- vote Netflix isn’t a tech company. Change my mind. A tech company in todays world implies a few things. Namely that you work with technology (synonymous with anything touching computers these days, which I think is a fallacy, but I digress). But also that you are high growth and “innovating”. When we look at Netflix, it should be obvious that all th
