@@financegardennetflix made me mad today, I have an account but they wont let me watch my app on my phone at work without selecting that Im traveling.

And if the newer generation keeps supporting streaming, those blu rays are gonna be hard to come by However, it looks like physical media might get its resurgence because streaming is even worse now even five months after this video been made it’s worse than their stating it is
Well technically were not downloading, were just streaming it on a site thats not supposed to have it. So we dont really have it. So legally Im not sure if there even is a law that covers that from the consumers side. 😂
@@thelittleone1025 Hey I’m just using their own logic. Selling implies ownership. If nobody can own Netflix content, then they aren’t actually selling it, and therefore aren’t entitled to the same legal protections of private sales, like piracy claims.
You're still a dirty thief. Acting like greedy companies are awful so you can be awful, too, is pure m.tl gymnastics. How about you just get stuff that's legally free already?
I'm on my second streaming service, which as it happens, is Netflix. Once I can't find stuff I want to watch, I'll be gone. Yet they don't exactly make it easy for me to find programs, because they persist in suggesting things I've already watched, and which I'm sure they know that I've already watched. I find it hard to believe that that strategy makes any kind of commercial sense. A few people with dementia might be willing to watch the same things over and over, but surely most viewers will realise, with annoyance, that the've seen something before, and immediately bail on it.
What a terrible argument. Based on your theory, everyone should either not buy physical media or sell it as soon as they've watched it a single time. People like rewatching the same shows and movies they've seen before.
Canceled prime today. Just not worth it now that ads are 3 days away. Have never seen anything delivered in a day. Can shove the gaming and music. Shipping and prime vids is what kept me on the fence. Ads pushed me over. Was nice while it lasted. Going back to pirating and cable. Can ff through commercials with the dvr. Be well....
@@financegarden 8, only because the same ones are repeated. But not everyone watches TV or the like at the same exact time. So I understand the reason for repitition.
You do read financial statements correct? How Disney has had a 67% controlling interest in Hulu since 2019. And because Comcast cannot do anything on the platform they finally decided to sell their 33% to Disney.
Yes I will buy audio and video CDs and DVDs from those 100 year old stores in Calcutta, India where I live. One of these stores is now selling cheap cookware. Sad to see.
I’ve already canceled all my streaming services other than RUclips. Im tired of so many services and not know what shows are on which service and if they removed content or not. And now they are adding ads. Edit: must have been wasted when typing this.
lol. Do you buy one ticket to a movie theater and bring 20 of your friends/family in for free? The gall to believe you're entitled to have lots of people using the same account simultaneously for free is hilarious.
@@encycl07pedia- Gall?!? My frustration and many others is reasonable and valid. When something has been a certain way since its inception and works great for everybody and then a company changes it out of greed… yea I’m gonna be ticked off.
I have little issue with the current iteration. I watch one for a few months then cancel and move to another platform. I don't watch much that's in active production so I just wear out a catalog and move on. When it was just Netflix, if they didn't have it, you didn't get to see it. Use their greed against them. They splintered this market for their own gains, make sure they also feel the losses.
I'm hoping they go back to physical media like DVDs and there is a way to get it back but you're not going to like it there needs to be protests in front of every single entertainment Industries headquarters like never before make them force their hand
I was a cable kid in Australia and it had everything. It had pretty much every sport, most news channels etc. streaming and bidding wars saw all my favourite channels slowly disappear. All the sports now exist each on different streaming services. It’s much more expensive now to buy each service just to get all the sports I used to have, and it’s so confusing
In Britain in the 1950’s 60’s, cinemas were tied to a particular chain with its own films. The govt had to step in to break these monopolies, meaning cinemas eventually were able to become multiplexes, running multiple films on multiple screens. Streaming your own stuff inevitably means you run out of product after people have watched the films they wanted to watch. Also because material goes in and off streaming, it means favourite films aren’t guaranteed to stay on the platform you’ve subscribed to. Much better to have your favourite productions on your own media ( Blu rays DVD, digital files etc). Also many streamers now cut material out of films to attract a wider audience so they can go get a more general classification. Streaming serves the masses but the days of signing up to multiple sites so you can watch a few favourite films to find they have been censored is not the way I wish to view this material. And now we have ads as well, !!!
