- Abstract
The schadenfreude that accompanied the news of Netflix missing its quarterly subscriber projections in the spring of 2022 represented an unusually boisterous public reaction to a stockholder meeting.[1] For many observers, this served as a landmark moment in the streaming wars (the nickname for the perceived competition between subscription streaming platforms), a sign that Netflix's meteoric rise could decelerate. Lotz's work pairs nicely with Mattias Frey's new book Netflix Recommends: Algorithms, Film Choice, and the History of Taste. Frey and Lotz disagree on the degree to which Netflix's recommendation system is truly revolutionary.
