A Quote by Victor Koo

Youku Tudou is a hybrid, like combining Netflix and YouTube. Like Netflix, with Youku, which launched in 2005, we syndicate a library of longform content and create original content. The Tudou model started with user-generated content but is increasingly becoming about partner-generated programming.

Both YouKu and Tudou do original content for a number of years, and we position it based on our difference in terms of age demographic. And so the content itself is really more suitable for the brand itself.

We see ourselves as the world's digital library. That can be a lot more than books. We do want to expand to other types of content: sheet music, magazines, user-generated content.

Nobody will have control of the media in the future, because user-generated content is going to become the major content.

I'm not one of those people who only believe in the Netflix model. I go see films in the theater and love that experience and don't want it to ever die. But I like that Netflix exists, and you can discover so many different types of movies and TV and content you wouldn't have access to.

The foundation of Roblox is user-generated content: just like on YouTube there is so much to watch, on Roblox there is so much to play.

We provide a breadth of live and catch-up content - what we define as this season's content, none of which is available in the Netflix rerun world.

Books is our main type of content, but we include user-generated content and will include other verticals such as scientific papers, sheet music, and comic books.
