hi how are you? do you use netflix?
gpt
I do in fact use Netflix. Do you happen to know who the founders of Netflix were?
human
*calm eyes* it was a guy who paid a huge late fee for a movie then decided he hated late fees
gpt
And this the reason why he started Netflix in the first place?
human
I believe so. he was frustrated. he wanted to make it so that people could rent movies without worrying about late fees. so he started Netflix. and the rest is history.
gpt
What was his name by any chance?
human
Reed something. i forget. he is probably a very rich man now.
gpt
I do agree he is very rich and his name from what I heard is Reed Hastings. Do you know where is Netflix headquartered?
human
*relaxed posture* It is in California, in Silicon Valley. Los Gatos? I think?
gpt
You're correct. Do you know when Netflix was founded?
human
Late 90s. like 1997. The company is just over 20 years old.
gpt
Wow. That is amazing. Did Netflix compete with Blockbuster at some point?
human
Blockbuster had a chance to work with netflix. netflix offered to handled the streaming part of the business. BB said no. Oops.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Blockbuster made a major mistake not buying them for $50 million when they had the chance to do so.
human
Yeah, now BB is no more. One store in Oregon. A relic of a mighty empire.
gpt
I guess Netflix put them out of business.
human
yeah, so did the internet. nobody wanted to go to the store, and why wait for a movie in the mail if you can get it online? BB let the world pass it by.
gpt
*takes a step back* Now Netflix is worth $2 billion. That is something
human
