The copycat model means watching Netflix is like walking into a Trader Joe's and finding their uncanny valley own-brand stuff.

Netflix are going to end up with lots of content but very little original IP that people are seeking out.

It's also hard to create the second generation of copycats since you are in copy of a copy territory. I'll watch Ozark since its Joe brand Breaking Bad. But a copy of Ozark will probably suck.
