    Doubt that. Everyone I know canceled Netflix. Family, Friends, co-workers. Top of my head that is about 40 people I personally know. Not to mention the quality of their content went down badly the last 4 years. So wondering who actually signed up?

      I believe they aren't lying .... they almost certainly did add subscribers. They would be liable under various securities laws if they lied.
      However, what I expect is that they lost VIEWERS.
      I am sure Netflix is gaming the numbers to make themselves look good - but I think they are in trouble based on the moves they are making.

      @@unknownuser069 your right. But they did loose more then they added, especially from last year. Password sharing is what gave them they one up o every one else. Could share with your mother in a different household or your kids in varsity. Having ad free content was another one up. Then all that went away and they were nothing better the cable. On top of that their content compared to 2018-2019 is just not that good anymore. Apple on the other ti's rocking it.

    Netflix could be fantastic, if only they would start this new age trend, where viewers want to watch a season two(tm). But Netflix is like, nope the show is good, viewer numbers are okay, but not extraordinary. Why should they listen to fans or care about them. According to Netflix, we are all daft and too stupid to comprehend the narrative anyway.

  • @unknownuser069

    I think Netflix is in deep trouble.
    Adding just 13 million subscribers at the cost of such a draconian policy change is disappointing. This actually means a huge net loss in viewership.
    I think the WWE move is also a sign of desperation: grab anything when you're drowning.
    Netflix needs to make deeper changes if it wants to survive and grow.
    They need to put their customers and the long term value of their content library first ... and stop trying to nickel and dime us.

      I guess what seems obvious to me is not as obvious for you.
      They got 13 million new subscribers by kicking tens, possibly hundreds of millions of family members and SO's off the accounts they were sharing.
      Of course the business people at Netflix probably see this as a net win - they serve less and still have more payments.
      Thing is ... they have advertisers to satisfy now, and they will want viewership numbers - something Netflix has tried to keep close.

      Agreed.
      I think Netflix would do itself significant favors if it simply guaranteed that EVERY series it controls rights for has a conclusion. You have a show that is well reviewed, but isn't doing numbers so you want to cancel? Great... make a short movie so it has a conclusion.
      That way in twenty years if it takes off as a cult classic for some reason - say one of the actors becomes a megastar - you have a COMPLETE offering.
      But ... they don't pay me to analyze their problems either.
      They probably should though, lol
