They did bought Poloniex and its good to know that institutional investors are beginning to have interest in crypto thus making it more mainstream.

Last I watched their address, I remember that they withdraw something but not anywhere near 1800 ETH. I already said this but it's really a shame that this project raised so little amount of money

I think it's better to focus on the series with a small budget. Many of them are very successful and bring huge profits. Success there is provided primarily by the original script and director. Among the actors do not need stars.

Well they've explained how they differ from Netflix (they will be more up to date to provide many movies/tv series instead of producing their own movies which is what Netflix doing recently), and theyre targeting developing countries where the people need cheap price but I think Netflix is already cheap enough actually.
However, pay per watch will make it more flexible for customer but i hope they will also provide a subscribe option.

As the famous adage says "competition breeds innovation", this project is positioned to have the attention of its competitors.Imho.
