I think it's hilarious how Netflix can add millions of subscribers every quarter, and then first time there's a net negative, a net negative is much smaller than all their net positive quarters, they immediately lose half their value.
It's like there's a belief in infinite, uninterrupted growth, and the moment that mirage is lifted the invisible hand abandons them in search of some other mirage.
The interest rates are getting raised, so now they need an actual return on investment. The problem is that their business model doesn't work without free money.
I will listen to native american flute music and stare into the flames while netflix and twitter burn on top of each other and turn to ash

"Millennials are killing the streaming service industry."
lol, like 80% of sharers are gonna deactivate upon notice of "abuse", others are going to figure out how many $2/mo sub accounts they need to support like 7 more people and are going to organize within family and friend networks and deactivate all but one primary resulting in a further net loss of subscription revenue.
Netflix is going to claim this is working right up until some quarterly earnings report comes out and says they fiscally shit the bed and rolled around in it.

Nah, this is going to be like AOL, where the bulk of the subscribers have forgotten they're even paying for it and don't know how to unsubscribe. Just an endless legacy money train that fuels them for decades to come.

They'll suffer a bit of attrition up front, but that'll just put them in a position to entice people to sign up again with teaser deals. Expect to see Netflix pivot to bundling with cell phone and ISP providers (like Hulu and HBO did) to juice their numbers. And expect tiers of content so that they can upsell to their existing clients.
Also, at some point, we're going to have to see a wave of consolidation. So perhaps a bunch of layoffs on the way to merging with Showtime or Paramount or some other lackluster provider. But long term, the worst they'll do is what Yahoo managed. Limping along forever on legacy revenue.
Meanwhile on YouTube reactionary channels: "Youtube is failing cuss of the wokeness!1!1!!! Now while you're here please buy from my sponsor, masculine onion scented dick and balls soap!"
For all the shit Netflix gets, I honestly don't understand how YouTube has any users left. Its just a deluge of ads, constantly, from every conceivable direction. I feel like I'm watching one of those daytime movie channels from the 80s, where it plays Animal House on a loop but cuts to commercial every five minutes.
Honestly I feel YouTube is propped up by what remains of it's content creators and even then it's mostly lets players posting their VODS after doing their main work on twitch. A lot of the metric they previously had for payouts of creators have been changed for the worse and it has created a ceiling of entry for youtubers thereby restricting content. That's why like 75% of YouTube is creepy marketing directed to kids and other such pieces of nightmare fuel.
The only reason I haven't canceled my Netflix subscription, is that other people I gave password to are using it. So I say, do it Netflix! Do iiiiiiiiit!
with how little theyre putting out AND this i dont see why id even do the courtesy of using my friends password anymore and find those shows elsewhere
Thanks, but...
Video could not be loaded because an adblocker or ISP block. Before contacting us:
- Try with Microsoft Edge Browser
pass.
I use firefox with ublock and it works fine. That's cool though, I'll continue watching 95% of what I look for for free until the site gets shut down again.
I use firefox with ublock (and uMatrix) too. But that doesn't change the fact that everything I attempt to load there, I get "Video could not be loaded because an adblocker or ISP blocker." I will watch for free too, but I will torrent instead. Or in some cases, piggyback on other paid streaming accounts. If that works for you, great, but forgive me for being skeptical how often it really does.
Lmao my dad (who i share a password with) texted me about this the other day bc someone was talking about it on npr, asking if I was worried about it
I wish they would give me an excuse to cancel this shit outright
>viva just cancel it
I keep it for my partner who lives off watching Netflix apparently
Pirating shit is an inconvenience
Less and less so as the streaming services revert back into their original cable-brand forms.
