Yup, so many people will complain about Netflix but will come back for the Stranger Things and Squid Game hype

@@FilmStackit will be interesting to see Netflix in a post stranger things period cause that seemed to be their biggest show so once season 5 is out it will be interesting to see Netflix moves forward cause they have been having more flops then hits

​@@FilmStackthat's the only reason why I keep reactivating my account is because stranger things. But other than that I barely even watch Netflix no more. I be on Hulu and Tubi more than Netflix. I need to cancel.

@@weird-guyin the long run one or two hit shows isn’t sustainable cause that more money wasted and it could make investors nervous to invest in shows cause the way Netflix works is the show has to be an instant hit or it’s cancelled they don’t let the show have the time to find its audience by the time it does find its audience it’s usually already cancelled and they haven’t learned streaming has gone back to the cable model of releasing shows cause it drives engagement and brings back event watching cause if people are actually invested in a show they will make the time to watch it when it releases new episodes

@@kevin10001I wasn’t a big Netflix guy until One Piece Live Action. I’m gonna stay subscribed just for Season 2 of that show

Makes us worry what else they’ll try in the future 😬

@@FilmStack agreed cuz I think we all have highly doubted the intelligence of the majority when it comes to those increases and password difficulties. Most people will just deal with it anyway

I think the netflix name is synonymous with streaming. As long as the format lasts Netflix will be around and likely the leader

If you ask me, it was naive for people to believe that the $10/month of shared unlimited content business model was going to last forever. There comes a point where a price point like that is just unsustainable in the long run (especially one in which original content they have to invest in producing to get subs to come/stay). I cancelled my netflix over a year ago but that truth was *always* abundantly obvious to me, you guys just got spoiled. They have every right to change their policies and their rates just as much as a consumer has every right to sign up or leave whenever they wish. If people want to sign up and stay then it means they still value the service well enough to pay for it; and if you don't value the service then no one is making you stay so I don't see the issue. Move on to a service that works for you and enjoy. The whole world doesn't have to agree with you.

They also receive millions in tax write offs and subsidies. We subsidize these monopolies. 🤦‍♂️

Disney+ easily took a worse drop in subscribers. First it was the Indian market unsubbing because they lost the right to cricket games, then it really freefalled in just 3 months by almost 12 million because of Iger's moronic "we're pulling 100+ content from our service including all our original content outside of Star Wars and Marvel". In total Disney saw a 18 million sub drop in the course of 9 months because of that stunt. Now their ad tier going outside the US is the main thing saving that service from losing more subs. Guess enough people realized there's little point in getting Disney+ when all their shows can be watched for free and all their movies are available on DVD and blu ray and all their original content outside of Marvel and Star Wars has been nuked from existence.

​@@moonshine8255nah amazon got to be the worst streaming site, why you havta pay for shit even tho you have the subscription

You meant license programs?@@moonshine8255

@@moonshine8255 Question is, is it good tho? I doubt

@@3lle272 prime content is way better

@@3lle272definitely not lmao

Maybe NBC will let one of their shows go back on Netflix for a hefty price

Netflix will probably be so big and dependable that they'll offer less than they used to.

And this has literally started to happen 🤣

It's already coming. Both WBD and Disney had admitted defeat and Iger himself says Netflix can license any of their content outside of Star Wars, Marvel and Pixar.

I agree! Their UI is unmatched and there’s just a lot of variety on there without relying too much on existing IPs like Disney Plus does

They have the absolute worst UI. I hate it with a passion. It's the main reason I quit Netflix. The same titles keep popping up over and over again. Netflix claims to have thousands of titles, but good.luck finding them. In my opinion Disney+ has currently the most varried content, but that could because my local Disney+ (Netherlands and I believe also in other European countries) also offer a lot of Hulu content.

