I worked on a Netflix Original series. Netflix’s release model is insane: they repeatedly spend millions on new series, only to drop all episodes at once, not advertise them at all, and cancel them because they (obviously) didn’t meet a metric that corporate cooked up. Netflix has a bad reputation among creators now.
Do they really have more paying customers or they charge customers more?

All I can say for sure is I am not a paying customer of Netflix. I am no customer of Netflix.
When they were reporting sub numbers Netflix had like 250 million users whereas Disney+ the next largest streamer only had like 125 to 150 million users.
Here in Los Angeles, some of us had already stopped going to theaters pre-pandemic due to traffic, parking insanity, high prices (except for special early and matinee prices) and some movies in multiplexes being shown on smaller screens in "theaters" literally as small as our condo. Btw, we rejoin Netflix for a month once or twice a year to catch up on our favorite shows, but we have an awesome Disney+/Max/Hulu bundle with more shows and movies we actually watch...
Our house didn't like Netflix and cancelled it after a year. Only to change our internet package a year later and we now have 2 years of free Netflix. Bah
Netflix's biggest hits are wrapping up or have wrapped up. They're getting away with documentaries but that's not sustainable. That's their biggest concern. Their objection to theatrical runs doesn't make sense imo. Unless it's garbage, a 30/45 day run before going to streaming would help build hype & help recoup the budget.
Couple of things. 1) while the potential for profits for ad based based revenue are immense the majority of subscribers will gladly pay lots of money to avoid ads. Probably the biggest way Netflix has disrupted the traditional Hollywood business model. 2) I could have sworn that Margo Robbie has a first look deal with Warner Bro’s. Unless I misunderstood the terms of that her, and her production team, have to make the movie with WB if WB is interested in making the film. Not sure why it’s newsworthy that she declined the money when she has that deal set up with WB. 3) other streaming/movie and film companies have to bundle their streaming together just to even have a chance at matching Netflix. Not too long ago Bob Iger was quoted saying something like that most streaming services, besides Netflix, probably won’t make it due to how different Netflix’s business model is compared to more traditional movie and tv studios. Time will tell to see if he was right.
I'm sorry, I'm with Netflix on this one. Streaming has provided many film makers & production companies outside of America an opportunity to get their content across a global audience for less. Theatrical releases are just not cheap and are not an option for the vast majority of small studios, I really pray Netflix survives.
Netflix could easily show small films, and global content, and indeed, legally have to do so (which is why they do it) as lots of countries require local content to be made and shown, so they may as well show Hindi films in the UK and make the content because they want to have subscribers in India. This doesn't have any impact on the fact that if they make a $100 million dollar film, that's clearly for the cinema, they should just do a theatrical release. That costs them nothing because it's a profit making enterprise. That's like saying Mars should make Mars Bars because it costs them money... yes... but we pay them for them, so they make a profit!
Netflix clearly had to shift their focus from their origins as a movie service for film fans to a mainstream, lowest common denominator commercial tv streaming station to keep the numbers growing. It worked financially, but the brand certainly took a hit. Netflix series and films were events for a few years. Now "Netflix movie" is a derogatory term for a mediocre action movie, sort of what CannonGlobus was in the 80s.
Adding a member to your account,no more sharing an account,only monthly plans instead of 6 or 12 months with a discount.Not allowing shows the time to find an audience,because of all this nonsense i cancelled after 7 years.
I do not understand what kind of people watching Netflix, i was persuaded to get Netflix some months ago but cancelled it again, the whole Netflix is filled with garbage
@@김모치-z1h - yes? But how bad are those other streaming services then? It was tons and tons of series with an obviously thin story and filled with "sassy" women doing "cool stuff" And if most of what they produce are material cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons I think not just me are disappointed
It used to be genuinely good, but it's spent a decade stripping itself of quality while it raises its prices. You very much chose the worst time to try it out 😅
@@RyanDB - I think you are right, for some reason our cable-tv supplier contacted everyone and told us they should call us, several times we where told they should call us, I do not know why, and one day a guy actually called me, for no apparent reason, but we where talking and I complained a little about the tv-channels, "try Netflix" he replied, "ok" I said, think I had it for a couple of months
I do wonder what massive investment Netflix is throwing at outside of hollywood studios are for awhile now. They recently shutdown their gaming division (let's be real here, it was bound to happen if it only specialized in mobile games) but their investment in the anime genre is thriving that they are able to release a lot of new anime series exclusively available in their platform and not everyone in the anime streaming platform can easily do the pace Netflix is doing. I do think they are more focused in filling their catalogue with a lot of regional shows for now. Here in the Philippines, they were able to swoop in and purchase the streaming rights of a lot popular Filipino shows and movies in the 2010s and capitalize on it to produce an original regional series like Trese for example. One thing for sure is, studios outside of Hollywood is cheaper to fund and the years of experience Netflix has under their belt in doing so will be beneficial for them for awhile.
