Who's up...

  • Like your paranoid, can-hoarding neighbor... Netflix has been obsessively stocking its basement with movies and shows, aka "content-hoarding". No one's laughing now: Netflix added 15.8M paying (aka, non-moocher) subscribers last quarter — more than double the 7.2M expected. Video production across the industry has grinded to a halt, but Netflix has 2 years worth of already-produced shows/movies to release — a massive advantage over streamers and cable.

  • When the going gets tough, the pizza gets cheesier... Domino's is living in a rosier alternate reality. Sales at its US locations actually jumped 7% during the 4-week height of the economic lockdown in March/April. While others lay off employees, Domino's is hiring 10K more pizza whizzes. And forget ad-pocalypse — Dom's CEO said "we're not slowing down at all" re: advertising. As a delivery/takeout OG with a DIY attitude, Domino's is eating the corona-conomy.