@@Dirknesss You clearly have not had the displeasure of using the Lifetime app. Lol. I assure you it is the single worst streaming app. We don't have an problem with the same titles popping up in the States. It actually refreshes pretty much every day. And yeah, Hulu and Disney are completely separate here But I personally hate that Windows 10 style tile layout Disney and Hulu use. And I hate that they use different sized tiles; makes it hard to read. I prefer the more focused layout Netflix uses (and the others have copied) where the category is in the middle of the screen, the preview plays on top and you see a preview of the next category. I also get a lot of errors on my Continue Watching list with those two. (I feel like Netflix rarely has issues with that.) But my biggest pet peeve with every other service is how annoying it is to turn subtitles on and off. Netflix is the only one that makes it easy and unobtrusive

UI?

@@master-of-mind5881 User interface. It’s the least frustrating to actually use. You don’t need to pause to turn on/off subtitles, it always pick up a show where you left off, navigating to see all the episodes and seasons is easy. Things like that.

Your right, I watched a Kenyan movie and it was cool

It's intriguing to learn that Netflix permitted children's content viewing despite the password sharing restrictions.

I wonder how many people would've cancelled netflix outright if children started having tantrums on netflix not being allowed?@@You-er1tn

@@You-er1tnmight have something to do with children of divorced parents. Plus children can’t subscribe anyways, so they’re not losing many customers there

@@weird-guyme to and even if we get a problem I will work around it even to cancel and re subscribe

Same paying for 5 services is not sustainable

@@nechirvanhevar435 it’s like paying for a cable subscription cause streaming has become a fractured version of cable instead of have most channels on one package you’re for the cable model if it was only the premium channels that each are a separate subscription

I am sailing the seas in a pirate ship 😂

Crunchyroll from sony is best for anime

Quality wise i'd take HBO>>>Netflix any day of the week. But "great" Netflix shows have some of that "it" factor vibes, like Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday. Even their mid hits like Bridgerton, Sex Education, You, Ozark are good. It's just that for every one of those shows, there are 5 pretty mediocre or unwatchable ones as well. HBO doesn't have those or keeps that ratio at a very very minimal.

@@saiganesyajonnalagadda3782I agree and that it’s max they can use hbo to acquire great movies cause outside of the power rangers Netflix has nothing for me max has a lot more for me like the dc and Cartoon Network catalogs as well as warners back catalog of network shows

@@saiganesyajonnalagadda3782 I'll go out on a limb and say most of the other services not just HBO are better by quality ratio. For every rings of power on Amazon there's a reacher. Apple just puts out banger in terms critical success but they don't get any popularity. Even paramount has invincible and the boys so by ratio most companies not named Disney do better than Netflix but Netflix is just better at getting that cultural love and popularity. People talk about their shows.

but netflix also gives up shows after 1 season, shows that were decently loved by many. what is stypid because most shows need more than 1season to succeed.

Yeah it’s because of how convenient streaming services are, especially for those who aren’t tech savvy. There’s definitely a vocal minority that fights back against Netflix, but the majority are locked in with them and it’d be hard to make them budge and look for other options

I agree it would be hard, but not impossible We just saw what happened with Wizards of the Coast and Unity. We have the ability its just a matter of getting people to care@@FilmStack

It's easy to scream laziness and do zero analysis of why it's easier for folks to stay with them than leave. It's the lack of a viable alternative in the marketplace. Yes there are other streaming services, but when those services doing the same shady shit as Netflix where are they gonna go? Also with every streaming service being a silo of movies + shows that corporation owns, it doesn't allow the kind of cross-polination of different media that Netflix or the old cable TV model did. In some cases you can get a mix Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Universal, and other companies work on Netflix still whereas if you go to Disney+....you're just gonna get that or with Paramount+ you're just gonna get what Viacom owns. Like sure they could go back to the husk of cable & network TV, but that still has the problems that pushed people away from it in the first place like high package costs per month compared to a single streaming service fee or the bloat of programs that they're not interested in. There is UKposts, but it doesn't have the same level of programming that is analogous to the crop of TV shows on the streaming services and you have to pay extra to buy/rent movies here. To use your example of Stranger Things, if a consumer doesn't want to deal with Netflix and doesn't want to "be far too lazy" but still wants to watch that show...what are you proposing that is just as fast & convenient as getting a Netflix account? There's just paying $40+ for a Blu-Ray season pack that won't come out for a long while after they air on Netflix, getting into pirating (which sorry, I know how to do that too but it's not as simple to figure out & do as paying a Netflix), or hope that someday it gets licensed out to another service which I am not holding my breath for anytime soon. We can sit here on our keyboards & complain like old men that people are just "lazy", but the systematic convenience factor is gonna win and bury our complaints into obscurity. I'd rather try to understand why that convenience is desirable and actually try to figure out what options are out there that are just as convenient, but more beneficial.