Netflix’s failure with the games was how they handled it! If they would have kept the games available for anyone to get, (other than subscribers), the ad revenue would have been up there!
@@GNewcomb-q9v Sadly, that doesn't how Netflix operate. They have been bleeding cash for a long time and the game studio is treated more experimental rather than a massive investment. I bet they knew what they were getting in if they actually went out there and acquired some IPs before making original games.
I love all the people in comments and on Twitter that are armchair analyst going "People will never fall for the password sharing crackdown" or "They have the worst content no one will ever want them" and yet the continue to crush the competition, even Disney. You think eventually people would realize they and their hot takes are dumb lol
From a business point of view, they're doing really well. But as a customer, it's been years since Netflix showed me anything worthwhile. They seem to be leaning into cheaper soap-operas and true crime documentaries, at the expense of high concept shows such as Stranger Things.
If the amount you paid was enough to cover the costs, they'll probably not bother with ads. But as it stands, it isn't, as most streaming services are losing money while netflix is barely profitable but with debt that's orders of magnitude larger than any annual profit they've ever made. The main reason many people think it's wrong to pay money & have ads is because netflix created that taste/culture, but it was the only way for cable & satellite TV companies to survive (yes, they too were barely profitable), until netflix came in & acted like it was a taboo. Even then I thought it was fishy, as cable would give you tons of channels for $100+/month at the time with ads, yet Netflix would give you tons of movies & shows (which is what most viewers watched more on TV than any other content besides sports) for $8/month & no ads! It didn't seem sustainable & it wasn't. They were in debt of $20B before they even started making $20B in revenue, as they needed funds to make content. Now it has caught up to them which is why password sharing, a return to the sanity of subscription subsidisation via ads & inevitable price increases have been embraced by them recently.
That's just no true. There's plenty of good shows on there. It's literally impossible that you enjoy film and TV and they had nothing you would have enjoyed. It is possible you've seen some of it before, but they also have plenty of original content that's exclusive. Now, if you said you didn't know what shows you'd want to watch on there, and couldn't find them because the search engine is a cluttered mess and lots of what it shows you is stuff you have to rent for more money, sure, I'd agree. But it's like saying you went to the National Gallery and there were no good pictures there.
Netflix looked shaky a few years ago because they were green-lighting garbage and producing terrible shows. The question was whether they would be able to become the equivalent of the old movie studios and produce compelling content. After some teething troubles it seems like they have mastered that problem, and if they can entertain, nothing else matters. Dammit. Should have bought some stock.
Which is why I don't click or buy anything from any ads being offered by anyone no matter what, I will never support this new poison, so these companies can waste away their money for all I care. Ohh I also don't subscribe to creators who begs me to subscribe and like their video within 30 seconds of the video, when a simple written notification during the video would have been better and less annoying, plus is it really necessary to ask repeatedly on every video? Repetitive annoyance = no growth. Now, where were we? Oh Netflix, Screw them.
Well if they have money now then everything should be fine in the long run. I work for an Swedish investor of German descent who works for Aktia bank in Finland and we are going to do loads of movie and TV series projects we are looking to partner up with Netflix.
Unless I missed it you are overlooking an important factor. Netflix is moving into live tv. They have trialed this with some sport events and starting next year will be taking over WWE broadcasting with some minor exceptions. This will be their first majour worldwide test into live tv.
