From a failed sales pitch to Blockbuster for $50 million, to being worth $30 billion, Netflix turned the tides from being a company struggling to break even to a name synonymous with video streaming.
Created by a former marine who became one of the most trusted figures in raising new companies, and a Silicon Valley serial entrepreneur, Netflix’s origins may not be quite what you expect.
And it all started with a CD mailed in a greeting card envelope by a man who described himself as “the worst real estate agent in New York”.
This is the story of Netflix.

hi
Hi

NETFLIX IN 1990S: Let's listen to our subscribers in the board and do what they want.
NETFLIX IN 2020: Let's hire people who ruins franchises and squabble with the fans and subscribers.
2021*
@@slashedfruits7998 The ones I were referring to were hired in 2020 and released their series in 2021.
Let's create shows on BS and needless propaganda which is nothing to do with shows
Exactly like apple lol first it was good now it’s really bad
?
Once this channel hits 1 million I want to see the backstory of this channel
Same here
Sameee
I love how they were confused/mad when they got adult films but nobody returned them 😂💀
thats literally historical.
@@user-xv1vm5xc1f obviously, it's just funny how that happened lol
Dont watch those things bros.
Also it was only for 2 cents, so I don't think they cared that much.
if hook made a netflix series it'd be fire
Ya lol

Missed your chance to say I'd be HOOKED
What's very good about hook is that they tell the success stories of these great men and their struggle without those unecessary flashy and dramatic transitions you will normally see in Netflix.
"Blockbuster was a physical store you went to where you could rent a movie and then had to return it on time." 😅 OMG I'm old, Blockbuster is officially ancient history.
Hooks Vids Be like:
"How an Ant Got A 7 Year old
1 Billion dollars and turned his Parents rich"
Well It is kind of Effective.
Great story.. My family had a chain of video rental stores growing up in the Wash DC / MD / VA markets. We had 24 stores at one point. Many think it was Netflix that ended the video rental industry, but it was really the deals that Blockbuster landed with studios, getting them more copies of new releases at cost, whereas we were paying $80-$90 per copy. I had the idea of movie streaming in the 90's but didn't have the resources or skills to do it. Great video here about how they did it and changed the world.
@A H huh,.... A wut
This guy has such a great voice. It would be easy to listen in math or history if HE was my teacher.
@Shine tsu hiko Someone: gives a homeless man a free house and 10,000 dollars and cleans the beach
You: How very rude and disrespectful of you!
@Shinetsuhiko How??? Explain your logic.
So. The saying "Necessity is the mother of invention" is absolutely true. Hardly any of the stories on this site would have ever happened if someone had been gainfully employed, and making enough money to get by.
well, those stories won't attract many people, so they aren't covered as much
Billions of people are gainfully employed but don't create successful billion dollar companies.

Nice, another business documentary from my favorite man, Hook!
U again😂
Even though I don't use Netflix I love seeing so many men step up and be inspiring in their innovations for the next generation. These guys are so great!!!
Oh, another new video? Thank you Hook!
14:06 Netflix: *sends nudes*
Everyone: "Netflix messed up, but I'm going to keep this disc just to make an example out of them." 😏
Netflix really pulled the uno reverse card on blockbuster
Netflix’s really said who’s blockbuster
these guys absolutely annihilated blockbuster and every single other physical rental stores
talk about being visionaries lol
How to get rich
1 be interested at something
2 be in a bad environment
3 dont have much money
4 wait

