@@FilmStackit will be interesting to see Netflix in a post stranger things period cause that seemed to be their biggest show so once season 5 is out it will be interesting to see Netflix moves forward cause they have been having more flops then hits
@@FilmStackthat's the only reason why I keep reactivating my account is because stranger things. But other than that I barely even watch Netflix no more. I be on Hulu and Tubi more than Netflix. I need to cancel.
@@weird-guyin the long run one or two hit shows isn’t sustainable cause that more money wasted and it could make investors nervous to invest in shows cause the way Netflix works is the show has to be an instant hit or it’s cancelled they don’t let the show have the time to find its audience by the time it does find its audience it’s usually already cancelled and they haven’t learned streaming has gone back to the cable model of releasing shows cause it drives engagement and brings back event watching cause if people are actually invested in a show they will make the time to watch it when it releases new episodes
Honestly after seeing them do that password sharing thing and seeing their numbers increase instead of decrease. I’ve just started to realize that it doesn’t matter what they do their too big or a streaming service.
@@FilmStack agreed cuz I think we all have highly doubted the intelligence of the majority when it comes to those increases and password difficulties. Most people will just deal with it anyway
If you ask me, it was naive for people to believe that the $10/month of shared unlimited content business model was going to last forever. There comes a point where a price point like that is just unsustainable in the long run (especially one in which original content they have to invest in producing to get subs to come/stay). I cancelled my netflix over a year ago but that truth was *always* abundantly obvious to me, you guys just got spoiled. They have every right to change their policies and their rates just as much as a consumer has every right to sign up or leave whenever they wish. If people want to sign up and stay then it means they still value the service well enough to pay for it; and if you don't value the service then no one is making you stay so I don't see the issue. Move on to a service that works for you and enjoy. The whole world doesn't have to agree with you.
Many people overreacted when Netflix lost 1 millon subscribers. Which is like 0.1 percent of their subscribers. Funny enough they gained millons more many months later
Disney+ easily took a worse drop in subscribers. First it was the Indian market unsubbing because they lost the right to cricket games, then it really freefalled in just 3 months by almost 12 million because of Iger's moronic "we're pulling 100+ content from our service including all our original content outside of Star Wars and Marvel". In total Disney saw a 18 million sub drop in the course of 9 months because of that stunt. Now their ad tier going outside the US is the main thing saving that service from losing more subs. Guess enough people realized there's little point in getting Disney+ when all their shows can be watched for free and all their movies are available on DVD and blu ray and all their original content outside of Marvel and Star Wars has been nuked from existence.
Yeah Netflix will be fine. Ultimately they do have the most varied content. Reality shows, blockbuster movies, dramas, comedy specials, rom-coms, history, kids shows, and every kind of documentaries. And being able to buy old shows -- like Seinfeld -- and old movies really helps to flesh out their catalog between new releases. My wife and I watch specific shows on Apple or Peacock or Prime, but we watch Netflix. Its the main course. And they have the best UI.
They have the absolute worst UI. I hate it with a passion. It's the main reason I quit Netflix. The same titles keep popping up over and over again. Netflix claims to have thousands of titles, but good.luck finding them.

Netflix approach to content doesn’t necessarily lead to lower quality. That all depends on the people they hire to actually make the show. Like hiring a lot of known writers, producers, and actors and trusting them to make your content. Also buying the scripts to coming up talent which can sometimes produce content that is better than the established filmmakers.
ultimately its the consumers fault as very little people fought back against netflix. Netflix and Disney could raise the prices by 5 bucks tomorrow and the common person wouldn't want to miss the next season of stranger things. Its not hard to torrent but people are FAR to lazy these days.

It's easy to scream laziness and do zero analysis of why it's easier for folks to stay with them than leave. It's the lack of a viable alternative in the marketplace. Yes there are other streaming services, but when those services doing the same shady shit as Netflix where are they gonna go? Also with every streaming service being a silo of movies + shows that corporation owns, it doesn't allow the kind of cross-polination of different media that Netflix or the old cable TV model did. In some cases you can get a mix Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Universal, and other companies work on Netflix still whereas if you go to Disney+....you're just gonna get that or with Paramount+ you're just gonna get what Viacom owns. Like sure they could go back to the husk of cable & network TV, but that still has the problems that pushed people away from it in the first place like high package costs per month compared to a single streaming service fee or the bloat of programs that they're not interested in. There is RUclips, but it doesn't have the same level of programming that is analogous to the crop of TV shows on the streaming services and you have to pay extra to buy/rent movies here. To use your example of Stranger Things, if a consumer doesn't want to deal with Netflix and doesn't want to "be far too lazy" but still wants to watch that show...what are you proposing that is just as fast & convenient as getting a Netflix account? There's just paying $40+ for a Blu-Ray season pack that won't come out for a long while after they air on Netflix, getting into pirating (which sorry, I know how to do that too but it's not as simple to figure out & do as paying a Netflix), or hope that someday it gets licensed out to another service which I am not holding my breath for anytime soon. We can sit here on our keyboards & complain like old men that people are just "lazy", but the systematic convenience factor is gonna win and bury our complaints into obscurity. I'd rather try to understand why that convenience is desirable and actually try to figure out what options are out there that are just as convenient, but more beneficial.
