Sarandos also has said that Netflix never will be a breaking-news provider.
In the wide-ranging 35-minute talk, Sarandos also reflected on Netflixs complicated rivalry with YouTube.
But thats kind of where the comparisons end.
It is a very different business model, and were barely advertising.
Where theyre mostly user-generated, were now no-user-generated.
He added that Netflix garners forty times more trailer views on its own site than it does on YouTube.
One of the companys next goals is to increase its share of everyones viewing time, Sarandos said.
Our first one that really broke through is the Tom Brady roast, he said.
He also pointed to a pair of NFL games to be streamed live on Christmas Day.
So its not that big of a stretch to think that we can get to twice that.
Sarandos said that Netflix and the creative people who work in film and television remain mutually dependent.
We need great storytellers, he said.
And if they do their job really, really well, they will.
Theres a romanticism of clinging to things that used to be, always.
Single-digit-return businesses over any given decade.
Sarandos cautioned that theres really no such thing as a global hit.
Its very rare, he said.
