BBC:

Netflix has seen a surge in sign-ups due to the coronavirus lockdown, but has warned investors that subscriber growth will slow.

The streaming giant added more than 10 million subscribers in the three months to July, bringing the total of new subscribers to 26 million in 2020.

In contrast, Netflix saw 28 million new subscribers for the whole of 2019.

"Growth is slowing as consumers get through the initial shock of coronavirus and social restrictions."

Will Netflix's library expand to accommodate the growth in subscribers?

    The problem is probably not infrastructure but one of content.

    I'll say! Where's Matlock and Green Acres?

    Don't worry grandpa the stories will be on soon and with your alzheimer every episode is like a new episode even when they are reruns.