One person watches live TV in our house, and they are an elder. If I had a choice, I would dump satellite TV in a heartbeat. All the networks are charging WAY to much for there content (oh wait, not content, more commercials than content). Right now, I'm considering streaming, and may lean that way soon. Dish, DirectTV, and cable, are dinosaurs and will eventually go out of business with there ever increasing prices. No way should TV be $150+, when half of the stuff (on every channel) is nothing but advertisements.
It wont die with me, I stopped watching cable years ago. I have a t.v in my home, but never turn it on. I mostly watch RUclips, Crunchyroll and Netflix on it, and some other platforms. See the thing is I like watching whatever i want and not depend on programmed channels on regular T.V. And to be honest t.v back then was better. Shows i used to watch are classics now, but i just dont like their new shows or cartoons (i dislike the artstyle).
I had Netflix, until every other movie was about demons! While Hulu in the states had a big library of Christian movies, Netflix had none. Just demons. I gave it up.
Used to be if you wanted to watch a movie from Paramount Studios, you HAD to go to a Paramount movie theater. Congress put a stop to that in 1950, to the great benefit of moviegoers. I think we need that same solution for streaming. Congress should divest Content Owners from Content Distributors. You can be one or the other, but not both. Netflix Films would be legally, administratively and financially separated from the Netflix Streaming service. Thus, Stranger Things would have to be available to ANY streaming service that wanted it, and all comers would pay the same price to get it.
Psysical media games, music, movies are much better, besides you can collect your favorite movies, you can watch any time you want without paying every month, only you need to pay the is electricity⚡. Thats one of the advantages of psysical media you can watch next month and even next year.
i love this and knew this was going to happen many i mean many let there dvds and now are sorry they did i saw this coming for some time now ........i have all my dvds i didnt fall for the .......streaming is the way to go .........i was no fool
The thing about it for me (completely my personal experience I'm not even factoring in a lot of this other stuff people talk about) is that with streaming you would think having that much freedom would be a good thing. You can watch whatever you want whenever you want, how could that be a bad thing right? But for me it has ruined the entire experience. Not to say it's not still great to have that option there when actually needed if Im thinking ya know maybe I just really wanna watch this particular movie right now it's still good to be able to do that. But I much prefer the scheduled variety experience and seeing promos for upcoming things, along with having things be on at a certain set time that you have to be there at that time to see. This creates a sense of anticipation for the thing coming on later that you want to see and the delayed gratification of it making you appreciate the experience more. You get to get excited about it and look forward to it instead of blindly just clicking on something and watching it. You are also locked into watching a particular episode which for a sitcom type of show is great just having a completely random episode out of your control. And while actually watching it you feel more inclined to actually watch it because it's on right now and you can't just go back and you don't know when it will be on again so you lock in and enjoy it while you can rather than getting stuck in the mentality of "well i can watch it literally any time I dont need to pay attention" going back to cable i find myself less inclined to get lost in my phone while watching something knowing that what i miss I can't just rewind and i cant just watch the movie again in an hour when i feel like it. I might like a certain show, but with the immense freedom of a streaming platform I can watch it any time I want and it takes away a lot from the experience for me. I start thinking to myself "do I even actually wanna watch it? What about all these other shows I can be watching? What episode do I wanna watch? Maybe I wanna watch this other show a tiny bit more?" Meanwhile on a cable TV type of experience with those same 2 shows, maybe the initial one you were thinking of is on currently, I see the show is on and I'm like yeah sure I like that show and it happens to be on lets watch it. And it's that simple. It eliminates a lot of the internal and maybe even subconscious decision making you have to go through on streaming. And then that 2nd show you might have been thinking you wanna watch more than the other one, well guess what, that's on after a couple episodes of the first show. Now you can just go ahead and sit back enjoying the first show while simultaneously letting anticipation for the other show build. All of this together creates a whole different feeling of appreciation for what you are watching rather than just mindlessly putting some show on and falling into bingeing or trying to artificially recreate the feeling by manually switching the shows. Taking away that power of having the choice any time you want to just switch off a show and go to a different one makes you appreciate what's currently on and what's going to be on later so much more. If a movie happens to be on a streaming service, I'm like cool I like that movie, now let's keep putting it off for weeks cause I can watch it whenever I want. But on a cable experience, that movie in on and it's like this special event you get to be part of. It's on NOW and if I wanna watch it I'm pushed to watch it NOW or not at all and I'm more inclined to be engaged in the experience.