They should absolutely do this in the mornings when cinemas don't bother to open. Give people a morning ticket, and you can watch the big Stranger Things show for a cheap price in the smaller screens.
@@jonevansauthor or even during night times, so many people will want to watch Stranger Things final season on a massive screen with amazing audio. I think it can become a cultural thing, cinemas are drying, movies aren't bringing in enough anymore, a lot of movies are just remakes and aren't that great. TV shows can help keep cinemas afloat especially if big companies partner with certain chains.
Acknowledgement that you got it wrong before suggests to me, you've got it wrong again. Especially since you've doubled down around predicting Netflix's downfall once again. It's almost like you've developed a cost fallacy around the issue.
I dont think Netflix has done things right. The thing is they had a dominant position and all the other streaming platforms have horrible pricing, content and apps. Even worse than Netflix. So not the same thing. I found it really funny the CEO of Netflix thought bundling was "old media", when streaming sites are actually going back to what old canle was.
You forgot to mention something very important movies can make lots of money in theaters. Spending lots of money on a movie only to dump it on a streaming platform makes no money.
Also, some movie makers are big into the theater experience. The last Maverick movie was specifically held back by Cruise until after Covid so it could be experienced on the big screen with a super sound system.
@@E3ECO Tom Cruise would have gotten a percentage of the profits so it's more likely he wanted the money then he really cared about the experience. That goes with all the others who say they care the theater experience they really just want to protect the millions they'll make.
@@mightheal that is the most ignorant thing I've read today. You really think Tom Cruise isn't a massive fan of the cinema experience? What does he have to do to persuade you? I care about the theatre experience as a cinema goer. I care. I'm a customer. I'm not the only one. It's better watching big films in the cinema. It's social. Why go to an actual theatre to see a live performance of Henry V? Why go to a garden when you can look at pictures? Why eat good food when microwave meals exist?
You shouldn’t make content around subject matter you haven’t got a clue about. Netflix has massive untapped pricing power that they haven’t yet unleashed
You couldn't be more right, its all woke DEI hired writers and directors. They care more about pushing a message then making a good show. If anyone disagrees with you, you know they are blue haired, orange man bad people living on welfare, while thinking communism is a great idea.
@@squirrel9760 Wow, great response, you really showed them. You didn't have any proof against all the race baiting, gender swapping, "modern audience" created, alphabet based stuff being made today that is failing to connect with non-woke, intelligent audience members. But hey, keep screaming into the wind, it sure seems to be helping these companies financially succeed.
I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for hearing and answering my prayers, thank You, Lord! May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us in sharing Your unconditional love. On another note, trusting the process really does bring great rewards. Working with Melissa Jonas Richard has positively impacted my financial journey, and her advice has helped me grow. If you’re considering a change, don’t hesitate and stay disciplined it could be just the opportunity you’ve been looking for!
Oh my goodness, I’m so happy to hear that! Melissa is amazing. I was skeptical at first, but her approach to investments is next level. I started small, but now my portfolio is way better than I ever imagined. She’s really professional and has been verified by major agencies like the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Honestly, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it myself.
Same here! I heard about her from a colleague at work, and I’m from the UK, by the way. Melissa is incredibly skilled, and what I love is that she’s honest and transparent. It’s not some quick schemes you see everywhere, she really educates you along the way. I’m seeing consistent returns every month. I’m so grateful!
G’day from Sydney! I can’t thank Melissa enough, she has such a good grasp of the markets and knows exactly when to move. I was drowning in debt, but now I’m living comfortably and my portfolio’s been doing really well over the past year thanks to her advice. She’s got a proven strategy, and it’s backed by multiple agencies like Forbes , the International Blockchain Association, Wall Street Financial Insights and even ASIC has also endorsed her expertise. The woman is verified!
SERIOUSLY Streaming is a downgrade from Tv. Cable was cheaper and got better quality. Now streaming even got adds.... As always, venture capital attracted us, kills the competition and now comes the shitification...
Nobody wants to pay $30-$100 (food) to see 95% of the movies released. That's actors literally going (oh this is how we always did it). Netflix needs to stick to its guns on that.
