Chapter 37: Netflix vs. Blockbuster



"Blockbuster didn't change, we did." I liked this line. Scott explains how Netflix didn't kill Blockbuster, it just went where they should have gone and adapted quickly to consumer needs. The icing on the cake was Blockbuster passing up the opportunity in 2000 to buy Netflix - instead deciding to go head to head with them and develop their own online system with backing from Enron. We all know what happened next!
