Netflix is falling off a cliff
Netflix didn't add as many subscribers as expected by a bunch of people on Wall Street who on a quarterly basis govern whether or not it'll be more valuable than Comcast -- and that is probably a bad thing, as it's one of the primary indicators of its future potential for said finance folk. While it's still adding subscribers (a lot of them), it fell below the forecasts it set for itself during the second quarter. This comes amid a spending spree by the company, which is looking to create a ton of original content in order to attract a wider audience and lock them into that Netflix ecosystem.
