Netflix Got Run Over By A Reindeer
My roomie has been able to pivot his business to a work-from-home set-up, which means in between his array of conference calls and deadlines he’s got more time than usual to make use of the Netflix subscription. And he’s a poster child for how Netflix seems to drive the adoption and engagement they apparently are
