Netflix is an American subscription-based streaming service that offers a wide variety of television shows, movies, documentaries, and original content produced by Netflix itself. Founded in 1997 by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph initially as a DVD rental service, Netflix transitioned to streaming in 2007, allowing subscribers to watch content instantly over the internet. The platform operates on a subscription model, where users pay a monthly fee to access its library of content, which includes both licensed works from other studios and its own original programs, like “Stranger Things,” “The Crown,” and “Orange Is the New Black.” Netflix has significantly influenced the entertainment industry, driving the popularity of binge-watching and changing how audiences consume media. As of 2021, it has millions of subscribers worldwide and is known for its algorithm-driven recommendations that personalize the viewing experience for each user.
