  • From 2006, Lesley Stahl's interview with Reed Hastings, founder and CEO of Netflix, the online DVD rental service whose subscribers (at that time) paid a flat monthly fee to order DVDs over the Internet, which were then sent to them by regular mail.
    "60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

      Yes, I also miss the Red Envelope Club.
      I used to be able to maximize my Netflix DVD service -- I work from home and my mail arrives before noon. So, when a disc would come in the mail, I often would stop work in the early afternoon and have a big meal while watching one disc. Then, I would get back to work. My business involved shipping stuff out using the post office, so I would often SEND BACK my Netflix DVD in the mail on the SAME DAY that it had arrived. I believe I averaged 10 to 12 DVD's per week, so I really got my money's worth back then.

    Most people don’t know that Hastings contacted Blockbuster in 2000 and offered to sell Netflix to them for $50 million. Apparently, Netflix was really struggling to get enough capital to expand and Hastings did not like running the company. Of course, Blockbuster died years ago and those executives are kicking themselves. I am also kicking myself because I owned Netflix stock back in 2005 and sold it like an idiot. That stock would be worth over a million dollars today.

    Crazy to watch some of these videos I mean there was a time when people were renting DVDs. No to those people who are down on Netflix stock right now all I can tell you is this look at how many things we didn’t think would happen that happened. Most of us never dreamed of renting DVDs via the mail actually most of us now didn’t even notice how Netflix got started. I remember Netflix renting DVDs in the mail I remember blockbuster you ask most people in their 20s about Black buster they don’t know what it is. Just think there’s a generation that only knows streaming and downloading movies. Even when you look at this video look at how we were expecting the future to turn out we thought downloading movies would be the next big thing we skipped the concept of downloading a movie in an hour and instead we literally started streaming movies. Crazy right same concept as downloading Internet connection to a tv The only differences instead of downloading the entire film all at once why not bring in small snippets of it at a time so that you can watch it as it comes in. We never planned on UA-cam or any of the music streaming services none of that but it is clear those things are here to stay. So when you think about what is next for Netflix remember we already thought they were a big fish and a small pond there were others that were going to come in and take away customers didn’t happen yes now we have more big fish in the pond has gotten bigger but I would highly disagree with anyone who says Netflix still isn’t King.
