I wouldn't be worried about this bad results, they're still one of the current best series producers, people love the binge watching option and they're releasing new series like what ? Every two months ?
It's a good thing to break this vicious circle of "no VC = no investment = less chances for startups to grow / fewer startups = less attraction for VCs".
The world shouldn't be split anymore into "mature countries and emerging countries", it rather should be potential markets so regions won't be absolutely VC less.
It would be interesting to theorize these models in order to spread them. Nevertheless the model of a startup growing and hiring still feels attractive to me given to the current economic situation.
Are the huge companies in the tire industry going to let this happen or can we expect some lobbying so these tires won't be in accordance with regulations ?
