Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos has said the company will spend $8 billion on content this year — directly in line with competitors like Time Warner, Disney, and Fox when it comes to non-sports programming.” It’s a risky strategy. But it’s one that the market seems to like. As of today, Netflix is worth more than Disney and Comcast.
