In the section "Transition to streaming services (2007–2012)", a stat is mentioned that Netflix's streams overtook their DVD shipments in 2009. However, that was only at the very start of the year, so it's kinda taken out of context. Also, the article that was cited put a nuance/disclaimer about Feedflix's sampling bias towards internet-savvy users. And in general for people who were alive that year (even though Wikipedia requires citations), I'm sure you remember that barely anyone used streaming at all as, to put it bluntly, streaming services were in the early adoption phase until at least a few years later.

Hello Wikipedians,

We are a group of Computer Science students from the University of Minnesota working on a project that involves collaborating with the Wikipedia community and editing articles. We noticed that the subscription models are not up to date and wanted to let you know that we plan to update them to reflect the recent pricing changes.

Branding

Latest comment: 6 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Shouldn't there be a section dedicated to Netflix original content's production logo and sonic branding (Tu-dum!)? The articles about major Hollywood film studios each have a section about their production logo. Also, it should be noted that the Tu-dum! sound comes from Netflix's House of Cards.