And, as per usual, everyone forgets how it really started. Netflix begun as all the other illegal streaming sites. The stole their material and tried to sell it as a service without making any deals/licensing with creators or studios. Pretty much like all torrent sites do, but with a cooler and more sellable interface. Luckily they did begin to make deals with studios and creators to make it legal before they were sued.
The exakt same thing that happened with Spotify. They downloaded illegal copies of music and offered them, for a fee, to users before making any deals with anyone. Two of the biggest streaming companies started as crooks but "everyone" seems to have forgotten that. Go figure.
MOST AMERICAN BUSINESSES START OUT ILLEGALLY. WELCOME TO CAPITALISM.
Its natural
It's still a win-win for both parties.
two videos in 1 week?
talk about mad dedication
Good Story Hook!
Can't wait for more.
u havent finished the video yet
@@hottrin6103
Ye I have now though, and it was good as expected
@@abdullahsyed6566 okay
Yes
"Worst real estate agent in New York" was the quote, not worst of the world. Very entertaining video, cheers guys
Great context. Everyone needs more than there salary to be financially stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, Because money left for savings always end up used with no returns.,
remember: in an alternate universe, someone's dog is eating personalised dog food
& is being bathed with personalized shampoo 🤣
My family watching Netflix chilling
Me watching this video how is it made
I remember when everyone would talk about Netflix and they would always brag about it
I have an idea for your next video! The story of Volkswagen!
These were the years that our children were young and we rented a lot of Blockbuster and Netflix movies. It even brought back the feeling of the paper they used for their red envelopes! I do remember liking to choose movies quicker and on the spur of the moment rather and waiting on a queued movie. The Netflix transition to streaming was a little rough and I remember being a little stressed by it. Lol But at some point it all smoothed out. It’s our country’s main choice of entertainment! I watch a lot of tiny home You Tube videos and so many times they mention that they enjoy hanging out in their cosy room and watching Netflix! It’s a house hold name and seems to be here to stay for quite some time!
o man those red envelopes bring back memories. i was a wanna be high school hacker and converting DVDs to MP4 format on CDs were my jam in those days. Netflix was a gold mine and my movie collection was huge.
Dam this can probably be a Netflix original
I love Netflix, its so convinient,
Sometimes you want to watch a movie with your partner but not actually go out because if you do, you are límited to how you can snuggle with your partner, buuut at home no one can kick you out!
Very Intresting, keep up the good work!
I remember for a short time when Netflix was still sending DVDs by mail, and now it’s not a thing anymore
With all the money Netflix has made you would think someone would improve the user interface. It would be so much easier to select something to watch if the user could sort the database to suit their own preferences.
Make one about Max Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton
Ready to watch another quality video!
I promise this isn't a rickroll
Really, it isn't..
I know u dont trust me :(
Come, on you can trust me! (I am a very responsible yoda)
K u still dont trust me
Really I am a mind reading yoda
Ok maybe I'm not
Like, I am responsible tho
Lol read 1st letter of each sentence
ICKROLLR? what?
@@Conditionings it says I RICK ROLL
Another great content!
Nice video! Really enjoyable and informative! ❤️
I remember seeing the Netflix rental commercials... They grow up so fast 😂
Love this video! Your voice and the way you explains the history of the companies are so good! ♥️
Exactly same time i was trying to do online streaming rental. Wrong country, wrong partners, wrong tech. I flopped. Its not just an idea that makes it work. Heaven has to allow you to succeed.
Hey
This was so awesome , especially me being an early adopter of the disc rental service. Boy has it come a long way. Subbed!!!
But if Hook didn't made a Netflix series you're been missed opportunity,
sorry SJ Gaming, I'm not coming back. Thx hook
That is inspiring. Yeap, until they keep on canceling many good shows and left the storyline hanging...the obituaries in wikipedia is still available, if you ask...
They’re still in debt but scaling to hopefully make it up eventually. The number itself is staggering but that’s what it costs to say yes to making so many series.
Can you PLESE do the story of how Thomas and friends were made?
No matter how you look at it
Jeff Bezos did have a vision for profitable businesses
Hastings came up with the idea not Randolph
WHAT is up with homeless people
dominos = homeless
Louis Vuitton =homeles
Netflix was also homework
they are very special I guess..
Well 2022 came by and Netflix is going low they better make some changes fast or else they will go “BROKE”.
Sorry, but this was not worth my time. Too little content. Mostly superficial. Thanks anyway.
Netflix should release a movie documentary about its early years.
The one thing he got wrong, probably because he's not old enough to remember this, is that while Blockbuster was a popular national chain they were not completely dominant. There were tons of Mom and Pop video rental stores in almost every town. They usually had better prices and better customer service. In my hometown the nearest Blockbuster was 20 miles away. I rarely went there unless there was a video game I wanted to rent and could not find locally
I would love to have a shampoo with my own custom ingredients and perfume and my face printed on the bottle and used by only me
Hello Hook Team i just want to suggest a video idea!
(Story of SM) (SM is one of the biggest companies in the Philippines)
SM Mega Mall, Ortigas centre..south and north...wow..bring back old memories when I was in Ortigas way back in 2003-4..would luv to see Hook do a video on that as well..
better make friends with homeless people
they might be very rich in the future and thank u💓
7:55 In polish "Kibel" Which is pronounced similarly to kibble means toilet in a rude way lol
Lol
I thought I’d never hear “why Netflix almost didn’t exist because of shampoo” in my life
Reed Hastings was actually in Swaziland teaching math? 😮
*Twist* netflix creator wants to be just like his daddy.
Wauw love the story I stopped at 9.35 because I just bought the book!indeed the voiceover is nice
The narrator is terrible, I will just look for a better video
2 in a week, hook is nonstop
This video is full of wrong misleading information
I wish you made a version of your videos with NO MUSIC. You have a great voice and I enjoy the topics you choose but the background music is horribly annoying!!
I can’t.
I remember in elementary school we’d break into mail boxes and it was nearly guaranteed to have a new Netflix movie for us
I got a ad from netflix in this video cool
Well, keep raising monthly fee and pretty soon Netflix will loose all their customers.
folding tables, folding chairs in a fancy bank... bro these guys doing trap houses better than most LOOOL tf?!
Maybe you should talk about fast hair growth fortified shampoo to double hair growth.
I must pay my respect to you Hook.
I just got a Netflix account like a year ago, had heard people talk about it for a while before then, but had no idea it was started in the late 90s. I thought it was maybe like 10 years old at most
It was like 6-7 years ago that I thought redbox was the coolest thing. No idea netflix was already around
LET'S GO NEW UPLOAD IN THE SAME WEEK
I totally had an awesome list of movies in my Netflix rental queue…..
It’s awesome to know that I didn’t really exist. @17:20
I remember the old netflix days, copied a ton of movies back then. It was great lol.
Imagine if Netflix would give you personalized shampoo for free every time you buy a membership.
I wish they could do that
Realisticly, they would ended up like Dollar Shave
I never thought of it, but; "Netflix and chill" is an example of capitalism affecting culture
HAHAHA... Los Gatos!! "a" should be pronounced like o, in got Los Got' os. is the proper pronunciation
Hook is really describing the platinum days of blockbuster...we miss those days 😔
That's amazing
I think its crazy how far people can achieve their goals
26:36 add squid game to that part right here
This was amazing to watch! Thank You!
Honestly I would love personal shampoo, just think of the thing you could make. Imagine “new car smell” or “kibble”.
A Netflix advert on a Netflix documentary. That's a coincidence
Albino dinosaurs existed.
is no one gonna talk about how he said personalized shampoo 2 times
Maybe you can make a video about baskin robins or nandos?
Who got a Netflix ad before watching this video? 😅😂🤣
I came here to say I’m not watching a 28 minute video just to find out
"Blockbuster" who would have thought. Nokia who would have thought. Motorola who would have thought. IBM who have thought.