Some ppl don't have the time to torrent or stream movies or series nowadays. What with the ridiculous amount of Ads and having to wait for set show to be available to stream I would rather stream on Netflix. And this is coming from someone who use to torrent and stream shows for 2 years

Not everyone, I am happily Netflix free for about 2 years now. I started to realy hate their UI, their reccomondations and instead of their thousands of movies and series, they kept showing me the same titles over and over again. I won't come back until they give me an A-Z overview per series/movie genre. It's bot that difficult, I'm subscribed to 4 services which allow me to browse through all of their content.

Same here! I'm about half way through the 3rd book right now. Really hope the show does the series justice 🤞

I am not. The books were too anti-science and right-wing conspiracy for me.

And when u finally find a netflix original that is decent or even good. It is already cancelled after 1season

Thanks! Been working on it for a while and with Netflix announcing another price increase yesterday the video became even more relevant haha

Ok

@@chrisjfox8715 ok

Exactly! It’s silly how quick people are to think they will collapse due to some of their recent decisions (which even ended up helping them)

196 here

That's literally every business. You need a new big product all the time to stay ahead.

But that's literally been the business model of every television network for decades. Whether a network or a service, you aim for as many hit shows as possible to build your brand as a whole...and sometimes you win sometimes you lose but you keep pushing anyway.

Then they wont give shows change to become hits because they end them after 1season.

Sometimes it’s the only way to go when a piece of media u want to watch isn’t available legally like it’s marked out of print physically and not available digitally or to stream

What do you think will replace streaming?

@@FilmStack I don’t know but the media landscape right now is in a fragile state. The next 5 years will be pretty much the same as it is today but by the time we near 2030 I can see the media landscape becoming so fragile that it breaks. I think by 2030 the media will realise that the streaming model isn’t sustainable, and it will collapse. My hope is we somewhat return to a more physical media world, in the 2030’s, whether that happens or not who knows. But this streaming and social media driven world I think could collapse in the early 2030’s. As it’s just not sustainable for Movies, Music and TV. Movies, Music and TV are all in a bad place right now, and the bubble is about to burst I think, by the time we near 2030.

Yeah definitely something interesting to keep an eye on! For sure streaming isn’t the “final” solution. The industry will always evolve (usually to whatever gets them more money). Wonder what that will be haha

@@FilmStack I don't think streaming will die, outside of total societal collapse that takes down internet servers the appeal of the internet & watching stuff on the internet has too high of a convenience factor. If pressed to pick a streaming alternative, it might be the return of cable TV packages but embrace niche. One model I could see working is take the model Samsung is doing with their own siloed TV channels (on their smart TVs) dedicated around a very specific genre or IP. They have channels from Dr.Who, Star Trek, Unsolved Mysteries to crime shows & cooking show reruns. That would borrow the appeal of streaming or UKposts where consumers can pick a specific program to watch without having to sit through other programs they don't want to see like on current cable TV, but be in a silo where corporations can still insert & charge for ad space to make money like in the older days. When new programming comes on you can slot specific times, charge ad space for it, and the rest of the channel can still be reruns of those specific programs. Granted I don't think that would be appealing at all to the corporate suit and the investor that demands unsustainable profit growth, but it's the closest I could come up with.
