Sie lehnten Netflix für 50 Millionen ab – Das war ihr größter Fehler

1997: Reed Hastings pays a late fee for a delayed movie rental—and decides to destroy the entire video rental business model. What began as a small mail-order DVD service became one of the world's largest media companies within 25 years. In this video, we tell the complete, true story of Netflix: how it was rejected by Blockbuster for $50 million, how years later it drove the once-mighty giant into bankruptcy, how it nearly lost everything with the Qwikster debacle, and how in 2022—after the first subscriber loss in its history—it teetered on the brink again before reinventing itself through ad-supported subscriptions and an end to password sharing. A story of courage, bad decisions, uncompromising resolve, and the lesson that no empire is safe forever. 🔔 Subscribe to The Turning Point for more true stories of the rise, fall, and rebirth of great companies. 📌 More videos: ▸ Adidas vs. Puma: One Family.
