For the first time since Netflix started fulltime streaming it is losing subscribers. Lost 200k

I think this Netflix dilemma will have the competition on the lookout as well that this streaming game isn't sweet which I'm sure they already know. Disney gets by from having Marvel and Star Wars content in their vault but its a family friendly service and their new Marvel and Star Wars shows that they've actually made themselves are mid and gets ripped to death. I have HBOMax as well but it takes their entire vault and the Warner Brothers vault to be hailed as a success over the competition even though the app is clunky and buggy as hell. Prime gets by since its an add on to its massive Prime Delivery service. Only a select few actually have Apple TV as most watch their shows on Kodi or other low key free sites. Netflix was the real one trying to build something from scratch but they f*cked up along the way with allowing shared passwords, dropping all episodes at once, and blowing huge amounts of money on subpar content. What's the point of making a Red Notice that cost nearly $300 million to make and its not going to be in theaters? The next few years will be interesting

Your take is spot on fam. HBO got the best content but their ui is trash, Amazon prime video gets by being basically a free add on bonus on top of prime, Apple got money to blow and easy to incorporate in Apple products and Disney has the most marquee classics and name brands. Netflix got too comfortable releasing mediocre content because of the monopoly they once had. They don’t have the funds to compete so they going to have to come up with some revolutionary tech or they going to be the new blockbuster. All major companies pulling their content and adding it to their services has been killing it them as well. Cracking down on password sharing is like putting a band aid on a gun shot wound .

That’s the thing it’s their biggest drop yet. Nothing states it was just a outlier. Sales going to keep going down as the other services beef up. HBOMAX content is already goated
and Apple and Amazon busting open the war chest to catch up.

On the real, once that movie from Apple TV+ got awards out of the ass, its official that Netflix got too comfortable to realize the bigger threat and that's legit content. Folks are getting tired of microwave shows and movies. And now that the pandemic dried up a little bit and companies going back to the basics on some "cable tv" shyt, whats the point of paying 20 dollars for a service that's half assing with shows on the level of "Oww My Balls", when you can spend half of that on HBO Max with a shyt load of content, Discovery Plus with all of the reality TV and informative shyt, or Disney Plus which got the game on lock.

That won't happen but they definitely have to start moving smarter from here on out. Stay ahead of the curve like they used to. Like that video that was posted a page or two ago, keep creating new stars like they did with the girl from Ozark/Inventing Anna, and the Queen's Gambit girl. The young director who made Extraction with Helmsworth, find more dudes like the ones who filmed Kanye and made it into a documentary. If you let Fincher do Mank demand another season of Mindhunter and promote that shyt instead of dumping two/three other shows and movies right on top of it. Its small shyt

Poetry breh

When the sword you use to kill the king, ends up in the hands of a adversary to take out your kingdom

Netflix actually went to Blockbuster to see if they wanted to buy them out and Blockbuster told them to

 

[ORDER_66]

People are making a killing off netflix loosing right now shyt is crazy

Netflix really needs to change the quality of content that they put out.

Most of it is honestly just cheap fluff. They only have a handful of actual premium quality shows that engages the masses.

That alone will help them tremendously but with so many other streaming platforms buying up IPs and talent I just don't know if they can do it.

Look at hbo. They don't pump out as much original content at the rate that Netflix does but when they do you know it's going to be a A1 or close.

In recent memory look at Lovecraft country and watchmen comes to mind

 

[Gains]

they been releasing quantity over quality

 

[ECA]

Netflix has zero classic movies released prior to the 90s. HBOMAX having TCM, Studio Ghibli, and the animated DCU is major

Lost 200,000 but they lost 700,000 because of suspending it's service in Russia. If they didn't, they would be up 500,000

"Subscriber additions were also expected to be impacted by Netflix’s decision to suspend its service in Russia, where the streamer said it had around 700,000 subscribers, over the invasion of Ukraine."

Yep, they said they would be cutting back on their spend. Should go for quality over quantity.

Now that I think about it, HBO is going to be releasing that The last of Us TV series sometime later this year or potentially next year. And I believe that's going to be huge.

Definitely going to scratch that itch that Game of Thrones left in people after it ended. The cat that worked on Chernobyl is involved not to mention naughty dog themselves. And it has the potential to run for several seasons. It's going to be The walking Dead But a better story, grittier, higher budget, better produced, etc.

Definitely going to help HBOs stock when it finally airs and gets to trending.

They don't really have any new shows that appeal to large groups of people year round. They've been so obsessed with micro targeting specific groups that they missed the bigger boat. Yea I get why having reality tv shows for women or gay people is important. But outside of Ozarks where are the serious, prestige type shows? Ozarks in of itself is kind of a cynical, lab recreation of Breaking Bad...but it worked for their audience, and while it's not a great show it's certainly popular. I don't get why they didn't move further in that direction, and perhaps mix that with some of the targeting. For instance imagine a Breaking Bad type shyt with a black lead/black family lead. Or a female driven one.

They also spend way too much money on shows that end up looking meh.

While doing my old man ranting and clicking to cancel I called this shyt. Netflix content is hot garbage. And they want us to fund even
more hot garbage with their price increases.

they charge extra for 4k which is pretty much a basic expectation now (4k is ubiquitous and standard now in everywhere but gaming). And they’ll say yes to any bum ass producer who pitches a dumb reality show or a stretched out unnecessary true crime documentary.

Tiger King had them gassed up that it didn’t take a lot of money or competing with HBO Max for creating good original series. They were wrong. Bums.


I hope they go the way of Blockbuster Video.

 

[BlackBall]

Who’s financing this company?

 

[Art Barr]

Meanwhile Apple TV+ gang lighting up them cigars . Oscar award winning movies, barely cancelled shows, and quality over quantity content

Tried that physical shyt and its impossible due to my constant traveling breh. Trust I wish I had a wall of Criterion jawns and etc, but as a traveling marsupial, digital>>>>>>>boxes of dvds and shyt that's one edge to the flea market.