I have convert from streaming to watching 4K disc now. I own the movies I will rewatch many times, rent others for test watch. I save more money on physical media than spending so much money in streaming and not able to find movies I love to watch even though there are hundreds of shows in the platform.
@@financegarden Hopping is a way to save money by dropping and adding services frequently. Instead of paying for services A, B, and C every month for a year, you do something different. You pay for service A for three months, cancel for a few months, and then pay for another three months. In an average month, you may be paying for service A and C or B and C but almost never pay for all three services in the same month.
Most of my content I watch is RUclips related. Streaming I will watch here and there, subscribing as I need and cancelling immediately so I don't auto renew. I have all my DVD's ripped to my JellyFin server so really, if I don't ever subscribe again my kids and family can watch content on my local server.
Streaming will be a bust. CEO compensation is mostly based on stock price. Media companies/studios saw the ever ending increase in NetFlix stock prices wanted to do the same thing. AKA copycat syndrome. Licensing everything to one content provider makes the most economic sense. Think of it as an online Blockbuster model.
The negative impact and minus of streaming movies and music like Spotify. ▶️ it makes you poor ▶️ wasting your money every month. ▶️ you must pay the wifi every month. ▶️you must pay the subscription services everymonth even you watch it or not. ▶️ if the internet has bad signals or without wifi you can't watch streaming. ▶️ the difference of Psysical media movies is that, sometimes they launch special edition / deluxe edition for blueray and DVDs for collectors,which means there add bonus scenes like PG-13 that they don't show you Streaming or in the movie theater. ▶️ you will own nothing.
I mean streaming isnt so bad. Apple tv is churning out some amazing stuff right now. NF is awful bc they dont have money and dont release anything good anymore. All they can afford is outsourced foreign stuff, crime docs and standup
Netflix Hulu, and Amazon always has crappie content and you pay for ad free content and still have to see ads I'll just watch old shows from some pirate sites for free
in the beginning government and greed made competition impossible and the big cable companies that Monopolized the market begin to give worse service, show less and charge outrageous prices. Netflix became big , and because what’s spoke of above - combined with a bunch of woke horrible movies and series along with advertisements . Now you can’t just at many to use any of these services, more over with all these services combined - you might find one thing a week to half a month worth watching .
Also I love MAX I’m also just being smart not watching Netflix I’m just waiting till the 100 and some other shows to be on MAX because the company owns the CW is MAX
Most streaming services have no business being in this market. They were all making huge amounts of money licensing content. CBS-Viacom (Paramount) licensed The CW content to Netflix for over a billion dollars, even after it had aired the entire season. When they pulled that content (or just quit making it...also pretty stupid) from Netflix, they had content sitting on a server making zero money. That's not the kind of content that drives subscriber growth. There is one reason they all had to get into streaming...Corporate Greed. A bunch of Wall St types that don't understand the business jumped in head first and are now losing money hand over fist and investor's patience has run out. They have already started licensing content again, but now do it from a position of weakness since they are losing so much money (their own fault too). Netflix is again the big winner here. It isn't going anywhere.
How is streaming a good choice for communities that have bad internet? The internet itself won't allow them them to stream if it's bad quality. Have you ever thought of that before you posted your comment that made an ass out of yourself no you didn't.
