How people decide to watch now versus later?

From BTIG:

* three-quarters of Netflix streaming is driven by the recommendation engine, as opposed to search and new release pages.

Rather than watch what is “programmed” for the masses on traditional television, consumers are able to find (via search, discovery, and recommendation) video content that interests them regardless of how mainstream or niche the content.

Is Netflix a proxy for future market?
