Netflix thinks they’re on solid ground because they took out Blockbuster, but they’re standing on the same crumbling foundation. Their centralized, subscription-based model will not survive in the long run.
Why? Because:
Decentralized content networks (Nostr, IPFS, peer-to-peer streaming) will remove the need for a middleman.
Value-for-value models (like podcasting 2.0, Bitcoin Lightning microtransactions) will replace subscriptions, letting creators earn directly.
AI + user-generated content will flood the market with unlimited, hyper-personalized entertainment—at a fraction of the cost.
Their licensing model is doomed—they don’t own most of their content, and studios are already pulling their IPs to create their own streaming silos.
Netflix won the last war, but they’re completely unprepared for the next one. They’re playing the same centralized game while the world shifts to a permissionless, P2P economy.
Just like Kodak. Just like telcos. Shrink, shrink, shrink—until? 💀🔥
