The only thing I dislike about Netflix is that they don't give a lot of their originals time to grow... Not every show can blow up immediately like Stranger Things or Squid games. Stop cancelling shows after one season.

Netflix has become a graveyard of unfinished shows with no end in sight.

Netflix broke the cardinal rule, never remind your customers you’re a subscription service. Frequent price hikes, subscription sharing crackdowns, and the addition of an ad supported tier. Keep your customers coming back, don’t scare them off to find their content elsewhere.

it was bound to happen as companies like Disney and HBO decided to take a piece of the pie and hence removed their catalog from Netflix. I remember the good old days of having an endless amount of classic films and shows to watch but now there are so few and basically you're stuck with just Netflix original shows/movies.

Netflix has continuously raised prices while simultaneously losing content, shifting away from the binge model, (one of the defining differences over cable,) and infamously cancelling new IPs with insane speed and frequency. Of course they're losing subs! Streaming being binge-able, and consolidated into 1 or 2 sources for an affordable price was the main thing getting ppl to stop pirating. Now companies are showing too much greed and have fractured the streaming landscape and charging silly amounts, (and thinking it acceptable to constantly raise prices). Who can afford to actually subscribe to all of these? So congrats, instead of having everyone subscribed to 1 or 2 and sharing the profits every month, ..now you just get someone subbed for a couple months, then cancel and switch to another, and cycle through as they watch things, ..or they just password share or pirate. Focus on customers and profits will follow. Focus on profit and customers will leave.

All the hate Netflix gets lately but at the end of the day they have better adult oriented content than D+. The Crown, Cobra Kai, Narcos, Lupin, Cyberpunk etc. As well as it'll randomly have a great hit like Squid Game, or Stranger Things. It has great foreign language content like Attorney Woo. As well they have a lot of interesting reality tv and game shows. D+ has a lot of stuff that's nostalgic or you can have for your kids but in terms of original new content it's just milking Marvel and Star Wars both of which are probably over milked at this point.

Netflix needs to focus on quality over quantity, release shows weekly to build a buzz and maybe don't cancel a popular show after 3 seasons because it's not bringing in new subscribers.

Netflix is losing because they're constantly raising prices and they're prematurely canceling shows that were actually good it's sad but true.

I truly think Netflix trying to crack down on password sharing and make subscribers pay more is going to backfire.

Quantity can only take Netflix so far, they need to not cancel original shows that can increase their IPs

Basically the problem we had with 100s of cable channels, we are going to end up with 100s of streaming services. 🤦

in the late 00's through the 10's many of us cut cable, in exchange for netflix. in '22 all the content that was on cable is spread across a dozen streaming services, to keep up with it all, one may need to spend as much as they did on cable maybe even more. i feel like we got screwed here.

The obvious winners here are the internet providers. No internet no streaming.

Netflix is going to have to diversify. It needs new revenue streams.

"Sorry, Disney+ is not available in your region."

Netflix has NO WAY of competing with the massive juggernaut that is Disney. Period.

I think cracking down on password sharing will backfire. It will cause them to lose more customers than what they will possibly gain. So far their roll out of it has been a complete failure. People are either ignoring it canceling their subscription

Netflix is now battling against a bundled system. This companies like amazon, disney, hulu (not including the bundled products they give from their other products) already provide sports, news, movies(which are also released in theaters), discovery/national geographic and all the remaining varied entertainment stuffs. They either have to ramp up with extravagant spending to cover all these or become a subsidiary of some big company

Just cancelled both my Netflix and Disney+ subscriptions to stick with Amazon Prime. I need my groceries delivered.

Unless something drastic happens, Netflix isn't going anywhere. It does hurt that consolidation has made them lose so many big IPs.

In my experience, Netflix is the most reliable streaming platform to run without issue on any device, on Wi-Fi or on cell carrier service, anywhere in the USA.

Wow, more choices mean a divided market ? Who knew. You guys see such geniuses! 🤓

The pandemic push forward a lot of growth for streaming and now it’s slowing. Easy to figure out because there’s only so many subscribers to go around.

i think netflix relies too much on algorithmic data to decide what shows they produce, i wish they would stop pouring so much money into just one or two shows and take more of a risk on smaller directors and artists

Netflix made 2 giant fatal blunders. Cracking down on passwords and canceling their own successful shows

Yes, I also tend to think back on the good old days. I am sure there is a lot of people to satisfy but do research on what was really popular. Please dont stop a good show. I am so thrilled with something new and then after the first season it is gone.

Netflix is - Too expensive - 4K picture quality is far below Disney+ and Prime - Netflix Originals are 99% terrible - Lost most of their catalog to other streaming services Disney+ has - Marvel and Star Wars - Incredible 4K picture quality - Very affordable

For low income countries the issue is the pricing of Netflix. Disney+ and Amazon are available for just over $18 for a year, while for Netflix it's around $95 for a year. The vast majority of people cannot afford to pay such a large sum.