I do. Lots of people do. Would I prefer to pay less for the food? Yes, but that's manageable in various ways. It's not that I don't want to see every film in the cinema, it's that it's mildly impractial. Netflix would make more money on it's big films if they had a theatre showing. So YOU wouldn't go, but you don't go to the cinema anyway. The assumption that other people aren't going, is bonkers. Of course they are, that's why cinemas still exist. The Netflix muppet is just like the Warner Bros one, he does not understand his audience at all.
@@jonevansauthor lol no they wouldn't. They would have to share the profits with the theaters. Plus the whole draw to Netflix is you can't get their original content anywhere else (most of it). Once they start putting their content other places it will devalue the sub. That being said if what you said was true why do some many films bomb at the box office but fine life on streaming services? Most people will fire up a movie they know nothing about or even heard that it's bad if it's part of their sub. Put $20-30 just to see the movie per person plus food on that and people are a lot more picky. 95% that release in a give year don't have that kind of drawn and you know it's true. Just because YOU like to do something doesn't mean that's the take of the majority. You are just the exception not the rule.
Paying for TV is so lame when I can just save money and pirate it. And besides most of the content on these streaming services absolutely sucks! Not to mention they cancel all the good shows after 1 season
not really as paying for tv shows helps fund more of it. where pirating them means the tv shows you enjoy probably wont happen again due to lack of money. obviously that is based on enough people pirating that is
I feel like being blatant about pirating stuff is lame and toxic. Ofc the companies are nickel and diming users and show-/filmmakers, but even then they are making some of the cash flow. No pirate should boast about the act - either to avoid getting locked on by the companies/authorities, to avoid their pirate avenue getting nuked or just because pirating is giving no revenue to makers, and boasting is humiliating them.
@@cyberrb25 dude they're not gonna specifically target me just because I pirate content. There's hundreds of millions just like me that do the same thing, you really think these companies have the might to track us all down and lock us up? They're gonna target the pirate sites that illegally distribute the content, and even then they'll never win
Thanks for video TLDR, but this time it kinda sounds like talking about imagined problem. Maybe I do not see the obvious black hole, but maybe You are trying to tell me, that the sun will SOMEDAY IN THE DISTANT FUTURE turn into a black hole.
If we put emotion and political teams aside and use our brains, look at the actual financial statistic, reports and majority of audience feedback, we would see a trend here. Most people, at least the ones with jobs and the income to regularly purchase movies, games and subscriptions to shows, aren't happy with the current market offerings. The focus has been to add as much inclusion, modern politics, and virtue signaling into media as they can. At the expense of story, character development and meeting fan expectation. They have moved away from giving their paying customers the entertainment they want, and moved into lecturing them. Look at Joker 1 vs Joker 2, or most of the major game launches this year (dust born, Unknown 9, Concord, etc.). The customer majority is always right, even when they aren't, because they vote with their wallet.
I find their shows and documentaries pretty glib. Don’t have NF. Was offered it for free. No thanks. Too much nostalgia mining and tropes. Lots of freak shows (think early tLc)
"Hello sir Your videos and skills are very awesome. Hi there, I'm Adarsh, social media manager. I handle social media for clients, posting on Instagram, Facebook, etc. If you need any service related to this or script writing, website devloper etc. feel free to message!

I'm sorry, I'm with Netflix on this one. Streaming has provided many film makers & production companies outside of America an opportunity to get their content across a global audience for less. Theatrical releases are just not cheap and are not an option for the vast majority of small studios, I really pray Netflix survives.
You do realize what age we are living in. It not going anywhere streaming is here to stay.
Film makers dont need netflix for global reach, just the internet.
@@Shane-tt9cethe internet is too saturated with content for most to care.
@@yansakuya1 what do you think Netflix is? It *is* on the internet. This is nonsense.
Netflix could easily show small films, and global content, and indeed, legally have to do so (which is why they do it) as lots of countries require local content to be made and shown, so they may as well show Hindi films in the UK and make the content because they want to have subscribers in India. This doesn't have any impact on the fact that if they make a $100 million dollar film, that's clearly for the cinema, they should just do a theatrical release. That costs them nothing because it's a profit making enterprise. That's like saying Mars should make Mars Bars because it costs them money... yes... but we pay them for them, so they make a profit!
