Netflix is losing subscribers at record speed

[TheDarceKnight]

Don't really care what they're doing since I don't pay for those. I prefer the binge model.

Not trying to be a dikk whatsoever, but what you prefer isn't necessarily what everyone prefers. There are absolutely people out there that love the binge model, and prefer to binge watch shows instead of watching them week to week.

It's still true, though, that there are downsides to the binge release format that are starting to cause some issues for Netflix as compared to HBO Max, Hulu, and Disney+.

I only mentioned that the binge model is one of the reasons I pay for Netflix and prefer them over the other streaming services and I bet a good chunk of the subscribers not apart of 200k that left netflix feel the same way.

People binge a show like Ozark in under a week then immediately turn about and say Netflix doesn't have anything to watch. Meanwhile if Max & Disney had Ozark they will release one episode a week and milk the show for two months and get the hype train going for more subs and publicity. Then after that release another potential hot show and do the same process all over again. Then it looks like they're coming with nonstop heat. Netflix's top shows are being devoured and gone in under a week's time in most cases. It's going to be suicide if they drop the entire new season of Stranger Things at once when it drops. That shyt was cool when they were the only streaming game in town but now it's killing them. Dropping all episodes at once is heading out the door soon

Like the other guy said if they do that then they will lose even more people. So while your theory is plausible. I ain’t trying to hear that, and I don’t think that’s what’s causing them to lose subs.

he's right but the problem also is that their quality is decreasing and those must watch shows are gone
2012-2016 was the height of Netflix
stranger things
House of Cards
Bojack Horseman
Narcos
Black Mirror
daredevil
These shows were wide-reaching and hit almost every demo
now they have like 1 hit every 6 months and they're niche
squid games is the only one that hit every demo

I didn't say that was the cause of them losing subs but dropping all episodes at once is about to be a thing of the past which is turning into nothing but a lose lose situation with them as opposed when they were the only guys in town and could do whatever they wanted.
How many shows does Disney+ release in a year.. five to six maybe? Netflix has this many releases damn near every month. They have to slow down now and stretch shyt out. A ton of releases, all episodes dropping at once, etc. whether the product has gotten wack or a good show is binged in under a week nobody appreciates that shyt anymore and it does nothing for them with all the competition out there now. The game has changed.

netflix doesn't have a roster...it seems to have some niche shows people like, but originals? ozark, narcos, bridgerton, and stranger things are it's marquee shows

compare that to winning time, barry, righteous gemstones, hacks, insecure, curb, euphoria, just like that, etc. HBO keeps shyt hitting year round across multiple demographics. even if you binged it, next month they'd drop something else for you.

i been starving for 2 years waiting for ozark and 3-4 for stranger things

I'm a HBO guy myself and yeah they always on their game show wise. Their actual movies are more miss than hit though. They pace themselves much better while Netflix rushes out content left and right and buries their top shows under other fluff that more than likely never gain any traction. The last season of Narcos Mexico fizzled out with no fanfare. Ozark just came and went, my personal favorite F is for Family last season just came and went, and Briderton(never seen it) will be out of the picture in another week or so. So that was some of their best offerings and their pretty much out of the picture just as fast as they were released. Stranger Things will probably be in and out in a two week span as well if they drop all the episodes at once. HBO also still promotes its legacy shows like The Sopranos, The Wire, GOT, Curb, etc. and Disney relies on the Marvel/Star Wars vault. Netflix lets everything good they've done sink to the bottom of the pile. Oh well if they don't adapt then

What about The Crown, Queens Gambit, Squid Game, etc?
If you are going to bring up Barry, Insecure and Gemstones who all were gone for atleast 2 years, throw in Succession also, why doesn't NF get that same courtesy?

it slipped my mind, which is wild b/c it's my fave and probably their biggest show

never heard of the first two...but in googling, queens gambit is a miniseries so that wont have people coming back season after season and squid game isn't a netflix production, i was sticking to naming shows the companies produce

I'm not sure why NF not producing SG in-house means anything because if that was the case half of network TV would be out of business.
The biggest show in the world is Yellowstone thats made by Paramount but streams on Peacock.
NF is creating a SG Universe so if you want that you have to go to NF.
The Crown won every major Emmy last year and has done that multiple times and it comes out every year.
The Queens Gambit is just like Mare of Eastown or Station 11 that were both mini-series for HBO and folks use them to argue that HBO has something every month or so to watch but NF never gets the same courtesy.
I listen to many pop culture podcasts and many times the latest documentary that NF released is a big discussion but then by the next show "There's nothing on NF". Theres a new doc or movie from NF that trends atleast bi-monthy, might be less than that, but for some reason that doesn't count for programming. I just don't get it.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

yea, binge model or not, there are very few, if any, shows that demand weekly viewing. it's only if you're a super fan and want to take part in weekly discussion. if netflix moved to weekly, plenty of people would just wait for a few shows to pile up to binge. that's what i did with apple+, let ted lasso and morning show finish then subscribed to apple for a month to binge. weeklies aint keeping people who don't care

Disagree... HBO and Disney believe it retains viewers. Euphoria season 2 ended up being one of the most watched shows on any platform in years. And after every episode it would trend on social for days until the next one.

 

[rabbid]

seems like in general $15 is the upper limit of how much you can charge for streaming, then its just downhill from there.

 

[You Win Perfect]

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.

Lol at buying paramount or Sony film studios . You’re just babbling you don’t know anything about running a successful streaming platform.