Disney did what Netflix should have done. People went to Netflix because they were the only game in town. In order to stay that way, they should have bought FOX, Marvel, Time/Warner, etc. Instead, the competition bought up all that content, leaving Netflix with just Netflix. That is why Disney+/HULU will surpass Netflix eventually, while Paramount and Discover and all other competitors continue to siphon off viewers as well.

6:55 right there is where the problems start. These companies wanted to launch their own streaming service, but then because its on their own service you have to still pay a monthly subscription just to watch their content. So like for example if you wanted to watch any Disney Movie, you cannot do that because all of it is on Disney Plus. You will never find any Disney content on Netflix and you still have to keep paying money just to see your shows but they are on different services. It causes nothing but problems and having to spend more money.

This aged well!!! Disney failing way harder than any other large media orgs.

The reason we have left is because the price went up and the content went down

I think is unfair, since Netflix has a much broader variety compared to Disney, i am considering closing my Disney account.

Do you know that they had around 600-700k subscribers in Russia? When the war with Ukraine started, Netflix got out of Russia, explaining a huge share of the subscription loss 🤷‍♀️. Obviously there’s now competition, but they’re still #1

The one thing Disney Plus has going for them. They can slowing keep adding FOX show and movies to the service, and FOX has a lot of content. I also believe in a few years they will add a HULU tab to Disney plus like they did with Stars.

The thing is they didn't. Everything on Disney is crap for adults. Netflix is way better then Disney.

Sta. Clarita's Diet was one of their best shows. Unfortunately it was so underrated that they cancelled it. Too bad. Now I can't even decide what to watch on Netflix because there's just too many but lacks quality.

I think the best way for Netflix to go about this would be to tell the original account holder (the one paying the monthly bill) "hey, we know you are sharing this account with 4 other people and that's fine, you will still have uninterrupted access to Netflix, but those you are sharing the password with will get ads during their viewing". That way, those getting the free password will have to deal with ads, but at least they are still getting Netflix for free while the one paying the bill still gets to enjoy Netflix without any ads.

MCU and Star Wars powering up Disney+ to become world’s biggest streaming platform. Speaks volumes of the success of these 2 gigantic franchises!

I have tried HBO Max, Apple TV and another streaming platform, I stil went back to Netflix because it has more shows and contents to watch. Apple TV for example, has great shows but it's under develop. Most of my favorite films/movies were Netflix Originals, that's why there's always this feeling of attachment and nostalgia every time. They should stop their idiotic idea of sharing crackdown because it will be the final nail to the coffin.

92 percent of their content was licenced and investors didn't see the problem. They were selling something they fundamentally didn't own

I now watch more Netflix than Hulu because Hulu took away the right to watch NBC programming the day after it was aired. I now will have to add yet ANOTHER streaming service just to watch the programming that I've been able to watch for years. It is to the point that streaming services cost as much as cable. Netflix has some great original content, but some of their movies are getting to be as bad as Hallmark- the same boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love, something happens to break them up, they get back together and live happily ever after.

Tbh if all media company put their content on their own streaming platform, I would just rather pirate than subscribe to all of them.

Quality over quantity is Netflix's biggest fear.

Netflix essentially created this market but Disney just have too much resources for them to not win.

D+ is good but very limited to Marvel and Starwars franchises made for kids, Netflix provides more diverse content.

Netflix needs to invest in quality writing and bold story telling, thats the niche no other studio/streaming service is willing to bet on overall. Having a handful of fantastic shows and movies across multiple streamers tells us that each streamer simply wants to have one or two golden children that bolsters the streamer's image with award badges, but still would rather fill their library will names and legacy titles over quality of storytelling. Disney has way more legacy titles and on-the-table money to play with, they are hard to compete with when it comes to producing blockbuster standard movies or cinematic series, but it bloats its own library by abusing the legacy titles, creating an oversaturation of one-note formulaic content that needs to fit into an assigned pre-destined universe which in addition to the eventual fatigue fans and casual viewers will get from such content, the programs are bound to collapse in on themselves through varying quality and nonsensical and unnecessarily plot models that are inherently borne from the limitations of necessary cohesion and progression through the universe (not to mention the family friendly boundaries most of their shows have to dance within). Netflix has been wasting money as of late with unnecessary blockbuster movies such as Rednotice and Grey, which are made for the summer cinema going experience you just don't get with the stay at home TV watching model that streaming produces, no matter how big your TV. They should take a note from A24 and focus on diverse, creative, risk-taking content that offers the writers and directors a sandbox for filmmaking creativity, that's what's missing; quality and that sense of uniqueness you leave the movie or show with where the viewer instantly knows they wouldn't have gotten that experience anywhere else, and they'll keep coming back for it.

