I’m probably a 1% viewer, but about all I watch is movies and documentaries. Very few TV shows and nothing regular.

Netflix rips off a lot of movies and even documentaries. If you're a movie buff it was pretty obvious. I had a game where I’d try to guess what they stole a movie idea from.

After a while I got tired of the Agenda and their copycat shyt and cancelled. This was the second time and its for good now.

Netflix are morons for sticking with them binge models for their tv shows.


Instead of a show like ozarks being a thing for 8 weeks, it’s only watched and talked about for half a weekend.
There's no way they release all the episodes of the new Stranger Things season at once now right:patrice:

HBO MAX puts out the best content quality wise

Hulu has the best Shows from Cable and Network TV

Netflix has been in trouble for a while, I felt it when The Office got taken off and one by one we seen other shows leaving.

And like someone mentioned that binge model is the gift and the curse cause I watched Ozark over a weekend and never thought or talked about it again. Meanwhile these other shows keep the discussion going week to week and there is anticipation for them.

I don’t really see a quick fix for them to be able to grow which is why I think they trying the password crackdown but that’s just gonna turn people away more.

After Ozark part 2 I can’t think of anything else I’m really looking forward to on there.

it's a content problem
I haven't watched anything on Netflix in a year and half at this point
Disney+/hulu/HBO max is all i need :yeshrug:

I also think its because of the binge model they still use. Pretty much every other streaming service moved to weekly releases and netflix seems like they don’t want to pivot this late in the game. They still do it for their reality shows but it’s not really enough.

Netflix also has a problem with the way they promote their new movies or shows. They want people to just turn on the app like cable tv and find the latest and greatest stuff being put in front of them. It doesn’t really generate interest or discussion they way they just offload content the way they do. A show or movie will come out be decent and if its not in the top 10 most watched no one will even talk about it.

This just proves that being first out the gate aint always best :mjpls:

The prices being raised wouldn’t be a problem if they weren’t publicly announcing they’re going to be cracking down password sharing. Their main problem is HBO max and Prime. All the other streaming services are hot garbage outside those two.

Going to be a hell of a lot of emails sent to old customers

I’ve been cancelled for a little over a month and they’ve already sent me a half-dozen emails offering a reduced rate to come back

Same, they've been sending a whole lot of emails. I'll be back because there's stuff I want to watch anyway but on Amazon right now.

Like brehs said, the whole Covid situation probably artificially made them bigger than expected, but in the meantime the other services developped as well. We're out living life again now, AND we have more options when we're at home. Sports also are fully back. Movies are back in the cinemas. People are travelling. And I don't know how it is in the US but over here in France even free streaming services provided but public TV networks are dropping quality programs. And at some point too much content is just that, too much. Not even getting into the quality of the content, but just the fact that there's so much stuff that at some point you kind of "fall behind" and don't even try to catch up on your watching list.

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
Netflix is definitely the biggest but they haven’t been the best for years in my opinion. They just had a huge head start, but instead of capitalizing on it and changing with the times they pump and dump terrible content while cancelling quality shows repeatedly. They’re background noise status at this point.

Same, Ozark is really the only thing on there worth watching now unless you want to catch a worthless reality show or a random murder documentary. Not to mention they’re talking about cracking down on password sharing.

Absolutely, Apple TV+ has already lapped Netflix in terms of quality. Just off the top of my head there’s:
Severance
See
For All Mankind
Pachinko
Slow Horses
Ted Lasso
Mythic Quest
Physical
Servant

Just wait till they stop people from sharing passwords. Netflix hasn’t been worth what they charge in years, so unless I can get the whole family on an account… bushes

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:
Yeah, it's going back just like to how cable used to be. It's gonna get worse when Netflix loses the rights to shows that they didn't produce.

I've heard that like 75-85% of Netflix's watch-time is on shows that Netflix doesn't produce. People want to binge old sitcoms like Seinfeld or The Office and have them running in the background and stuff like that.

Netflix doesn't have any shows like that.

HBO Max is dope as fukk too
