How is Netflix special then? How’s it different from Disney, HBO, Sky, or dozens of other companies that also do paid video streaming?

Hey, I didn’t make the rules.

They always seemed a bit weird to me. Near as I can tell, they were first, bigger, and invented most of the tech at scale (well, kinda - porn companies were first I think?).

Also, without the N in the acronym it becomes a lot less cool sounding, and well, a lot more derogatory.