Netflix clearly had to shift their focus from their origins as a movie service for film fans to a mainstream, lowest common denominator commercial tv streaming station to keep the numbers growing. It worked financially, but the brand certainly took a hit. Netflix series and films were events for a few years. Now "Netflix movie" is a derogatory term for a mediocre action movie, sort of what CannonGlobus was in the 80s.
Meanwhile Tubi continues at #2 streaming service free with ads and now has original offerings
Adding a member to your account,no more sharing an account,only monthly plans instead of 6 or 12 months with a discount.Not allowing shows the time to find an audience,because of all this nonsense i cancelled after 7 years.
I do not understand what kind of people watching Netflix, i was persuaded to get Netflix some months ago but cancelled it again, the whole Netflix is filled with garbage
apparently person who likes garbage
@@김모치-z1h - yes? But how bad are those other streaming services then?
It was tons and tons of series with an obviously thin story and filled with "sassy" women doing "cool stuff"
And if most of what they produce are material cancelled after 1 or 2 seasons I think not just me are disappointed
It used to be genuinely good, but it's spent a decade stripping itself of quality while it raises its prices. You very much chose the worst time to try it out 😅
@@RyanDB - I think you are right, for some reason our cable-tv supplier contacted everyone and told us they should call us, several times we where told they should call us, I do not know why, and one day a guy actually called me, for no apparent reason, but we where talking and I complained a little about the tv-channels, "try Netflix" he replied, "ok" I said, think I had it for a couple of months
So what the hell do you want to watch? 😂
Maybe in the USA but Netflix bundles are everywhere in Australia. Mobile phone, broadband and electricity companies all have Netflix bundles
Talk about how they removed chrome casting with ad support. I will never go back to them with out casting on ad level.
I do wonder what massive investment Netflix is throwing at outside of hollywood studios are for awhile now. They recently shutdown their gaming division (let's be real here, it was bound to happen if it only specialized in mobile games) but their investment in the anime genre is thriving that they are able to release a lot of new anime series exclusively available in their platform and not everyone in the anime streaming platform can easily do the pace Netflix is doing.
I do think they are more focused in filling their catalogue with a lot of regional shows for now. Here in the Philippines, they were able to swoop in and purchase the streaming rights of a lot popular Filipino shows and movies in the 2010s and capitalize on it to produce an original regional series like Trese for example.
One thing for sure is, studios outside of Hollywood is cheaper to fund and the years of experience Netflix has under their belt in doing so will be beneficial for them for awhile.
Netflix’s failure with the games was how they handled it! If they would have kept the games available for anyone to get, (other than subscribers), the ad revenue would have been up there!
@@GNewcomb-q9v Sadly, that doesn't how Netflix operate. They have been bleeding cash for a long time and the game studio is treated more experimental rather than a massive investment. I bet they knew what they were getting in if they actually went out there and acquired some IPs before making original games.
I love all the people in comments and on Twitter that are armchair analyst going "People will never fall for the password sharing crackdown" or "They have the worst content no one will ever want them" and yet the continue to crush the competition, even Disney. You think eventually people would realize they and their hot takes are dumb lol
From a business point of view, they're doing really well. But as a customer, it's been years since Netflix showed me anything worthwhile. They seem to be leaning into cheaper soap-operas and true crime documentaries, at the expense of high concept shows such as Stranger Things.
Paying for having adds is just non-sense.
I just cancelled amazon prime. it also means i'm a lot less likely to impulse buy, so a win-win.
You are paying but you will get an ads??? WTF?!
You mean like how it is with TV? You get what you paid for.
If the amount you paid was enough to cover the costs, they'll probably not bother with ads. But as it stands, it isn't, as most streaming services are losing money while netflix is barely profitable but with debt that's orders of magnitude larger than any annual profit they've ever made.
The main reason many people think it's wrong to pay money & have ads is because netflix created that taste/culture, but it was the only way for cable & satellite TV companies to survive (yes, they too were barely profitable), until netflix came in & acted like it was a taboo. Even then I thought it was fishy, as cable would give you tons of channels for $100+/month at the time with ads, yet Netflix would give you tons of movies & shows (which is what most viewers watched more on TV than any other content besides sports) for $8/month & no ads! It didn't seem sustainable & it wasn't. They were in debt of $20B before they even started making $20B in revenue, as they needed funds to make content. Now it has caught up to them which is why password sharing, a return to the sanity of subscription subsidisation via ads & inevitable price increases have been embraced by them recently.
