Question - how do you think he will fair without Spotify or Netflix?
I do not think that the comment towards Joe Rogan went down well - and considering he is the highest rated podcaster on the planet and flagship show of Spotify. It might be interesting if Rogan doesn't want H & M on the bill anymore.
I do not think their Netflix contracts or indeed any of the work that have found is very safe or secure. They have build their 'empire' on the sand and feel superiors enough to go to war.
Well it seems they've entirely backed away from Spotify with recent announcements through Scobie about rethinking things. I think opposing Joe Rogan came after they realised they had bupkiss and didn't have a format that would automatically leap to the top of the charts because they and a few celebrity friends/clients of Sunshine Sachs were on it.
Netflix is more interesting. Invictus will probably be very worthy and it's a great event. It's also no something unique or necessarily must watch, you can see similar docs any time there's a big sporting event. That said if Netflix package it with a season of The Crown or splashy royal docu drama it might do very well.
They've hired a decent content creator I suppose we'll wait and see if he has any ideas.
It all *seems* to be a bit built on sand at the moment.
