What is the role of original content in Netflix's competitive strategy?

Original content plays a crucial role in Netflix's competitive strategy. It allows Netflix to create a unique and defensible position against competitors and reduces its dependency on third-party licensing rights. By producing its own content, Netflix can control the quality and variety of its offerings, which helps to attract and retain subscribers. This strategy has proven successful in the long run.
