Netflix and the streaming war
Netflix has become the most important streaming platform in recent years and its success has led most entertainment companies to promote their own platforms, such as Disney+ and HBO, among others.
Though started as a company that offered DVD rental services through postal mail, it was in 2011 when the company started operations outside the United States and Canada, by offering its catalog via streaming in Latin America and the Caribbean. A year later it would also reach some European countries and later Asia.
In 2011 the company ventured to start with the production of its own content that started with the successful series House of cards which led her to create her studio in 2016. By 2018 it would be defined as a global internet television network.
Previously, on January 16, 2014, one of the most important moments arrived for Netflix: be nominated for an Oscar for the first time in its history with the documentary The Square.
Its catalog includes films that have won an Academy Award, multi-award-winning and viral series such as Squid Gameor important products in Spanish such as The Money Heist y Elite.
According to the latest information released by the firm itself, after reaching glory figures during the pandemic, it was announced that in the first quarter of 2022 it lost 200 thousand subscribers, the strongest blow the company has received in a decade. Among the causes of this collapse are the sharing of passwords and the growing competition.
However, that’s not all, as the streaming company expects to lose two million accounts in the second quarter of 2022, so this year is expected to be the worst in its history.
