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

Long live the king

They not that much better

HBO Max, Amazon and Disney+ took away a lot of content that they would have had 6-7 years ago.

People mainly initially signed up to Netflix for that content.

During Netflix's peak they also had Narcos (not the trash Mexico stuff but The Pablo stuff), House of Cards, Orange is The New Black, Stranger Things, Daredevil, The Crown etc

Now other than Squid Games (who even knows when season 2 will come) and Bridgerton it doesn't feel like their new shows move the needle like that.

Then they also put the price up during a pandemic.

infinite growth is the lie of capitalism.

at some point everything gets

Exactly. Even if they didn't raise their prices and had nothing but complete fire 24/7 they still were going to face this sooner or later. They pretty much capped out plus people's wallets have gotten tighter. there was never infinite growth for them or any media company. Now they have to go to phase 4 or 5, maintain the subscriber base, tighten up the content, go once a week episodes, etc. They release a lot of content but they should slow down and pace themselves a bit. Half the their shyt cannibalizes itself cause they stack so many new shows and movies right on top of each other so neither get their proper due and day in the sunshine. People don't seem to appreciate them putting out a lot of content anyways so what's the rush?

all 200K subscribers they lost are on the Coli it seems
Netflix still has more "watercooler" shows than all the other streamers combined
HBO Max was so great that it was just sold because AT&T didn't want the headache

Netflix fukking up the bag ain't no mystery.
Too much filler - Instead of concentrating on the best original content, they just threw up a slew of bullshyt original shows and movies. Most of it geared toward women and gays. Way too many unfunny comedy specials.
Greed - When people are seeing high prices at the grocery store and the gas station, what should you not do? Raise your price every few months. Stopping account sharing is just dumb. Remember when they came out and said that they didn't give a shyt if you shared your account?
Dumb shyt - Canceling shows that people actually liked. Ads? SMH

They can be honest with themselves and rebound or die slow. Their choice.

nah, binge watching is the wave.

I don't even follow shows week to week or thru one to two month breaks. I wait until the season is over to watch them at my own leisure.

True but Netflix is still going to have to eventually release one episode week as HBOMax, Disney+, and Prime do this for everything. Every streaming platform would've milked the new season of Ozark for two months. Netflix releases it all at once and people eat it up in a week and then it disappears in the air like it never even came out. Then after they binge it in under a week then they turn right around and say there's nothing on Netflix. Its nothing but a lose-lose for them to drop all the episodes at once.. especially now with all the competition. Stretch your big tent show like Ozark out for two months then that sets you up to drop a Stranger Things immediately afterward on a one episode per week basis. Then its going to look like you're coming with that nonstop heat.. at least better than it looks now. They drop heat to me its just that their content's shelf life is extremely low.

i should really cancel them
i literally don't watch shyt... i'm just giving them money for no reason. at least with Hulu I can catch Atlanta/Snowfall the next day.
i should really cancel them next once the seasons end

That was before HBOMax, Disney+, Prime, Hulu, etc. came on the scene. Remember they had a good 10 years or more all to themselves in the streaming game before the competition came

-On another note, everybody claims to hate Netflix in these types of threads but in The Film Room and in real life, everybody still fukks with Netflix

200k globally

That's it?


I swear the media so pathetic

From 221.8 million to 221.6 million

The bigger takeaway is the possible ceiling being hit of the growth model during the pandemic but still. These nikkas just needed to dump

 

[Prince.Skeletor]

Messiah

Yesss
I was so anxious for season 2

 

[Indacut74]

That was canned due to religious folks bytchin and complaining like they usually do

I'm not too sure about this one. This is the same platform that released Cuties. Messiah probably did not attract enough viewers or subscribers to warrant the cost or backlash.

 

[2 one 3]

All of em suck really

 

[levitate]

Yeah, they definitely going to go hard on limiting password sharing.

Who’s that in your profile pic though?

HBO Max got the juice now
