You can get a feel from David’s interviewees which capitalist is a crook and which one is a gentleman. Reed falls amongst the latter.

Can we just acknowledge that He had the same impact as Steve Jobs in bringing existing market players in to their heels and disrupting the whole industry. Netflix helped decrease subscribers of cable companies, democratized the distribution side of content produced, allowed existing content owners to further provide revenue on their content, potentially slowly killing the movie industry.

This guy is so modest it looks like his home office is the guest bedroom, big reminder of what success actually looks like