Some ppl don't have the time to torrent or stream movies or series nowadays. What with the ridiculous amount of Ads and having to wait for set show to be available to stream I would rather stream on Netflix. And this is coming from someone who use to torrent and stream shows for 2 years
Quality wise i'd take HBO>>>Netflix any day of the week. But "great" Netflix shows have some of that "it" factor vibes, like Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday. Even their mid hits like Bridgerton, Sex Education, You, Ozark are good. It's just that for every one of those shows, there are 5 pretty mediocre or unwatchable ones as well. HBO doesn't have those or keeps that ratio at a very very minimal.
@@saiganesyajonnalagadda3782I agree and that it’s max they can use hbo to acquire great movies cause outside of the power rangers Netflix has nothing for me max has a lot more for me like the dc and Cartoon Network catalogs as well as warners back catalog of network shows
@@saiganesyajonnalagadda3782 I'll go out on a limb and say most of the other services not just HBO are better by quality ratio. For every rings of power on Amazon there's a reacher. Apple just puts out banger in terms critical success but they don't get any popularity. Even paramount has invincible and the boys so by ratio most companies not named Disney do better than Netflix but Netflix is just better at getting that cultural love and popularity. People talk about their shows.
Not everyone, I am happily Netflix free for about 2 years now. I started to realy hate their UI, their reccomondations and instead of their thousands of movies and series, they kept showing me the same titles over and over again. I won't come back until they give me an A-Z overview per series/movie genre. It's bot that difficult, I'm subscribed to 4 services which allow me to browse through all of their content.
the whole netflix is dying was heavily because of the disney plus mob who were all too eager to jump on the bandwagon. even when it had its decline it was not that bad. the irony is hbo/max/warner or whatever it is called is putting things back on Netflix. i believe that Netflix has made some dumb decisions and still does but never anything that is likely to outright cause any sign long term problems. the stupidest moves by Netflix was when they cancelled a bunch of good programs.
but netflix also gives up shows after 1 season, shows that were decently loved by many. what is stypid because most shows need more than 1season to succeed.
For me, netflix was done when cancelled The OA, didnt gave the show a finale and dont give a chance for other streaming to continue the show. Its such a disrespect to the viewers. the OA is the best show that netflix has ever done. I am still mad to this day. Ugh
I think netflix has hit a point where its on the same pillar as the other big names. For example, Warner brothers has been bought twice in the past 10 year. Warner on its has not survived. It just so happens that the name is too big that changing it will probably hurt more. So considering the debt that netflix has. If whoever owns it decides to bail and sell. The next person will probably keep the name the same
the problem isn't market share with streaming, the problem is profits. Netflix and many other streaming services have yet to make a real profit, which is prime reason for password blocking, nuking shows and movies and many more bad decisions. Inspite of having a large subscriber base they still can't give profits to their shareholders
The password sharing, mediocre binge one week and forget about it the next week shows/movies, poor treatment of creatives and price hikes mean that I cancelled my Netflix account earlier this year. Have not missed it.
Instead of getting some of my money, the up the price and throw in ads for the cheaper version, so now Netflix will get none of my money. I paid not because I had to, but because I wanted to support the company, I was behind what they were doing and what they offered. They’ve gotten too greedy. Pay more money, and I’m not getting anything more for it.
I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a Netflix original show beyond the first episode…. They’re all weak and soulless corporate garbage. You should do a video about their mediocre content and why people shove it down endlessly to fill the void.
Netflix 2023 reported Long-term debt ($14.3 billion). They are in Good company with Walmart, and Verizon for greatest in billions of debt. I guess if you are not billions in debt, you're a big nothing. Amazing how that works.
