After lockdown binge watching series just sounds completely unnecessary.

Right now I’m actually getting more films to the crib using the original Netflix style where they send whole movies. It’s more expensive than NF but if it wasn’t for the Mrs I’d have cut my sub too. Not watched anything original on there since Top Boy (lol only last month but yeah)

The minute they removed Brooklyn99 from the catalogue I’d straight up cut it though. I watch multiple episodes a day never though I seen the whole thing before.

  • Rose prices
i dont think this was as bad as theyre making it out to be. amazon just raised prices too. might be a few less subs w/ this whole "great regret" and people needing to move their money around tho
  • Stronger competition
hbo max, for sure. scrolled through those hubs and you can easily lose hours on end watching classic hbo, alone.
  • More competition
hulu, prime, bad sci fi on tubi and the return of shows like billions on other apps been killin it. i still watch lots of netflix, but its really just to fill time. i think ozark is the last "i gotta see" show on there for me. i honestly watch more youtube than anything.
  • We outside again
this this this. splitting going in and teleworking has me staying out way more that i was willing to, the past two years.
Go back to slangin discs, lower the price of a brick, or step ya shyt up :francis:

I've been warning people of what's gonna happen with all these streaming apps for a minute now.

We're already seeing services like DirecTV starting to consolidate em under packages. Expect more of those.

Then they all started rolling out new content weekly instead of all at once. Next step after that is deciding the best way to maximize engagement for their original content is premiering them live at specific times so everyone's talking about it at once and getting it trending. It'll start with the big shows, then trickle down into everything and now guess what? Now we just have cable/satellite with a more reobust on-demand library:pachaha:

Been telling folks on her and other places for years, Netflix was built on a foundation of cards.
That alienation of half the population with inserting that agenda to every show, choosing quanity over quality, relaying on other creators shows for licensing, and overpaying hollywood talent for mediocre single quadrant films has bit them in the ass. WE won't even get into the cuties and pedo shyt they are peddling.

Netflix, should have sold stock when htey were riding high and bout a studio like paramount outright or bought sony film studios from Sony, they needed legacy content, and the QC and infrastructure to make their own movies on a big scale wile taking out comp. Hell they should have been spending money buying A24 and Blumhouse and it would be better than the 20B a year they spend on content, while fukking it up with their agenda, like how they killed The Witcher.

Oh well, let this be a lesson to everyone.

DirectTv is ATT, which is basically Discovery/WB now, so that upgrade coming from the Discovery head is going to be hitting.

They’re still the biggest and best, but they oversaturate with their original content. It’s not sustainable to spend so much on new shows at their current rate and see profit.

Max could catch up, but it will probably take years
