:mindblown:Blockbuster got Blockbuster'd because a new format came out and made renting VHS irrelevant. Streaming, yet another format, was the nail in the coffin. New streaming services aren't a new format. It's just the same shyt on a different platform. The onus isn't on Netflix to do anything different. It's on these new streaming services to compel people to invest their time and dollars into their service. Netflix has well over 100 million people already invested in their service. Will they lose subscribers or see subscriber growth slow down as new competitors enter the market: of course. They have more than a healthy enough headstart to weather that though. The question is if the competitors can attract people, create a large stable base, and last as long as Netflix has.

I don't think these people realize that Netflix has over 140 million subscribers now. There's a lot of people in that 140 million who don't care about kids movies or even Marvel content or Star Wars content.

Netflix is so big that it almost can't die... like they'd have to severely fukk it up. What could happen is if their original shows start to misfire and they see a slight growth or a slight decline they will have to be a little more cautious with which shows they gonna greenlight and where they should spend the money that they loan.

Right now they can spend billions on content and do it very indiscriminately

It's like thinking Zune was gonna end the iPod. It's the same shyt, just different. Familiarity is huge when it comes to retail competition. Netflix is part of the cultural lexicon at this point. Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Video will do just fine. I think Disney+ will succeed, but the rest of these new nikkas?:mjlol:

I think HBO MAX will succeed as it is just a combination of WB and HBO properties but NBC/Comcast and CBS? I don't know about all that...

HBO Max will be fine merely because they already said it won't affect people that have HBO GO/Now. It's essentially another way to get the GOAT channel and some other shyt. I get HBGGo for free, so I'm gucci:manny:

They just reached the peak point of subscriptions. No one else in the countries it is available wants it and some are growing tired if their offerings or don’t like the price point anymore.

DUMB bytchES KEEP RAISING PRICES

:devil:
:evil:


What other choice do they have? Other streaming services are eventually going to follow suit as content isn't cheap to produce or obtain. I keep trying to tell people that this was the exact reason why cable was created, but they kept insisting otherwise :sas2:
