I miss when Netflix didn't had originals and it had any old movie or show you actually wanted to see... before they caused the streaming wars

[@vullord666]

This was part of the problem though. It was ALWAYS going to go down this route. They offered customers too much value for too little cost while at the same time having no way to support creators and make up for the massive losses. Look at the music and entertainment industries. When Spotify and Netflix showed up, they DESTROYED revenue. And then they trained users to expect that stupid high amount of value. Take password sharing for example. That is an AWFUL misuse of any subscription especially when it was originally unlimited, but Netflix waited too long to do anything about it and now fixing that problem makes everyone angry because they’re used to having it. As time went on the only way they could recoup losses is by raising subscription prices and using originals to force users to their subscription. The problem is that Netflix was never a platform, but solely a service. There’s no way to buy to own or support creators. Compare it instead with Microsoft’s more recent Xbox Game Pass. There are no exclusives to the service. Any game on it you can still buy on console or pc with a 20% off discount. Movies don’t have dlc or microtransactions so that’s unique to games, but you also get 10% off of those. The library isn’t thousands, but hundreds and enough that they aren’t offering too much value for the cost. There was no password sharing in the beginning, making the family plan the norm. Indie developers praise it for boosting their games exposure and Microsoft themselves have stated they’ve seen at least a 40% increase in subscribers BUYING games. All Netflix needs to do is encourage buying again and stop forcing a subscription service that’s JUST a money sink. For example say they put each season of stranger things up on their own storefront (which there’s also a massive gap in the industry for a single entertainment store that you can access across PC, ios, and android) for $20. One person buying that would already give them a free extra sub cost (actually more). Then let’s say they give a discount on the sticker price that only cuts off $5, but makes it look more attractive. Then let’s say they put all the movies and tv shows they had on their with that discount. They’d get to keep AT LEAST 10% of profits from all sales in addition to what they get from the subscription cost and 100% for selling their own originals.

[@XShrike0]

Before Netflix started the streaming wars? It felt more like all the other studios just wanted to cut out the middle man. Now none of them have enough content to stay subscribed to.

[@skeetsmcgrew3282]

@@vullord666 Agree with the first half entirely but the second half is a big no from me dawg. I don't want to buy things. I watch maybe 1% of all the media I've ever watched more than once. Buying movies and TV shows is almost always dumb, unless it's for a child who will happily watch it 100x. Nothing they do to make buying media attractive would ever work on me, and that goes double for most of gen z. Video games are different for many reasons, not the least of which being that they are effectively made to be played more than once. If Netflix had jacked up prices back before they had like 6 competing platforms they would have set a standard that wouldn't have required all the other services to be super cheap as well. Now jacking prices makes them look bad. KZbin has a similar problem, the fact that it's free is why it sucks ass, without advertisers to satisfy they would be 1000x better. But now they are stuck because everyone expects it to be free. Selling cat videos for $2 each isn't the solution, just actually charge money for it

At 3:10, I was half-expecting him to be kicked out the office window like that comic strip. 😂 Though seriously, I do wish some shows were weekly. There's something about having to wait for each episode and having this thing to look forward to. Sure, I can space them out however I want, but it's just not the same when all the episodes are already up.

I'm going to school for business management and my thesis happens to be on why Netflix is losing subscriptions. After writing about the company for an entire semester, I can safely say this video is both hilarious and accurate.

"Pauly Shore Pinocchio Spin Off" really sounds like a line that should be an ironic joke about like terrible Hollywood movie ideas but then you remember that it's real...

I'm honestly curious about the kind of mental gymnastics that go on inside think tanks, it must be some weird juggling between stuff that pleases the investors because they'll see them as profit improvements but also stuff that will scare them away because they know they will be unpopular among consumers, so investors either are pretty dumb and think some stuff won't backfire or are maliciously smart and know peopoe will keep consuming despite supporting something bad, even for themselves

Netflix is actually the one streaming service that DOESN'T have subscription tiers. Prime is the real villain here.

[@gamrknight8060]

at least Amazon Prime has like a few good shows (The Boys and Invincible) and some of their movies are absolute bangers (The Tomorrow War)

[@The-Blue-Knight]

This is pretty funny. I haven't looked into Netflix for years, I'm assuming some of this is real?

[@GeneralLeeRetarded]

theyve been talking about cutting us password leechers off for a few months now. Also they always cancel shows as soon as it gets good or they feel like people arent watching it. Tbh I do that with anime accidentally Ill watch it on 9anime or something instead of netflix. Ive been trying to watch it more on netflix so they can see I/people actually like their new shows they been putting out. Edgerunners is sick af.

[@Black_pearl_adrift]

Funding the first season and cancelling that’s 100% part of their business strategy. Apparently it gets people to subscribe and hopes to hook them with older shows on the platform

[@Black_pearl_adrift]

Also Netflix has been very very brutal with animation as well

[@da_pikmin_coder8367]

Disney+, HBOmax, Amazon Prime: "Customers get everything our streaming service offers no matter how many things they're watching. So let's just make sure there's an ongoing show for everyone during each month. We don't wanna make too many shows that appeal to a niche audience at once and burn out." Netflix: "MAKE MORE ORIGINALS! WE'LL HAVE SO MANY ORIGINALS THAT NOBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL EVER GET TO WATCH THEM ALL! AND AT THAT POINT THEY'LL FORGET THAT WE KEEP LOSING VINTAGE MOVIES AND SHOWS TO OTHER STREAMING SERVICES!! VIVA LA QUANTITY OVER QUALITY!!"

[@XMysticHerox]

Prime has it's channels lol. It's even worse in that regard. Though they do at least seem to understand the basic concept of a subscription service eg you need to make stuff for your existing customers and not just shows that draw in new people.

I realized how much I didn’t need Netflix when I would spend more time browsing Netflix than watching Netflix. Which means I’d probably do well to have that first tier option.