I dislike streaming it doesn’t seem to work with people who already know what they want to watch, and then those shows and movies, not being on any service resulting in me having to go to physical media to get better quality audiovisual experience on top of actually being able to watch the shows and movies I want to it a sad time to be a movie fan and I have been unable to access most of the films that used to be integral. I feel like Netflix just offered new stuff to keep people hooked, but most people I know cancel the subscriptions when the password sharing came into effect, they never really use it, and just put it on in the backgroundor spent more time trying to find something than actually using the service
Netflix, Spotify, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna will always be the bread winners no matter whats made because they’re setting the trends the others are trying to follow
I don't know if this business model is sustainable. You basically need a constant home run of hit shows to keep your subscribers. But we all know shows like Stranger Things don't come around that often. There's gonna be a time when 5 of their hit shows finish at the same time and the replacements aren't that popular. What then? It's so expensive to produce these shows and when it flops, it's so disastrous financially.
But that's literally been the business model of every television network for decades. Whether a network or a service, you aim for as many hit shows as possible to build your brand as a whole...and sometimes you win sometimes you lose but you keep pushing anyway.
The pride I see people with saying that they pirate all their content is pretty funny. Imagine complaining that your fave show got cancelled but you amazon sticked it. Hypocrites. I'm not saying pay for everything but if you like a show you gotta find a way to support it, otherwise you have no right to complain.
Sometimes it’s the only way to go when a piece of media u want to watch isn’t available legally like it’s marked out of print physically and not available digitally or to stream
Either cancel them after one season or just don’t greenlight it if it gets in the way of Teen Titans Go or SpongeBob because we don’t want to make great cartoons anymore. Naaaaah. Kids next door sequel?…..Naaaaaah.
@@FilmStack I don’t know but the media landscape right now is in a fragile state. The next 5 years will be pretty much the same as it is today but by the time we near 2030 I can see the media landscape becoming so fragile that it breaks. I think by 2030 the media will realise that the streaming model isn’t sustainable, and it will collapse. My hope is we somewhat return to a more physical media world, in the 2030’s, whether that happens or not who knows. But this streaming and social media driven world I think could collapse in the early 2030’s. As it’s just not sustainable for Movies, Music and TV. Movies, Music and TV are all in a bad place right now, and the bubble is about to burst I think, by the time we near 2030.
Yeah definitely something interesting to keep an eye on! For sure streaming isn’t the “final” solution. The industry will always evolve (usually to whatever gets them more money). Wonder what that will be haha
@@FilmStack I don't think streaming will die, outside of total societal collapse that takes down internet servers the appeal of the internet & watching stuff on the internet has too high of a convenience factor. If pressed to pick a streaming alternative, it might be the return of cable TV packages but embrace niche. One model I could see working is take the model Samsung is doing with their own siloed TV channels (on their smart TVs) dedicated around a very specific genre or IP. They have channels from Dr.Who, Star Trek, Unsolved Mysteries to crime shows & cooking show reruns. That would borrow the appeal of streaming or RUclips where consumers can pick a specific program to watch without having to sit through other programs they don't want to see like on current cable TV, but be in a silo where corporations can still insert & charge for ad space to make money like in the older days. When new programming comes on you can slot specific times, charge ad space for it, and the rest of the channel can still be reruns of those specific programs. Granted I don't think that would be appealing at all to the corporate suit and the investor that demands unsustainable profit growth, but it's the closest I could come up with.
Bro, I will never ever ever put up with buying a $1000 iPhone or iWatch and not getting a charger with it. I will steal it, I will steal a hundred and throw 99 in the ocean. It wasn’t for environmental reasons that they stopped including them, it was for profit, and people shouldn’t be putting up with it. It will never be normal and it shouldnt be. include the friggin charger in the price but stop making me buy two things. i will rage.
I'm pretty sure Netflix will plunge to an all-time low at some point in the near future... until someone like Elon Musk buys it and retitles it Z. Kinda anticlimactic if you ask me.
Netflix is pretty much in a cycle where they'll have a decline, then they'll make a big show and do a comeback.

We can sit here on our keyboards & complain like old men that people are just "lazy", but the systematic convenience factor is gonna win and bury our complaints into obscurity. I'd rather try to understand why that convenience is desirable and actually try to figure out what options are out there that are just as convenient, but more beneficial.

Some ppl don't have the time to torrent or stream movies or series nowadays. What with the ridiculous amount of Ads and having to wait for set show to be available to stream I would rather stream on Netflix. And this is coming from someone who use to torrent and stream shows for 2 years
There's nobody else as good. Not at shows at doing the streaming thing. They make bad and popular shows Disney doesn't make popular shows.
Quality wise i'd take HBO>>>Netflix any day of the week. But "great" Netflix shows have some of that "it" factor vibes, like Stranger Things, Squid Game, Wednesday. Even their mid hits like Bridgerton, Sex Education, You, Ozark are good. It's just that for every one of those shows, there are 5 pretty mediocre or unwatchable ones as well. HBO doesn't have those or keeps that ratio at a very very minimal.