Because of there prices and some so stupid there limit to amount profiles can have no Matter amount people live in your home. 2nd lack of true native 4k picture with true 4k audio quality like MAX and Netflix.
isn't Netflix doing better than ever? they are the only consistent profitable streamer out there and they easily have the most subscribers. none of the other streamers even comes close. they aren't going anywhere. although Paramount Plus and Peacock probably have sketchy futures. but as for Netflix, forget it. they won the crown for streaming.

As much as one would think that cable should die we need cable to balance out streaming when you have streaming services along the line as Paramount Plus that is raising their prices for a third time in less than a year. Year after year, the streaming services uses the same excuse that they need money to make the content or something along that line yet, we the customer are not seeing any return or progress in the quality and the quantity of the content when they raise their prices except to line their pockets and see who can be the greediest and do it the fastest.
Its the viewers fault; they should be subscribing to every service and pay their fair share for each month. LOL Just messing with you. #BuyPhysicialMedia
@@kevin10001 when China owns controlling interests in Six of the USA movie houses ……. Most everything is Woke . Netflix may not be part of it but their studio made content for the Most part is Very woke.
Just because its too slow to be overtly noticeable doesnt mean its not happening. Look how long it took cable to finally be axed. Some people still even have that....
streaming is good to a point you dont really own the movies and they can pull any film at any time thats the draw back they don want any one to own dvds or records , they need to be making money off of you and me , as for me i have so many dvds and i would never rent , and with adds on here i dont mind that one bit thats ok , but again if you pay for streaming and save movies online that you payed for they have all rights to pull the film its more like this ........Disney let everyone watch there movies and they pull there films and put them in a vault so you cant watch them for years , but the freedom of owning dvds is great and you can watch them and theres ex stuff on the dvds that streaming does not have , and many are finding out that movies that they own are being pulled........many are upset and didnt take that root as many others have done and sold there dvds , again stream is not for serious movie watchers from the past that did grow up watching movies , and there are others who love the renting deal but dont like to own movies that take up space .........if you love streaming thats great if you love buying new or older dvds thats great too , but i see it as far as stream going back wards ..........to the days of HBO and SHOWTIME or MAX if you miss it not telling when it will come on again , i am not fighting or any thing like that just letting you know the movie library of streaming movies may get smaller as time goes buy and dvds will be around for along time like a classic car , stay safe and take care .........streaming or dvds is what many like rent or buy and own its up to you happy movie watching

Taking away that power of having the choice any time you want to just switch off a show and go to a different one makes you appreciate what's currently on and what's going to be on later so much more. If a movie happens to be on a streaming service, I'm like cool I like that movie, now let's keep putting it off for weeks cause I can watch it whenever I want. But on a cable experience, that movie in on and it's like this special event you get to be part of. It's on NOW and if I wanna watch it I'm pushed to watch it NOW or not at all and I'm more inclined to be engaged in the experience.
I have convert from streaming to watching 4K disc now. I own the movies I will rewatch many times, rent others for test watch. I save more money on physical media than spending so much money in streaming and not able to find movies I love to watch even though there are hundreds of shows in the platform.
In my opinion, subscription hopping is the ONLY way to make streaming cheaper than cable.
What's "subscription hopping"?
@@financegarden Hopping is a way to save money by dropping and adding services frequently.
Instead of paying for services A, B, and C every month for a year, you do something different.
You pay for service A for three months, cancel for a few months, and then pay for another three months.
In an average month, you may be paying for service A and C or B and C but almost never pay for all three services in the same month.
I still have all my CD, DVDs and blu-rays from their inceptions.
i have a prime membership, until they're forcing ads into their Video services
how so?
long live the pirate bay
Most of my content I watch is RUclips related. Streaming I will watch here and there, subscribing as I need and cancelling immediately so I don't auto renew. I have all my DVD's ripped to my JellyFin server so really, if I don't ever subscribe again my kids and family can watch content on my local server.
RUclips is amazing! But why not just subscribe longer and watch more ?
