customer of this modern-day media, then we have some good news for you as Netflix has added some great content in January.
