My Take
Ted Sarandos is a reminder that origins predict nothing. A Phoenix kid with a community college background who came up through video rental ended up co-CEO of Netflix, holding extraordinary sway over what the world watches. Streaming's pressure on theaters invites legitimate debate, and I do not pretend it is settled. But the relentless focus on understanding what audiences actually want, built from instinct rather than pedigree, is the real story here. I am consistently more impressed by people who sniffed out a path from nothing than by anyone handed a head start, and Sarandos is a textbook example.
