Hi @LewShaw
What you say about Netflix simply isn’t true - you only have to Google for ‘content leaving Netflix UK’ to get a raft of hits such as, specifically, this one:-

And what you call ‘garbage’ is true; it is how the business model operates, best as I can explain it.
You might not like it, but unless you want to make a correction on the matter of facts, that’s how it is.
It’s one of the reasons why big operators in this field - Netflix, Amazon, and to a lesser extent, Sky - are starting to create content for themselves, to bypass this revolving door.
And this is something I know a little about. I’ve worked for a couple of the big studios, and way back when Content was king and there was a Blockbuster on every corner, seemingly, to handle Distribution into the domestic consumer market, one of those studios sent me out to the US to work on what the revenue model should be with a couple of fledgling streaming startups, where there was no physical product to licence. One sank without trace, but the other.......
Distribution getting bigger than Content, who would have thought it?
