Netflix vs. YouTube Market Reaction Poll
September 8, 2009 by John Dugan
When the concept of DVD-by-mail emerged in 1999 from a small startup called Netflix people completely dismissed it. The common notion was “Why would I ever want to get my DVD’s in the mail when I can just stop at Blockbuster?” Fast-forward to the present and Netflix commands 36% of the DVD rental market. Netlfix founder and CEO Reed Hastings has done an incredible job of identifying a problem, building an enthusiastic customer base and leveraging his solution’s largest competitive advantage, convenience.
The chatter about YouTube entering the space, prompts an intriguing question: how will the market receive YouTube as a competitor? Sceneclips has a poll running through Friday that we started on Twitter to gauge market reaction. We would appreciate your opinion below.
