Netflix boss Ted Sarandos has admitted it's "not humanely possible" to watch everything on the streaming service.
At a party for Netflix's annual Emmy campaign, chief content officer Sarandos conceded that it's no longer possible for him to watch everything that makes its way onto the site.
Instead, he relies on his team who he credits for helping him oversee the website as it expands exponentially.
"I have an amazing team," he said (via The Hollywood Reporter).
"And more than that, an amazing team that's super empowered, that can make those decisions. There was a time when I got to watch every cut and read every draft, and I don't even think — it's not humanly possible anymore."
Sarandos' comments come after Netflix CEO apologised for the streaming service's decision to pull out of the Cannes film festival.
Reed Hastings previously admitted he regretted the decision to pull out of the festival following the reinforcement of a rule that bans films without theatrical distribution in France from competing, admitting that "sometimes we make mistakes".
The decision followed a whole load of drama last year when two of its movies – Okja and The Meyerowitz Stories – were nearly pulled from the competition.
It also comes after recent research claiming that only 20% of Netflix viewing in the US is of the streaming service's original TV shows or movies – and 42% of Netflix subscribers in the States watch mostly licenced content, not originals.