7:39 Where's that Bojack scene from. I don't remember it in the series?
I think it's the end of the Season 6 trailer. The context is he's writing a letter to Diane from rehab, so the words are showing on the screen.
Last month I had Amazon Prime and didn't even watch any shows as such garbage
Then why did you bought the subscription in the first place?
I tried out their free trial and wasn't impressed either. You still have to pay for some stuff even if you have Prime Video.
That's just no true. There's plenty of good shows on there. It's literally impossible that you enjoy film and TV and they had nothing you would have enjoyed. It is possible you've seen some of it before, but they also have plenty of original content that's exclusive. Now, if you said you didn't know what shows you'd want to watch on there, and couldn't find them because the search engine is a cluttered mess and lots of what it shows you is stuff you have to rent for more money, sure, I'd agree. But it's like saying you went to the National Gallery and there were no good pictures there.
Please sort your sound quality out. Vocals are soft and sound effects are louder
Netflix looked shaky a few years ago because they were green-lighting garbage and producing terrible shows. The question was whether they would be able to become the equivalent of the old movie studios and produce compelling content. After some teething troubles it seems like they have mastered that problem, and if they can entertain, nothing else matters.
Dammit. Should have bought some stock.
6:26 Man we really did just turn streaming into the new TV didn't we? God damn it
Which is why I don't click or buy anything from any ads being offered by anyone no matter what, I will never support this new poison, so these companies can waste away their money for all I care.
Ohh I also don't subscribe to creators who begs me to subscribe and like their video within 30 seconds of the video, when a simple written notification during the video would have been better and less annoying, plus is it really necessary to ask repeatedly on every video? Repetitive annoyance = no growth.
Now, where were we? Oh Netflix, Screw them.
Well if they have money now then everything should be fine in the long run. I work for an Swedish investor of German descent who works for Aktia bank in Finland and we are going to do loads of movie and TV series projects we are looking to partner up with Netflix.
I haven't forgiven Netflix for cancelling Mindhunter.
I don’t want to learn anything new. Ever.
Unless I missed it you are overlooking an important factor. Netflix is moving into live tv. They have trialed this with some sport events and starting next year will be taking over WWE broadcasting with some minor exceptions. This will be their first majour worldwide test into live tv.
Sail the high seas 🏴☠️
Hear me out - TV shows released in cinema 👀
They should absolutely do this in the mornings when cinemas don't bother to open. Give people a morning ticket, and you can watch the big Stranger Things show for a cheap price in the smaller screens.
@@jonevansauthor or even during night times, so many people will want to watch Stranger Things final season on a massive screen with amazing audio. I think it can become a cultural thing, cinemas are drying, movies aren't bringing in enough anymore, a lot of movies are just remakes and aren't that great. TV shows can help keep cinemas afloat especially if big companies partner with certain chains.
Acknowledgement that you got it wrong before suggests to me, you've got it wrong again. Especially since you've doubled down around predicting Netflix's downfall once again.
It's almost like you've developed a cost fallacy around the issue.
Believe me this time.
The fact that WWE will be on Netflix from Jan’24 was a big shock.
We are filing a multi-million dollar class action lawsuit against Netflix tomorrow
If I can’t own I’m not buying
7:02 may well be what?
I dont think Netflix has done things right. The thing is they had a dominant position and all the other streaming platforms have horrible pricing, content and apps. Even worse than Netflix. So not the same thing.
I found it really funny the CEO of Netflix thought bundling was "old media", when streaming sites are actually going back to what old canle was.
5:37 not easy… BUT, they should find new talent to do film.
You forgot to mention something very important movies can make lots of money in theaters.
Spending lots of money on a movie only to dump it on a streaming platform makes no money.
With the ad tier that's not true anymore but the theater would allow them to double dip to make more money.
