Both Ted and I regret not seeing our slowing revenue growth earlier so we could have ensured a more gradual readjustment of the business a note sent to staff yesterday from Netflix co-chiefs Reed Hastings and Ted Sarandos read in part. We know these two rounds of layoffs have been very hard for everyone—creating a lot of anxiety and uncertainty. The streamer lost 200000 subscribers during its first quarter.
The new round of layoffs comes as Sarandos confirmed yesterday at Cannes Lions that the streamer is in talks with multiple potential partners to help it launch an ad-supported tier. NBCU and Google reportedly have emerged as top contenders. Speaking at the Future Of Entertainment event where he received the events entertainment person of the year award Sarandos was short on details but noted the company is in conversations with all of them and they all have different solutions. Regarding whether the company might decide to have its own advertising arm he said If it becomes so important that we want to have control over it we might. But he declined to address reports that Netflix could buy AVOD company Roku outright noting I dont know where that came from.
