Quotable

“It’s not Netflix that necessarily should be scared by Disney’s prominence. It’s all of the other streaming companies.

And I think what consumers are going to do is have their Marie Kondo moment where they really ask themselves, is this service bringing me joy? And if it’s not, they’re going to dump it. And I certainly think that Netflix and Disney are both going to be left standing, and I wonder who else will be joining them.
– Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph on Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.”