@@saiganesyajonnalagadda3782I agree and that it’s max they can use hbo to acquire great movies cause outside of the power rangers Netflix has nothing for me max has a lot more for me like the dc and Cartoon Network catalogs as well as warners back catalog of network shows
@@saiganesyajonnalagadda3782 I'll go out on a limb and say most of the other services not just HBO are better by quality ratio. For every rings of power on Amazon there's a reacher. Apple just puts out banger in terms critical success but they don't get any popularity. Even paramount has invincible and the boys so by ratio most companies not named Disney do better than Netflix but Netflix is just better at getting that cultural love and popularity. People talk about their shows.
Everyone, including me, comes crawling back to Netflix 😂
Not everyone, I am happily Netflix free for about 2 years now. I started to realy hate their UI, their reccomondations and instead of their thousands of movies and series, they kept showing me the same titles over and over again. I won't come back until they give me an A-Z overview per series/movie genre. It's bot that difficult, I'm subscribed to 4 services which allow me to browse through all of their content.
the whole netflix is dying was heavily because of the disney plus mob who were all too eager to jump on the bandwagon. even when it had its decline it was not that bad.
the irony is hbo/max/warner or whatever it is called is putting things back on Netflix.
i believe that Netflix has made some dumb decisions and still does but never anything that is likely to outright cause any sign long term problems.
the stupidest moves by Netflix was when they cancelled a bunch of good programs.
I will never pardon them for killing inside job
I’m pretty hyped for the 3 body problem series
Same here! I'm about half way through the 3rd book right now. Really hope the show does the series justice 🤞
I am not. The books were too anti-science and right-wing conspiracy for me.
Netflix is the OG of streaming. It can never die.
Netflix also gives alot more directoe and creators a chance , example Squid Games , so they willl always uncover a gem or two
but netflix also gives up shows after 1 season, shows that were decently loved by many. what is stypid because most shows need more than 1season to succeed.
Great video.
Thanks! Been working on it for a while and with Netflix announcing another price increase yesterday the video became even more relevant haha
There stock has gone up like crazy
For me, netflix was done when cancelled The OA, didnt gave the show a finale and dont give a chance for other streaming to continue the show. Its such a disrespect to the viewers. the OA is the best show that netflix has ever done. I am still mad to this day. Ugh
I think netflix has hit a point where its on the same pillar as the other big names.
For example, Warner brothers has been bought twice in the past 10 year. Warner on its has not survived. It just so happens that the name is too big that changing it will probably hurt more.
So considering the debt that netflix has. If whoever owns it decides to bail and sell. The next person will probably keep the name the same
Netflix is literally too big to die. As long as it keeps putting out mediocre movies it will stay around
Exactly! It’s silly how quick people are to think they will collapse due to some of their recent decisions (which even ended up helping them)
None of those other streamers are gonna match their subscribers
the problem isn't market share with streaming, the problem is profits. Netflix and many other streaming services have yet to make a real profit, which is prime reason for password blocking, nuking shows and movies and many more bad decisions. Inspite of having a large subscriber base they still can't give profits to their shareholders
The password sharing, mediocre binge one week and forget about it the next week shows/movies, poor treatment of creatives and price hikes mean that I cancelled my Netflix account earlier this year. Have not missed it.
Heh. As a lifelong pirate, watching this shenanigans is interesting.
Instead of getting some of my money, the up the price and throw in ads for the cheaper version, so now Netflix will get none of my money. I paid not because I had to, but because I wanted to support the company, I was behind what they were doing and what they offered. They’ve gotten too greedy. Pay more money, and I’m not getting anything more for it.
Ok
@@chrisjfox8715 ok
The visuals match the script in very interesting ways on this channel. Sometimes you have to think about why a certain visual is used.
Love all the clips from Revenge of the Sith
My in-laws still use my password in Mexico without issue
I couldn’t tell you the last time I watched a Netflix original show beyond the first episode…. They’re all weak and soulless corporate garbage. You should do a video about their mediocre content and why people shove it down endlessly to fill the void.
And when u finally find a netflix original that is decent or even good. It is already cancelled after 1season
Netflix 2023 reported Long-term debt ($14.3 billion). They are in Good company with Walmart, and Verizon for greatest in billions of debt. I guess if you are not billions in debt, you're a big nothing. Amazing how that works.
How the heck Disney + has no x2 viewing experience, watching a slow pace show is so torturing. 😭 that’s why Netflix is above.
