Netflix could turn everything around. 1) stop raising the price 2) stop worrying about password sharing 3) stop releasing crap content at such a fast rate, instead invest into 5 or 6 hit shows and a couple of movies for each season.

[@jazzrockr]

(1-2) Always the strategy for Netflix for "growth" and profitability at some point and making more revenue. 3) There's a lot of shows with contracts with Netflix. This is also a subjective category that you'll probably need to refine in what way. If it's eyeballs and ads, there's nothing like trashy reality TV.

[@thebaldnerd1989]

What’s really sad is, a lot of the downfall isn’t really at the fault of Netflix itself. All of these different studios that had their content up on Netflix, pulled it once the contracts were up and started their own streaming services. Now the market is saturated with streaming services and there’s just too many in my opinion. I really do miss the days when all I needed to watch everything I wanted was Netflix and Hulu.

[@danr8267]

But it still is their fault. You'd think they'd lower their prices after the fact but no they got cocky and increased every 2 years. I think Hulu has only increased their prices by $1 since 2014

Hulu has some streaming exclusives, but is more integrated into traditional models (because of its ownership by dominant television programming studios/networks). But there's also lots of other choices and not really the exigent urge to pull people in as there was at one point.

[@TNTITAN]

@@danr8267 How can they decrease their price if Netflix has to make original content for their service?

[@shirox11]

Netflix had zero competition. Now it does, and that competition offers better original programs and has rights to more popular ips. Meanwhile Netflix’s answer to there problems is to simply make more anti consumer choices. Like blocking sharing passwords outside your household and offering a cheaper option that has adds instead of just reducing there prices across the board. Netflix’s price point for what they offer is not competitive at all. There original content is very hit and miss. Those are reasons they are crumbling. Not the bs excuse they give of password sharing.

[@metalrockstarizer89]

It's really not about Netflix underestimating their competitors, it's the fact that they're competitors are behemoths of the industry, with decades of mind share on their backs (HBO, Disney), and/or infinite amounts of money (Amazon, Disney). Kind of like with MS, Xbox was always a part time job, literally a hobby for them, they were so massive in fact , that there were concerns about them just coming in and monopolizing an industry they had never been apart of in any significant capacity before 2001. The 80 billion they threw in less than 2 years at Bethesda and ABK? They always had that type of money, but if they did that back then, they would've bought more than half of the entire industry, so they let it grew before they got serious, same for Disney and the others.

[@ryanbush6118]

The problem is everyone's trying to be the next Netflix, it's an example of more competition actually being a bad thing for the consumer

[@electronix6898]

I disagree. The thing is that the streaming service market isn't a real competitive market. Because think about it, you essentially have a bunch of companies with their own locked IPs making their own services. You aren't just paying for the service. You're paying for ACCESS to those exclusive IPs that company owns. It's not like where you can either subscribe to HBO or Paramount or Disney Plus to access MCU movies or Game of Thrones just to use as examples. It's not like the movie theaters where you can pick from AMC or B&B or Cinemark to watch, say, Top Gun: Maverick for example. If you want to watch The Iron Giant for example, Warner Brothers owns that so your only place to see that is HBO Max. If you want to see Disney properties, you HAVE to watch it on Disney Plus or Hulu and the other stuff they got. It's not like someone can just make up their own streaming service and put the stuff on there and offer better service for cheaper and actually compete. No. It's inherently an exclusive, anti-competitive market.

[@reggiefils-aime9798]

I ain't reading all that, but happy for you, or aww man, that sucks hope you recover

[@electronix6898]

Yeah there are some properties here and there that are shared between services but assuming the IP is big enough, that company will want to lock it off themselves and cut off the middle man. Remember, it wasn't that long ago before Marvel had their MCU movies Netflix before the contract was up and Disney had Disney Plus.

Netflix got too comfortable with their lead like other large companies do, once they have little to no competition, they do very little to improve their services, or when they have movies that people love, they just cancel the shows for no apparent reason, despite how good people like them, plus at the time, all of the other studios used their platform, but once Hulu combined their services with ESPN, Disney, and other companies, they laughed at Hulu, but once Disney pulled their shows out, and made their own streaming service, they knew it was going to hit them, then all of a sudden, other networks either did the same thing, or joined together with other companies, shows started disappearing on Netflix, and now Netflix is feeling the heat. It was good while it lasted, but eliminating account sharing, and having a high cost streaming service vs everyone else is hurting them. If it goes up one more time, I'm done, and I'll stay with Philo TV, Amazon Prime since I get it free thanks to MetroPCS, and Tubi TV, even though it has commercials, they have tons of great shows on it, plus the commercials are short.

I remember 10 years ago having thrifted Wiis hooked up to all our "dumb" tvs for the sole purpose to give them Netflix. Today those Wiis sit forgotten, the tvs long gone, and Netflix is merely an afterthought. Times certainly have changed.

I used to have Neflix for years, but once they said they were starting to crack down on password sharing. I immediately canceled my subscription, as an FU.

I don't know how it works but in my country you can't claim take for anything that isn't work related

[@DJB0X3R]

They need to upgrade the 1 screen option properly to 1080p.

[@RelentlessOhiox]

You can find anything on the Internet for free folks. I only pay for YT Premium. Never touched another service.

[@Platinumsniper]

Netflix and all other streaming services also need to flip the CRTC the finger.

[@AchtungEnglander]

Netflix is crumbling, it lost 0.5% of their install base.

[@hellspawn7385]

Netflix ain't got s*** to watch everything they have on their sucks

[@michaeljones5307]

I'm in the UK, 4K Netflix is £14.99 a month, Prime and Disney+ are both £7.99, and they both include 4K, I don't know how Netflix can justify the price when their competitors are half what they charge!

[@ZaberfangX]

Can't forget Netflix what hurts them too, is that comcast and some other are asking Netflix for more money, seem only happening in the US so far. If not, they can't really help them if customer get a nice 360p video stream due to bandwidth problem, but go's away ones if they pay abit more.

If another company ever gets it’s hands on stranger things netflix is done.

[@Tulf42]

The biggest competitors against Netflix and Hulu are Amazon Prime and Disney +, which are earning more money in general so they can afford to buy the more popular shows and movies that were once on Netflix.

[@WinicjuszPlastelina]

Netflix Amazon Disney Hulu Paramount ..... Music Services...Gaming Services... Come On Man ! We need 20 different subscriptions ?! It's too much it's fucking insane.

[@Paulzpt]

Does nobody think if Disney+ can offer 0 ads and no up charge for 4K content for $8 a month, Netflix should just do the same?

[@joeseabreeze]

I canceled Netflix before the pandemic because they don’t provide the content that interests me. And while Hulu doesn’t have as much content, I find the quality way higher for the type of movies and shows that I watch. I always thought that it was just a matter of time before their greed got the best of them. Don’t rest on your laurels in a highly competitive industry

[@joshua2303]

Rich you really dropped the ball here. If I really wanted to watch user generated content I can watch it on KZbin for FREE! Netflix is for actual tv shows and movies.

[@teamofone1219]

Netflix should definitely make a competitor to KZbin, they have the money they just need to commit to it.

[@anthonyf616]

Maybe they'll call it cuties and make it for kids

[@SSG_Ronnie42]

Seems like Netflix is slowly becoming the new 'Blockbuster'