The moment in history that caused the slide for Netflix was when Disney bought Fox in 2017. I think the streaming landscape would be a lot different had Fox remained a separate company.

Disney+ subsribers number may close to Netflix subscribers but i dont think Disney+ monthly watch time is nearly as much as Netflix monthly watch time FYI a lot a Disney+ subscriber doesnot even watch Disney+. for example in Indonesia there is a major cellular network provider (with more than 100 million customers) that bundled all their internet plan with Disney+ subscription (meaning more than 100 million customers is automatically becoming Disney+ subscriber even though a lot of them doesnot even watch Disney+). imagine if that cellular network provider stop bundling their internet plan with Disney+, that Disney+ subsribers report will be horrible

Disney+ is not even available in some countries yet.

Same day i got the notification about the price increase, same day i cancelled

Here in the Philippines, Disney+ just launched a couple of months ago and the content is ginormous compared to the US. We have the Star tile which has shows such as Grey's, Criminal Minds and even K-dramas. Netflix here is still very popular though, especially with younger ppl, so I don't expect Netflix to fall here, for now. (side note: at least we still have Friends and TBBT here)

I was one of the 1million people who unsubscribed when they started talking about cracking down on sharing passwords.

Despite Netflix not doing well, I think that one thing that Netflix does well is offering international films, though they are offered by Amazon and other Streaming services, no one offers international films like Netflix.

Netflix needs a new librarian

If you only got Netflix once every 6 months you could catch up on everything and it wouldn’t take long

Disney+ has better price. Here they offer like $11 per month, compared to Netflix around $18 per month.

I'm british (saying in case it's different elsewhere) and seeing big titles disappear like schindler's list, saving private ryan, fight club and forrest gump is just depressing

With a content budget of $17 billion per year, Netflix is really doing a bad job with their original content... Assuming 70% of the budget is spent on buying content from third-parties, Netflix still has over $5 billion to spend on its original content. That's equivalent to 25 to 50 big-budget movies or tv series (if each is given $100 to $200 million budget).

Netflix's recent 2022 Tudum Global Fan event (available on UKposts) reflects where they should focus - international movies. Be the platform that allows the world to explore movies (et al) from other countries.

Both Netflix and Disney+ should rethink their strategy in non-English speaking countries. In Slovenia, they do not offer subtitles in Slovenian language. Disney+ had subtitles and dubbing when movies were in the cinema, but online, only English. So it is useless for families with young children.

Most so-called "Netflix Originals," such as "House of Cards" and the "Defenders" shows, were only licensed by Netflix.

I initially closed my account because of price hike and had it closed for over 5 years and just started my first couple months... seeing if it's worth it or if I close it again

I don't feel like this is a fair comparison. Disney+ is different in overseas markets. Disney+ in overseas markets is essentially Hulu and Disney+ combined (because Disney owns Hulu among other properties).

It's the competition that's drove Netflix away from their honeymoon phase,they thought it will last forever and made plenty of mistake by continuing their premium prices even when their competitors were offering better choices,that being said you can bet anything on technology these days it's fast phased and can turn you into a Hero to zero in a matter of few months to years

Changed to Disney+ some three months ago, as it's cheaper than Netflix.

Netflix should buy their own movie theaters now that some are going thru bankruptcy and start releasing their big movies and series in thetaers, imagine watching stranger things on a big screen with dolby atmos sound and their movies are awesome too.

What people forgot is that Netflix is a native Tech companies, unlike a traditional media company like Disney. meaning that Netflix could utilize the Network effect, they could create a new Tech product like game, ebook. and change the landscape of the competition real fast. they could solve any major Tech problem like signal processing, video encoding, AI, etc and make the product out of it. that's the thing that Disney didn't have advantage of. Disney could only Copy the Tech, but they aren't gonna make anything new from scratch.

The thing that was great about Netflix was the fact that it was a one stop shop. I'm sorry to say so, but the multiplication of streaming providers has really diminished the value of what is being offered. Theses new services are coming into the market with a much smaller offering and seem to think that they can command the same price that Netflix has for years.

I am grateful to Netflix for showing TV series & movies beyond those made in America & England. I discovered Danish, Korean, French, Chinese, Mexican, Taiwanese, and Spanish series & movies. HBO and Disney don't show anything I want to watch.

Netflix is still my favourite but it should have bought a film studio or production companies, that's how Disney has gotten big, owning its own studio but the biggest thing is purchasing marvel & starwars.