I still way prefer Hulu and HBO the most
Literally clicked on this as it had no views
196 here
I dislike streaming it doesn’t seem to work with people who already know what they want to watch, and then those shows and movies, not being on any service resulting in me having to go to physical media to get better quality audiovisual experience on top of actually being able to watch the shows and movies I want to it a sad time to be a movie fan and I have been unable to access most of the films that used to be integral. I feel like Netflix just offered new stuff to keep people hooked, but most people I know cancel the subscriptions when the password sharing came into effect, they never really use it, and just put it on in the backgroundor spent more time trying to find something than actually using the service
One suggestion: Maybe do a video abt Steven Segal
Netflix, Spotify, Meta, Apple, Amazon, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna will always be the bread winners no matter whats made because they’re setting the trends the others are trying to follow
I don't know if this business model is sustainable. You basically need a constant home run of hit shows to keep your subscribers. But we all know shows like Stranger Things don't come around that often. There's gonna be a time when 5 of their hit shows finish at the same time and the replacements aren't that popular. What then? It's so expensive to produce these shows and when it flops, it's so disastrous financially.
That's literally every business. You need a new big product all the time to stay ahead.
But that's literally been the business model of every television network for decades. Whether a network or a service, you aim for as many hit shows as possible to build your brand as a whole...and sometimes you win sometimes you lose but you keep pushing anyway.
Then they wont give shows change to become hits because they end them after 1season.
I will continue to not spend on Netflix. It can be framed as innovative all it wants.. but it’s still making it’s failures it’s customers problems
The pride I see people with saying that they pirate all their content is pretty funny. Imagine complaining that your fave show got cancelled but you amazon sticked it. Hypocrites. I'm not saying pay for everything but if you like a show you gotta find a way to support it, otherwise you have no right to complain.
Sometimes it’s the only way to go when a piece of media u want to watch isn’t available legally like it’s marked out of print physically and not available digitally or to stream
So basically invest in Netflix
You sound like Vincent Chan
Either cancel them after one season or just don’t greenlight it if it gets in the way of Teen Titans Go or SpongeBob because we don’t want to make great cartoons anymore. Naaaaah. Kids next door sequel?…..Naaaaaah.
mostly make good shows unlike disney.
I disagree I think Netflix will die, I think the 2030’s will be the end of streaming.
What do you think will replace streaming?
@@FilmStack I don’t know but the media landscape right now is in a fragile state. The next 5 years will be pretty much the same as it is today but by the time we near 2030 I can see the media landscape becoming so fragile that it breaks.
I think by 2030 the media will realise that the streaming model isn’t sustainable, and it will collapse.
My hope is we somewhat return to a more physical media world, in the 2030’s, whether that happens or not who knows.
But this streaming and social media driven world I think could collapse in the early 2030’s. As it’s just not sustainable for Movies, Music and TV.
Movies, Music and TV are all in a bad place right now, and the bubble is about to burst I think, by the time we near 2030.
Yeah definitely something interesting to keep an eye on! For sure streaming isn’t the “final” solution. The industry will always evolve (usually to whatever gets them more money). Wonder what that will be haha
@@FilmStack I don't think streaming will die, outside of total societal collapse that takes down internet servers the appeal of the internet & watching stuff on the internet has too high of a convenience factor.
If pressed to pick a streaming alternative, it might be the return of cable TV packages but embrace niche. One model I could see working is take the model Samsung is doing with their own siloed TV channels (on their smart TVs) dedicated around a very specific genre or IP. They have channels from Dr.Who, Star Trek, Unsolved Mysteries to crime shows & cooking show reruns. That would borrow the appeal of streaming or RUclips where consumers can pick a specific program to watch without having to sit through other programs they don't want to see like on current cable TV, but be in a silo where corporations can still insert & charge for ad space to make money like in the older days. When new programming comes on you can slot specific times, charge ad space for it, and the rest of the channel can still be reruns of those specific programs.
Granted I don't think that would be appealing at all to the corporate suit and the investor that demands unsustainable profit growth, but it's the closest I could come up with.
didn't even mention One piece.
Bro, I will never ever ever put up with buying a $1000 iPhone or iWatch and not getting a charger with it. I will steal it, I will steal a hundred and throw 99 in the ocean. It wasn’t for environmental reasons that they stopped including them, it was for profit, and people shouldn’t be putting up with it. It will never be normal and it shouldnt be. include the friggin charger in the price but stop making me buy two things. i will rage.
I'm pretty sure Netflix will plunge to an all-time low at some point in the near future... until someone like Elon Musk buys it and retitles it Z. Kinda anticlimactic if you ask me.
I hate Netflix
