Proprietary Content

Streaming platforms are increasingly focusing on developing proprietary content to maintain a competitive edge. Scott Galloway highlights how platforms like Netflix and HBO have successfully leveraged exclusive content to attract subscribers, citing Netflix's transition from DVD rentals to streaming as a pivotal moment 1. He notes that the creation of original content, such as "House of Cards," marked a significant shift in the industry.

The seminal moment for Netflix was when they went from DVD by mail to streaming. But the second big moment was when they dropped the first season of House of Cards.