Yeah I left Netflix a long time ago for peacock and Hulu with Disney+

I’ve Netflix, Disney +, HBO max and Amazon Prime. Mostly , We are streaming on Netflix. It is faster, easy to search films, nice user interface and endless new content whether you like it or not. . Only problem is price. Compared to others 2-3 times expensive.

In India Netflix rarely has any regional content, very expensive compared to Disney or prime, no easy UPI payments options.

Netflix should NOT go with ad tier. That's a bad idea. When your platform grew on having easy accessibility to content and distinguishing itself from traditional media, going to ad tier is bonkers. If I'm paying for Netflix and I start getting ads even after paying more money than just cable, I'll not be happy.

Password sharing crackdown will not work... Netflix started out successfully because it was easy. The latest changes makes it difficult.

Again, Wall Street is failing to see what the consumers are doing. Disney may be catching up, but the amount of new and original content on Netflix is massive. I’m able to finish binging on Disney, HBO, Prime and Paramount combined in less then a month. Disney and others may be on top of the so-called food chain, Netflix is like swarm…

Netflix won’t die, it just won’t grow, And that’s okay. It’s already huge.

Maybe if they stop canceling good shows. Never gonna forgive them for canceling Mindhunter

Streaming has become the new cable tv.

If Netflix continues to cancel great shows like Squid games and all the other very popular fare, and goes ahead with ads, and taking away the 2-3 same household licensing, then they will fail big time. As it is, my wife and I are watching slightly more content on Amazon Prime than Netflix. This is because the original shows and new content has all been cancelled or taken off-air on Netflix. In simple terms, Netflix needs better shows and better programming. Also live world news like AL-Jazeera or Reuters news. We stopped watching cable TV years ago and 90% of my TV time is spent watching educational things on UKposts now, with 10% split between Amazon Prime and Netflix.

Netflix is more than juts a content streaming service, it's a tech company, they innovate and create better technology, that's why when you watch a show on Netflix it streams smoothly while in other services it's a lot slow in their interface, with bad looking quality compression, etc, they even has a lot of projects and information one can use in your own programming stuff

Are we just gonna pretend the pandemic isn't the reason they did so well the past 2 years? No one okay

I mean it was inevitable. Netflix vs an absolute juggernaut like Disney? They stood little to no chance.

I still haven't forgiven Netflix for cancelling Mindhunter

Most people didn't want to pay 19.99 for Netflix. Disney + is 9.99. Lower it back to 9.99 and I bet half those customers come back.

All Disney needs to do is to merge Hulu and they’re instantly top 3. Disney+ is top 5 right now. Just look at the service in UK. They have Star on the service and it works

Netflix needs to up their marketing. Whenever something new comes out on Disney+ or Amazon or HBO Max, I swear I see promotions on every platform. The first time I usually hear anything about a Netflix show is on Netflix.

9:53 I would love to see that image as a high-resolution downloadable PDF

i want my DVDs back ... streaming internet speed 5g 4g everything is good but the collection and watching things without connecting to the internet is so blissful and without worrying about low speed or no internet times .

At the end of the day Netflix is where I watch most of my shows

Disney have all the popular superhero/animation/cartoon/documentary & movies & shows, it’s hard to compete with them when they own all those IP and have full seasons of all their shows/movies unlike Netflix which usually has 1-2 seasons at most

8:14 a typo in Supernatural

Most times I get tired of watching Netflix shows because I have to start praying that they don't cancel the show Which most times they cancel it Am so tired of this

Disney needs to buy Netflix so I can pay only to one company 😅

I left Netflix for Hulu over a year ago. They basically have the same shows but it feels like Hulu has more shows i can put on in the background like modern family. If im not totally paying attention ill always throw that in because once I get tired I love sitting down and watching a few episodes.

I live on Netflix , HBO Max and UKposts - standard media is only ads and old shows.

I think it is all about the competition they have and there is no reason to sub for an entire year. We used to buy Netflix for the entire years since 2007. Now there is so many options we only sub a couple months of different streaming services after a couple of series and or movies come out to maximize the cost. the only reason we sub for an entire year now is when there is some kind of deal on Black Friday or like we got HBO MAX free for a year with ATT. We pay for Spotify, Netflix, HBO MAX, DISNEY+, Paramount+, Apple TV, Hulu, and Prime. We are considering Walmart and UKposts Premium. It would not be smart to get all of those for a full year especially when we would not use them all year.

Say what we you want about Netflix but they have produced the best show to come out all year this year and last year, them being Cyberpunk Edgeruners and Arcane

I've used Netflix, prime video as well as disney+. I still feel like Netflix still gives me the best user experience and recommendations. They always put out interesting and sometimes nice and obscure stuff. I don't watch most of the original content other than Narcos and all but I think out of everything, netflix will always be my favourite streaming service in terms of speed, quality as well as content.
