Netflix co-chief Greg Peters shared some insight into the global streaming giant’s playbook during The Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit in London on Wednesday, including its thoughts on political proposals in the U.S. and U.K., competition from YouTube, and the streamer’s push into advertising.
Asked about a recent proposal from a U.K. parliamentary committee for a levy of 5 percent of U.K. subscriber revenue on foreign streaming services, including the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+ and Disney+, to help finance British drama production, Peters said: “I think it would be a mistake. … I could list 100 titles that were made here in the U.K. that U.K. audiences loved. Whether it’s Adolescence or Toxic Town, the Harlan Coben stuff, such as Fool Me Once, or, even Black Doves.”
