“Netflix’s Deep Integration With Facebook Under Way”
I can buy 1,000 Facebook likes for $9 from our friends in India. Am I on the right track to get a free movie from Netflix?
But your “free” movie already cost $9?
Every time Netflix does something like this, I am concerned for the fragility of their business model. On one side, they are vulnerable to the Post Office, which could destroy their mail side; and they are also vulnerable to bandwidth providers, which could destroy their streaming side.
And they face serious competitors on both sides. Were I to guess, I would say that *something* is going to destroy Netflix within 10 years, with 50/50 odds for destruction in just 5 years. Which is a pity, because I like their service.
I don’t think this Facebook deal is the way to go, so I hope they are doing so just to block out competitors.
