However, recent downturn of the streaming company might have compelled Hastings to change his opinions.

Chief Executive of the tech giant, Satya Nadella made a post on LinkedIn welcoming Netflix. He expressed his excitement at the streaming giant choosing them as their ‘advertising technology and sales partner.’

“We want publishers to have more long-term viable ad monetization platforms, so more people can access the content they love wherever they are,”

In a blog post, Netflix stated how Microsoft has the provision for supported its advertising necessities, and they work as team for the development of a ‘new ad-supported offering.’ Further, they stated how the tech giant helps with the innovation of tech and ‘sales side,’ along with powerful privacy protection for people. Additionally, they stated how though a lot is still left to complete, their main aim is to introduce more options for subscribers and an improved experience for advertisers.

Mikhail Parakhin, the President of web services at Microsoft Corp made a statement on a blog post from the company. He stated how they were ‘thrilled’ to be joining hands with the streaming giant as their sales and tech partner. Additionally, he stated how they look forward to offering advanced value to their ‘ecosystems of marketers and partners’ as they guide Netflix in delivering for choices to the consumers.
