Unfortunately, he can not say anything else. A large part of the programming he has bought is only available online. When I looked at it the website, it looked to me that a number of programmes looked rubbish, and were the dregs of the shows no other channels wanted. I guess a large part of his reputation, and job, now will rely on the success of the viewership of his foreign shows.

So that makes his view less valid than yours? I don't think so.
Lol. Where did I say his opinion is not valid? I merely highlighted the big boss man of Netflix clearly does not share your views of linear TV dying in less than 20 years. It clearly does not help your case, so perhaps you should actually be questioning his views!!
