It's a new day at Netflix. Co-CEO Sarandos says the streamer wants to be a home for online-grown creator talent as it takes on YouTube for TV viewers.
"We're looking for the next generation of great creators, and we're looking everywhere, not just in film schools and certainly not just in Hollywood," he told Wall Street analysts.

The streamer attributed its better-than-expected revenue to higher-than-forecasted subscription and advertising dollars.
The report marks the first time that the streaming giant did not disclose quarterly subscriber data as it shifts its strategy to focus on revenue and other financial metrics as performance indicators.

Netflix, however, said it continues to forecast full-year revenue of between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion.