@@financegarden I have life outside of tv.
I only have one streaming service Netflix I can't afford all these other streaming services, It's starting to turn into the new cable TV
I wouldn't even have that one.
Streaming will be a bust. CEO compensation is mostly based on stock price. Media companies/studios saw the ever ending increase in NetFlix stock prices wanted to do the same thing. AKA copycat syndrome. Licensing everything to one content provider makes the most economic sense. Think of it as an online Blockbuster model.
Now this is hot perspective. Are you an entrepreneur?
The negative impact and minus of streaming movies and music like Spotify.
▶️ it makes you poor
▶️ wasting your money every month.
▶️ you must pay the wifi every month.
▶️you must pay the subscription services everymonth even you watch it or not.
▶️ if the internet has bad signals or without wifi you can't watch streaming.
▶️ the difference of Psysical media movies is that, sometimes they launch special edition / deluxe edition for blueray and DVDs for collectors,which means there add bonus scenes like PG-13 that they don't show you Streaming or in the movie theater.
▶️ you will own nothing.
I remember when Hulu was free.
Sony did try its hand with the Funimation and now look at the controversy.
I mean streaming isnt so bad. Apple tv is churning out some amazing stuff right now. NF is awful bc they dont have money and dont release anything good anymore. All they can afford is outsourced foreign stuff, crime docs and standup
Great perspective!
They can keep it. I cancelled my dish tv in 2012
the More Expensive Streamers are Dying But For the Most Part Streaming Is alot Cheaper
I've never once paid for a streaming service. It's all garbage with the exceptions of what I already own.
No streaming actually it really just begun
How so? What are we missing we can improve on next video?
prime got to much was not using it with HDR removed this one now gone for me. Still use Netflix , Disney plus , apple and discovery plus in UK.
I think they have HDR still, why not just upgrade for a better service?
streaming is dying and social media and video games is replacing it
How so? Can you please explain why you think videos games is better than watching good TV shows? I don't get it.
@@financegarden vrchat is a video game that is also a social media if you play that you will get what I mean
@@financegarden it is hard to explain in words
Its not
Make your own Plex server
Let’s hope we don’t lose I know I’m over exaggerating a little, but this has been a big part in my teenage years lol
How old are you today?
bring back traditional tv that's what we need to do.
Netflix Hulu, and Amazon always has crappie content and you pay for ad free content and still have to see ads I'll just watch old shows from some pirate sites for free
so... monopoly will help things even though historically a monopoly will increase prices?
Hear this streaming platforms? Listen and learn
in the beginning government and greed made competition impossible and the big cable companies that Monopolized the market begin to give worse service, show less and charge outrageous prices. Netflix became big , and because what’s spoke of above - combined with a bunch of woke horrible movies and series along with advertisements . Now you can’t just at many to use any of these services, more over with all these services combined - you might find one thing a week to half a month worth watching .
Also I love MAX I’m also just being smart not watching Netflix I’m just waiting till the 100 and some other shows to be on MAX because the company owns the CW is MAX
What's "Max" ?
@@financegarden HBO basically it’s Discovery+ the company that owns the CW that has the 100 and riverdale all that
You honestly don't need them....i always go to 123 movies and watch new movies and TV Shows or pluto
Most streaming services have no business being in this market. They were all making huge amounts of money licensing content. CBS-Viacom (Paramount) licensed The CW content to Netflix for over a billion dollars, even after it had aired the entire season. When they pulled that content (or just quit making it...also pretty stupid) from Netflix, they had content sitting on a server making zero money. That's not the kind of content that drives subscriber growth. There is one reason they all had to get into streaming...Corporate Greed. A bunch of Wall St types that don't understand the business jumped in head first and are now losing money hand over fist and investor's patience has run out. They have already started licensing content again, but now do it from a position of weakness since they are losing so much money (their own fault too). Netflix is again the big winner here. It isn't going anywhere.
i love watching hbo fail and licensing max ORIGINALS to netflix. hilarious
They can keep Marval... and any superhero movie. They have over produced superhero crap
Sony had crackle
Only streamer dying is Netflix
Streaming ain't dying.
