If you applied the logic of the media business to Netflix, it looked uncertain, but Netflix was operating by tech-sector rules — spending boatloads of cash to acquire customers, changing their habits and overwhelming competitors until, at the other end, an entire industry was transformed.

And that is exactly what Netflix did.

There's a man in the crowd got a fire in his head
