History

Historical Context

Netflix, founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph in 1997, launched its streaming service in 2007 with about 1,000 titles while delivering its billionth DVD, a copy of Babel, that February. The shift from mailed DVDs to online delivery proved a model for creators to monetize directly, a path now followed by actresses Jaime Pressly and Shannon Elizabeth on OnlyFans.