"Avast Me Hardys. Argh" ! 🏴☠
I see that streaming is best choice to communities which have bad internet
How is streaming a good choice for communities that have bad internet? The internet itself won't allow them them to stream if it's bad quality. Have you ever thought of that before you posted your comment that made an ass out of yourself no you didn't.
Because of there prices and some so stupid there limit to amount profiles can have no Matter amount people live in your home. 2nd lack of true native 4k picture with true 4k audio quality like MAX and Netflix.
The prices seem pretty affordable. What do you think woudl be the "perfect" price?
isn't Netflix doing better than ever? they are the only consistent profitable streamer out there and they easily have the most subscribers. none of the other streamers even comes close. they aren't going anywhere. although Paramount Plus and Peacock probably have sketchy futures. but as for Netflix, forget it. they won the crown for streaming.
Ai v.o's are interesting aren't they ;)

Cable must die
As much as one would think that cable should die we need cable to balance out streaming when you have streaming services along the line as Paramount Plus that is raising their prices for a third time in less than a year. Year after year, the streaming services uses the same excuse that they need money to make the content or something along that line yet, we the customer are not seeing any return or progress in the quality and the quantity of the content when they raise their prices except to line their pockets and see who can be the greediest and do it the fastest.
@@frankrodriguez6998 Streaming is basically turning into cable, which is why I don't subscribe to anything and just watch YT 😂
I’m a free loader. I use all of my moms steaming stuff lol
You repeat the same thing over and over again. Seriously.
pirating is way easier and free
Its the viewers fault; they should be subscribing to every service and pay their fair share for each month.
LOL Just messing with you. #BuyPhysicialMedia

Well in Netflix’s case it’s Because self produced content is woke and and it sucks. Otherwise they regularly get movies that bomb.
Zero IQ take
Not everything is “woke” it’s ok to judt not like something without having to have a bigger reason behind it
@@kevin10001 when China owns controlling interests in Six of the USA movie houses ……. Most everything is Woke . Netflix may not be part of it but their studio made content for the Most part is Very woke.
1000 iq take@@Youdotty
Netflix is now
Bad title. 👎 Streaming isn't dying. Just some companies going under. Streaming is here to stay.
Just because its too slow to be overtly noticeable doesnt mean its not happening. Look how long it took cable to finally be axed. Some people still even have that....
What makes you so sure?
Go woke
This AI voice is really annoying to listen to
What a dumb article, streaming is doing fine
Then you didn't read it or watch it. Folks are sick of the high prices and ads and b.s.
streaming is good to a point you dont really own the movies and they can pull any film at any time thats the draw back they don want any one to own dvds or records , they need to be making money off of you and me , as for me i have so many dvds and i would never rent , and with adds on here i dont mind that one bit thats ok , but again if you pay for streaming and save movies online that you payed for they have all rights to pull the film its more like this ........Disney let everyone watch there movies and they pull there films and put them in a vault so you cant watch them for years , but the freedom of owning dvds is great and you can watch them and theres ex stuff on the dvds that streaming does not have , and many are finding out that movies that they own are being pulled........many are upset and didnt take that root as many others have done and sold there dvds , again stream is not for serious movie watchers from the past that did grow up watching movies , and there are others who love the renting deal but dont like to own movies that take up space .........if you love streaming thats great if you love buying new or older dvds thats great too , but i see it as far as stream going back wards ..........to the days of HBO and SHOWTIME or MAX if you miss it not telling when it will come on again , i am not fighting or any thing like that just letting you know the movie library of streaming movies may get smaller as time goes buy and dvds will be around for along time like a classic car , stay safe and take care .........streaming or dvds is what many like rent or buy and own its up to you happy movie watching
No, it's not doing fine.
I dumped everything but Prime and I only keep that because of the free shipping. I am just beefing up my home disc collection.
Fair enough hehe
