Na, this is an excellent example of how intelligent humans recognize that a set of technology has made something possible, but then refuse to accept the inevitable rational change to human behavior because it’s hard to accept change like that as likely https://t.co/I23NeJ81Sj

The interesting thing about this piece is how Netflix has been able to adjust much faster than Hollywood to the demand for diversity on the screen with respect to gender, race, local culture, etc. https://t.co/RpChWSder0

Does it feel good to be the man who killed Hollywood?
— Shannon Liao (@Shannon_Liao) September 5, 2020
“No,” said Reed Hastings, who nurtured Netflix into the Godzilla of the entertainment world. “But, of course, we haven’t killed Hollywood.”
From: https://t.co/licEqDpiDy
When I asked him where Hollywood will be in 15 years, Mr. Hastings said: “I see producing stories and sharing them as bigger than ever. But those stories will be produced in Atlanta, in Vancouver, in London, all over the world...” #ncpolhttps://t.co/WJPQ7tLyes

In other words: The past 23 years we’ve been building a company culture that operates with debating stuff in meetings at the office. I see no benefit in changing things up.https://t.co/RHLgQiQrxM

Enough chill. Netflix Chairman Reed Hastings wants everyone back in the office ASAP! https://t.co/M5sK2gdZeT

Reed’s take is going to be viewed as controversial, but I personally agree.

Feels like most great ideas/innovations are cultivated through constant collaboration. Hard to do that virtually imo https://t.co/S6A9qzpElX
I don’t think companies should mimic the way Netflix is run, but I think companies should do more to be as opinionated as Netflix is about the way a company is runhttps://t.co/gKdidhRMWC

The sad thing is that the pandemic has disproven all the excuses companies made before about why remote work could never be effective and so now some managers are just going to act like a child and say ‘well I don’t care I want us back in the office anyway’ https://t.co/GLC7fiAund

"I doubt [we'd do] news, but sports, video gaming, user-generated content — if you think of the other big categories, someday it could make sense [for Netflix]. But ... at least for the next couple of years, every content dollar is spoken for." ? https://t.co/y5tXJ9Wsxk

Elon Musk is “100 times more interesting a person” than Reed Hastings, he tells Maureen Dowd. “I’ll, like, do the basic core, traditional stuff very well,” Mr. Hastings said. “And he is a maverick in every dimension. He’s just, like, amazing.” https://t.co/nkaYLGzFWy

Another @maureendowd gem: You won’t find Netflix's Hastings hanging with stars at the San Vicente Bungalows. He doesn’t bellow at the pool at the Hotel du Cap or swan around at premieres. He may show up in line at Sundance, but he’s not cutting the line. https://t.co/VIz8YC5GOV

Netflix Co-CEO @reedhastings on working from home:
— Newley Purnell (@newley) September 8, 2020
"I don’t see any positives. Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative."
From a Q&A with @JBFlint on his new book and more: https://t.co/Eo80MgAlNE
“They were all asleep to it during the early ascendance of Netflix. Now they’ve woken up to it, and it has slipped away from them and is never to be regained. They lost hegemony over an entire industry.”
