Good thing they’re raising prices again!
Yeah, sixth place among companies named “Netflix”.
Good. I still hate how Netflix doesn’t bother to buy the final season of Snowrunner. I guess it’s not important to them if Netflix USA didn’t have the show to begin with. Or The OA, or 1899, or altered carbon. As consumer I don’t care if it’s Netflix original or not, I pay for it and you lured me in with it, so it’s their responsibility to deliver season finals. Well anyways since they stopped account sharing we cancelled anyways, as it was just a flat price increase for no gain.
Huh well why aren’t people just canceling their subscription? I heard that after Password crackdown happened, subscriptions went up. If people aren’t satisfied with Netflix, there are tons of options now. Not that we want that many.
Who says people aren’t satisfied? I know, a lot of people on the internet complain about the password thing, but in real life I hear from a lot of people that it was fun while it lasted, but they’ll just have to get their own account now.
I know my netflix cancellation went toward a fast usenet account. When netflix first came out, it was great and I stopped my own piracy because it was easy, convenient, and affordable to use. Then other streaming services came out and it was still convenient and I paid for those. Then they started increasing the rates, decreasing the amount of content and making the service less accessible. Well thanks guys, you drove me back to piracy as it is now easier and cheaper to get content from a usenet server than for legitimately paying for it.
Doing a little digging showed that subscriptions went up in cheaper developing markets. It was spin/pr.
I think it’s one of those we are only giving you one statistic to make it look favorable things. As a whole at least in the US Netflix revenue went down by 2 or 3 million from the previous year. Their number of accounts is going up, but if you look at where, it is in developing countries in Africa.
I just pirate everything. Works for me.
not everyone can do that
can =/= won’t
Not everyone is tech savvy enough to pirate without getting trouble from their ISP.
They ruined my favorite show on Netflix by taking out Henry Cavil. So when they stopped account sharing I decided to not get an account and just stick with Hulu.
Might get rid of all the TV’s out of the house anyway. Screw em all.
It’s the second time Henry Cavil has been perfectly cast for what was supposed to be a long running role and he didn’t stick around. You’ve got to wonder if these people just don’t understand what they have. And with Superman they literally just didn’t offer the role again when they decided to reboot the movies (yet again).
I grew up with Christopher Reeves as Superman and I still think Cavill is the best Superman to ever be cast
They didn’t take him out, he quit because the writers were butchering the story
That is a grey area for me, mostly because of the statements made by the showrunners after his departure. When someone leaves a project they love dearly and promoted heavily and personally drove from the fan side of things, it makes me wonder whether it was an actual leaving or if they paid him handsomely to say he’s leaving and to not badmouth the show in XYZ words or format.
That is possible, but that’s also the type of person that would be most likely to leave a project because of creative differences.
Plus saying the writers were butchering the story isn’t exactly a way for him to exit without making the show look bad. For hardcore fans, that’s a sign that it might be better to just skip it or wait for reviews or pirate it specifically to avoid giving the makers money.
Lots of companies lately just foot to the floor with enshitification
