Hot take: we don’t need any new content on these streaming services for at least another 5 years if not longer.

This makes me glad I avoid Netflix like the plague.

“Won” is a real stretch here. The article devotes half a paragraph to their shows, let’s outline them,

Stranger Things

Amazing show, hasn’t had a season in years. Sure we’re getting the final season this year, but that’s a one month subscription after multi year wait.

Wednesday

A good show. You’d probably get me to subscribe for a month for this.

Squid Game

I’ll admit I’m in the minority who didn’t see this, but I heard lukewarm reviews for season 2, so I don’t think season 3, if it exists, will pull anyone in.

The Night Agent

I’ve never heard of this. Maybe it’s good but it isn’t bringing in subscribers.

Paul / Tyson fight

Who cares, garbage.

Tom Brady roast

Who cares, garbage.

NFL games

For specific audiences, not me.

WWE’s Monday Night Raw,

For specific audiences, not me.

massive library of reality shows, cooking competitions, and the other filler TV

And that right there is why I consider Netflix in last place.

Netflix has a few “prestige” shows, but most of them have already ended or are ending soon. Perhaps the list will keep existing subscribers, which is good, but it isn’t going to bring in anyone new, at least not long term.

Yeah bruh, i ain’t paying shit.

What? Netflix “won”? Won what?

I watch stuff on Netflix for exactly 3 months this year, then canceled it. May/may not do it again next year, we’ll see.

Today my only streaming is Amazon, because they have a far greater breadth of shows than Netflix, by a long shot. And when Amazon exposes me to a new show that I’d like to keep, I go get my own copy for my media server.