Also, some movie makers are big into the theater experience. The last Maverick movie was specifically held back by Cruise until after Covid so it could be experienced on the big screen with a super sound system.
@@E3ECO Tom Cruise would have gotten a percentage of the profits so it's more likely he wanted the money then he really cared about the experience. That goes with all the others who say they care the theater experience they really just want to protect the millions they'll make.
@@mightheal that is the most ignorant thing I've read today. You really think Tom Cruise isn't a massive fan of the cinema experience? What does he have to do to persuade you? I care about the theatre experience as a cinema goer. I care. I'm a customer. I'm not the only one. It's better watching big films in the cinema. It's social. Why go to an actual theatre to see a live performance of Henry V? Why go to a garden when you can look at pictures? Why eat good food when microwave meals exist?
@@jonevansauthor You're a customer paying of course you're supposed to care...
But ignoring Tom's $100+ million that he made is more ignorant.
Isn't it sad that all of the top 10 shows for minutes watched are somewhat or complete crap (except Bluey)?
Rather have HBO then NFLX
Everyone should watch Arcane. Even if you don't like anime. If you like art go watch the first season (just in time for the second season)
Crap show
Someone should start a business where you can rent out physical copies of blockbusters for a one-off fee and undermine Netflix
You shouldn’t make content around subject matter you haven’t got a clue about.
Netflix has massive untapped pricing power that they haven’t yet unleashed
Are you paid by Netflix? This all sounds like an advertisement for shareholders, what a great investment-opportunity they are.
Netflix has always been a good investment for the past few years and then everyone only suddenly realized this in the past few months.
Really annoying how ads are returning. I dont watch ads at all. But theg just keep raising prices to avoid it.
It's why I only subscribe to one or two services at a time. Once I'm done with them, I move on.

I think this video is a rare miss for tldr, poor analysis and interpretation of the market.
Woke and bad content, expensive
Please get a brain and stop listening to trump calling everything woke
You couldn't be more right, its all woke DEI hired writers and directors. They care more about pushing a message then making a good show. If anyone disagrees with you, you know they are blue haired, orange man bad people living on welfare, while thinking communism is a great idea.
@@squirrel9760 Wow, great response, you really showed them. You didn't have any proof against all the race baiting, gender swapping, "modern audience" created, alphabet based stuff being made today that is failing to connect with non-woke, intelligent audience members. But hey, keep screaming into the wind, it sure seems to be helping these companies financially succeed.

I'm not going to say too much to not give away my position, but it feels great to be grandfathered.
I want to thank the Lord Jesus Christ for hearing and answering my prayers, thank You, Lord! May the Holy Spirit continue to guide us in sharing Your unconditional love. On another note, trusting the process really does bring great rewards. Working with Melissa Jonas Richard has positively impacted my financial journey, and her advice has helped me grow. If you’re considering a change, don’t hesitate and stay disciplined it could be just the opportunity you’ve been looking for!
Oh my goodness, I’m so happy to hear that! Melissa is amazing. I was skeptical at first, but her approach to investments is next level. I started small, but now my portfolio is way better than I ever imagined. She’s really professional and has been verified by major agencies like the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Honestly, I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t experienced it myself.
Same here! I heard about her from a colleague at work, and I’m from the UK, by the way. Melissa is incredibly skilled, and what I love is that she’s honest and transparent. It’s not some quick schemes you see everywhere, she really educates you along the way. I’m seeing consistent returns every month. I’m so grateful!
I started working with her six months ago, and now I’ve seen a 60% return on my investments. The FINRA has also confirmed her credentials.
G’day from Sydney! I can’t thank Melissa enough, she has such a good grasp of the markets and knows exactly when to move. I was drowning in debt, but now I’m living comfortably and my portfolio’s been doing really well over the past year thanks to her advice. She’s got a proven strategy, and it’s backed by multiple agencies like Forbes , the International Blockchain Association, Wall Street Financial Insights and even ASIC has also endorsed her expertise. The woman is verified!
Wow, what a coincidence, I’ve been hearing about her from different people. Who exactly is this Melissa Jonas Richard?
hahahaha what a coincidence..jsut did a question today about Netflix's performance at business class 😂😭
Netflix sucks
SERIOUSLY
Streaming is a downgrade from Tv.
Cable was cheaper and got better quality.
Now streaming even got adds....
As always, venture capital attracted us, kills the competition and now comes the shitification...
Enshitification
Nobody wants to pay $30-$100 (food) to see 95% of the movies released. That's actors literally going (oh this is how we always did it). Netflix needs to stick to its guns on that.
I do. Lots of people do. Would I prefer to pay less for the food? Yes, but that's manageable in various ways. It's not that I don't want to see every film in the cinema, it's that it's mildly impractial. Netflix would make more money on it's big films if they had a theatre showing. So YOU wouldn't go, but you don't go to the cinema anyway. The assumption that other people aren't going, is bonkers. Of course they are, that's why cinemas still exist. The Netflix muppet is just like the Warner Bros one, he does not understand his audience at all.
@@jonevansauthor lol no they wouldn't. They would have to share the profits with the theaters. Plus the whole draw to Netflix is you can't get their original content anywhere else (most of it). Once they start putting their content other places it will devalue the sub.
That being said if what you said was true why do some many films bomb at the box office but fine life on streaming services? Most people will fire up a movie they know nothing about or even heard that it's bad if it's part of their sub. Put $20-30 just to see the movie per person plus food on that and people are a lot more picky. 95% that release in a give year don't have that kind of drawn and you know it's true.
Just because YOU like to do something doesn't mean that's the take of the majority. You are just the exception not the rule.

Paying for TV is so lame when I can just save money and pirate it. And besides most of the content on these streaming services absolutely sucks! Not to mention they cancel all the good shows after 1 season
not really as paying for tv shows helps fund more of it. where pirating them means the tv shows you enjoy probably wont happen again due to lack of money. obviously that is based on enough people pirating that is

@@anthonymacgregor9790 you make a good point there tbf. But it feels so rebellious to pirate
I feel like being blatant about pirating stuff is lame and toxic. Ofc the companies are nickel and diming users and show-/filmmakers, but even then they are making some of the cash flow.
No pirate should boast about the act - either to avoid getting locked on by the companies/authorities, to avoid their pirate avenue getting nuked or just because pirating is giving no revenue to makers, and boasting is humiliating them.
@@cyberrb25 dude they're not gonna specifically target me just because I pirate content. There's hundreds of millions just like me that do the same thing, you really think these companies have the might to track us all down and lock us up? They're gonna target the pirate sites that illegally distribute the content, and even then they'll never win
I will never watch adds 🤮🤮🤮🤮
Also I don’t care to go to the theater
I have Netflix Disney crunchy roll TH-cam premium.

Thanks for video TLDR, but this time it kinda sounds like talking about imagined problem. Maybe I do not see the obvious black hole, but maybe You are trying to tell me, that the sun will SOMEDAY IN THE DISTANT FUTURE turn into a black hole.
If we put emotion and political teams aside and use our brains, look at the actual financial statistic, reports and majority of audience feedback, we would see a trend here. Most people, at least the ones with jobs and the income to regularly purchase movies, games and subscriptions to shows, aren't happy with the current market offerings. The focus has been to add as much inclusion, modern politics, and virtue signaling into media as they can. At the expense of story, character development and meeting fan expectation. They have moved away from giving their paying customers the entertainment they want, and moved into lecturing them. Look at Joker 1 vs Joker 2, or most of the major game launches this year (dust born, Unknown 9, Concord, etc.). The customer majority is always right, even when they aren't, because they vote with their wallet.
Netflix should just buy AMC and take the 50% cut of theatrical release.
The only impact I'm getting out of a theatrical release is my nerves burning off from irritation from all the people who cannot stfu during a movie.
Netflix is the absolute winner of the streaming wars. I don’t think anyone will be able to overtake them at any time
They cold stop making gay kids programs….
I find their shows and documentaries pretty glib. Don’t have NF. Was offered it for free. No thanks. Too much nostalgia mining and tropes. Lots of freak shows (think early tLc)
Why is Netflix winning which we should all cancel Netflix next year
Actually Netflix is bundled for higher prices in india companies like jio,Airtel,vi,tataplay etc
